Broker's Comments

VIRTUAL TOUR - VIDEO - 80 TO 100 PHOTOS - FULL SPECS CAN BE VIEWED OF THIS VESSEL!

This Bruce Roberts 45 is a true offshore vessel with a proven record of cruising.

This Bruce Roberts design has a modern long fin keel extending into a full-structured skeg with an inboard hung rudder attached. The bow is raked while the stern is reversed with a counter overhang and a fitted swim ladder. There is an open foredeck with wide side decks that lead aft past a low-profile trunk cabin amidships. and a raised deck salon to an aft cockpit.

A Fleming self steering unit is included. The lifelines have a solid stainless steel upper rail with intermediate cable. The teak deck overlays were removed and replaced with fiberglass nonskid.

The interior is no nonsense -- two large quarter berths, upper and lower berths in the saloon plus a convertible dinette. There are also two single berths in the forward stateroom. A very large nav station is located just inside the companionway. A very workable galley is just forward of the nav station.

The Westerbeke 70 HP engine is located under floor in the nav area. All flooring comes up for easy access.

If you want to cruise the open ocean or just the islands, this is a fine boat for the purpose. It is located near our office in Seattle for easy showing. Give us a call.
