I wonder the same. Naval architects got away from those types of bows years ago for better heavy seas seakeeping albeit at the expense of higher...
Yeah, that MAN model designation caught me, 2848 is the V8, 2840 is the V10, and 2842 is the V12. No a very intuitive system, glad they changed it...

I would suspect that if the boat has a Grill and/or Washer/Dryer than you have 240VAC Appliances onboard, you would typically see two 120VAC legs...
I have a hard time believing that someone planning on spending $1M - $5M plus on a yacht has not done significant due diligence before he goes to...
