FAIRWAY 36 FLYBRIDGE CRUISER  

'Wistari' is a top example of the popular Fairway 36, Australian built flybridge cruiser. Reduced to sell at $175,000 due to ongoing health concerns for the current owners, this is a great opportunity for a buyer looking to get cruising now.

Powered by a Cummins 315 shaft drive diesel engine, with only 2080 hours and a very clean engine room, 'Wistari' cruises economically at 8-10 knots using approximately 16 LPH and has top speed of 18-22 Knots for when you need to get home quickly.

The aft cockpit is an area to gather for BBQ's, enjoy sunset sips or have a hot or cold shower on the swim platform, all under cover of the fixed GRP cockpit roof and the extended sun awning. Pull out the folding deck chairs and table, kick back and relax. Move up the stairs and you'll find the spacious flybridge area offering panoramic views for the guests and driver to enjoy. The flybridge bimini offers sun protection and most of the vital controls are duplicated there.

Offering a light and spacious interior with timber cabinetry and camel tan carpeting throughout, 'Wistari' is a fantastic cruising option for a family or a cruising couple, with a double berth master cabin forward, 2 single bunk berths to port and a very large head compartment that sports a separate shower area along with plenty of light and ventilation. If you need to sleep extras from time to time, the L shaped saloon lounge converts into an additional double.

The wheelhouse saloon is brilliant space with 360 degree views of the surrounds through large opening windows with fly screens. The long, inline galley with two burner gas stove provides ample bench space and storage to starboard and the L shaped saloon lounge is the perfect spot to play games, have drinks, watch TV or dine. Forward to port is the drivers station with all technical controls, trawler style steering wheel and comfortable seating for extended navigation. Underneath the helm seat is a chest freezer.
