1962 Richardson Phantom express cruiser, - OTTAWA

Seller note:

This seaworthy 36ft. beauty was built to cruise, but can be and has been used as a movable home on the water. The cruiser is sectioned into a number of areas:
* a porch-like fully screened aft-deck (about 10ft. x 10ft.);
* a high-ceiling mahogany and teak wheel room;
* a galley with hot and cold water, electric stove top and microwave oven;
* a head with manual toilet and a vanity with sink;
* a salon with a sofa (pull-out bed) and round table with bench that seats four; and
* a V-berth that sleeps two comfortably and provides additional storage space.
A GPS plotter, a UHF radio, a TV with built-in CD/DVD player and other such details contribute to safe cruising and pleasant evenings.
The sturdy aluminium hull was built by A.V. Roe of AVRO Arrow fame, using the custom Kaiser aluminium and aircraft construction techniques used in building the Arrow. The wooden superstructure was built by Richardson boat works in Tonawanda, N.Y. The boat?s greatest strength in this age of high energy prices are the two General Motors reliable and very economical diesel engines.
