Get Financing >
LOCATION: Bowmanville, Ontario
This 1976 Richardson 52 Thorfin was custom-built in Meaford, Ontario. Including a 4-foot hydraulic-adjustable Swim Platform, this becomes a 56' Cruiser suitable for large bodies of water.
The big boat is powered by TWIN CATERPILLAR TURBO-DIESEL 3306 ENGINES producing 335HP each! They only have 2025 Hours on them. To help maintain control, there is a Bow Thruster and a Stern Thruster!
Onboard you will find 3 spacious Staterooms! The Master is equipped with a converted Queen Berth and a built in dresser. It also has semi-private access to a full Head. The other 2 Staterooms each offer two twin berths separated by a shared nightstand. Each also includes a dresser.
The Galley is spacious and well-equipped with a full-size fridge/freezer, a built-in wall Pantry, and a built-in wall freezer. The vast counter top features a 2-burner electric stove top w/cutting board cover, a microwave oven, a toaster oven, and a large sink.
The Salon features a very large L-Shaped corner sofa with dinette, a second sofa, TV, and an open staircase to the Bridge. Huge windows allow for lots of natural light. The main floor is covered with newer laminate flooring.
There are TWO Full Heads with VaccuFlush toilets and separate showers.
The Bridge is super-spacious and is fully enclosed with a hard ceiling. It features very large windows, a J-shaped sofa, a nautical-wheel coffee table, and plenty of chairs.
The Cockpit has all the necessary guages, and navigational tools, with some updated equipment. There is removable canvas panels for if an open air feeling is preferred.
From the Cockpit, you have easy access to the bow which holds two large anchors on an electric windlass chain system. At the rear of the Bridge, there is door access to a 10' Dinghy on a Crane Davit system. The dinghy is powered by a 4hp outboard. This allows easy access to shore without having to pay huge docking fees.
There are 4 Air Conditioning Units to beat the summer heat.
The amount of storage space is probably unlike anything you have seen.
