The Back Cove has a resin-infused hull with Divinycell foam-core sandwich decks and stringer system. The exterior finish is gelcoat. She is designed with a deep-vee hull, flared bow, hard chines, longitudinal strings. The deck assembly is cored with composite foam and finished with a molded-in nonskid. Engine access is obtained by an electric lift in the wheelhouse. The transom is outfitted with a centerline door leading to a fiberglass swim platform. The opening ports are stainless steel finished with screens. The deck hardware and bow rail and stanchions are also stainless steel. The cockpit is self bailing, the bilge and engine room are gelcoated.

The Yanmar diesel engine, 6LY3, 315 HP, is 6 cylinders, turbo charged, and fresh-water cooled via the heat exchanger. Engine hours are 506. The shaft is 1 1/2" stainless steel, with cutters, to a 4-blade bronze propeller. Bronze rudder. SeaStar hydraulic steering. The vessel is equipped with both bow and stern thrusters.
