The Graymarine in-line 6-cylinder engines were reportedly installed during the 1960s and are beautifully presentable. They are very clean and sound great as her owners have maintained them well. Some of the maintenance and upgrades that have been done over time include new exhaust manifolds and exhaust systems, water pumps, rebuilt carburetors, and new throttle cables.

She has a smooth operating hydraulic steering system and updated trim tabs onboard as well.

There are 4-8D batteries that are protected by a NewMar 1-2-70 battery Isolator that can be charged by both engine and shore power options. There is a Guest Charge Pro Series battery charger installed.

She also has a 1000 watt Heart Jazz 1000-12 inverter on board for power when away from the dock. The inverter is hard wired into numerous outlets throughout the yacht.

Richardson Boat Company of North Tonawanda, New York produced high-quality boats from 1909 to 1962. Richardson suspended recreational boat construction during WWII, becoming a major supplier of a wide variety of military vessels and expanding in the process. This boat was built not long after Richardson returned to production of recreational boats.

Hull construction is 1" x 4" planking. The bottom is marine plywood. Decking is 1" x 3" planking topped with painted canvas.

This beautiful Richardson enjoys several modern upgrades that increase her functionality and reliability without detracting from her classic appeal. These include custom Diamond Seaglaze windows with no leaks, new wiring, and non-skid deck paint. The exterior brightwork is very presentable -- recently done and well protected with canvas as well as a full rear inclosure for year round cruising.

Waterline Boats / Boatshed does not independently verify capacities and measures, which are reported from seller-provided information and/or literature.

The cabin lighting in the boat has been upgraded and the head was replaced in 2003 to more modern standards. The galley was rebuilt with new appliances in 2007, including Princess propane 2 burner stove and Norcold refrigerator/freezer. The boat also comes with a like new Engel 320 High Performance Hard Cooler that is large enough to store all your cruising provisions.

A new forward berth headliner was installed in 2007 and presents very well. The forward V-berth makes into a full double bed for sleeping and is clean and ready to be used.

A Traeger BBQ with a stainless steel BBQ mount is included as well as a number of lines, buoys, fenders, and other miscellaneous boating accessories and items.

She has a good sized aft cockpit deck for working the deck, fishing, crabbing, or just soaking in some sun while at anchor.

Below there is a nice galley for prepping meals with plenty of storage for your serving ware and provisions for your trips away from the dock.

Behind the galley is a spacious head with a Raritan PHII manual flush head. There is plenty of secure storage for all your necessary needs in the head and more! In the head there is also a large access panel to all the electrical on the boat. This makes for very convenient repairs and updates as needed. The electrical is well laid out and organized.

The V-Berth cabin is very spacious with a larger berth that easily will sleep two. There are a dozen drawers for storing your gear and clothes as well as a number of shelves in the cabin as well. The lighting is very pleasant and the four port windows let in just the right amount of light and all have individual covers for privacy and keeping out the light.

Her interior is very clean and well-maintained. Her engine compartment was found to be clean, orderly and dry. The hulls sides and decks were also found to be in good condition and well painted as she was painted in 2021. Overall she shows that she has had very good care from her current, and previous owners.

This truly classic Richardson Deluxe Sedan Cruiser 34 signals her owner's pride-in-ownership. Her bright work is in well-kept condition, and she's very trim and orderly. She was last hauled out in October of 2020 and had the bottom paint and boot stripe done, and the hull primer paint was done at the same time. The hull was then prepped and painted with her final coats being laid in July of 2021. She sits in fresh water and the bottom paint is reportedly in great condition.

Her new owner can proudly take the helm without any need of correction for deficient care, and immediately begin enjoying the looks of admiration from other boaters that she draws with her lovely lines and supurb performance while underway.

While appearing totally classic and original she has enjoyed many practical upgrades that enhance her performance, reliability and ease of maintenance, as well as make her a very comfortable cruiser to take on extended trips and over nighters.

If you're drawn to classic vessels but aren't ready to fully restore one yourself, this Richardson is a gorgeous piece of yachting history ready to cruise at a amazing price.
