DeFever 36 Sundeck Flybridge Heritage East
Designed by renowned trawler architect Arthur DeFever, this gem presents in beautiful condition and has been meticulously maintained.
Whether you want to live aboard, undertake long-distance passage-making or simply relax, this vessel is for you. DeFever boats are heralded as amoung the best on the water (with over 3800 boats built) and are well known for incredible sea-worthiness, beautiful timber interiors and thoughtful, spacious layouts. It's hard to imagine a more spacious interior within this sized hull.
Fitted with anti-rolling features, the boat handles beautifully. Can be easily handled by one person if required, even in tight spots.
She has an after master stateroom with en-suite. The forward double cabin has it's own guest toilet and shower. The saloon area is seperate to the well-designed galley, and there is exceptional storage space throughout.
The boat has a sun-deck and a flybridge, both offering ample space for relaxation and socialising.
With a single 270HP Cummins diesel (with low hours), she will cruise comfortably at 7 knots at a respectable 6 to 7 ltrs per hour.
The boat has also undergone extensive upgrades as listed below. She is due to be lifted out of the water in September for antifoul, Propspeed, anodes etc. Good time to get a survey done.
