2005 CHRIS-CRAFT ROAMER 40 — SOLD

Chris-Craft's superior build quality, timeless style, everything you could want on board and exceptional maintenance: this Roamer 40 ticked all the boxes.

Twin Volvo TAMD75 diesels are linked to direct shaft drives via ZF gearboxes, with thrust channelled through hull tunnels and controlled by digital throttles. She carries a Westerbeke generator and air-conditioning, an Idromar watermaker, Raymarine chartplotter and autopilot, VHF, trim tabs, chain counter, directional spotlight, sine wave inverter, Muir winch with stainless anchor on a swivel, and a bow thruster.

The foredeck is an entertainer's delight, with a large sunpad flanked by varnished teak and stainless handrails. Up at the bow is a rare and much-loved feature: a teak-covered bow bench seat, perfect for sunset conversations out of earshot of others. In the cockpit, warm teak underfoot, leather lounges, a rich teak table and a BBQ set the scene.

Below deck is a well-appointed galley with Corian worktop and solid timber cabinetry, a light-filled forward cabin with ensuite, and an inviting saloon with TV and sound system. A second cabin has twin bunks and its own ensuite head. Engine access could not be easier: at the push of a button the entire cockpit lifts to reveal the full engine bay, complete with genset, watermaker and outboard storage.

The vessel presented with an exceptional mechanical, electrical and cosmetic history. Major works included full TAMD75 services, aftercoolers, exhaust replacements, NMEA 2000 engine monitoring, Raymarine Axiom upgrade, sanitation rebuild, AGM batteries, full polishing, gelcoat repairs and canvas renewals.
