Sure, there are names in boating that come about and fade more than once. This one, however – this legend – has retained the extraordinary flavour of its past while embracing the latest in express cruiser design. It’s the Prince Valiant, or Odin, of power boating. So that if you know the past, or even if you don’t, you’ll quickly realize why the Chris Craft Roamer 40 offers the best of both worlds.
Everything on this small yacht is first class and stylish. The elegance of a better grander era describes it quite well. Even the wide hatch in the aft cockpit, which opens to the engine
compartment, blends in nicely. In fact the whole aft deck can be hydraulically raised for total
access to the engines. But even with that, the cockpit entertainment centre includes a wet bar, refrigerator/freezer with icemaker and storage.
Forward in the cockpit, the helm sports a full panel in front of its adjustable captain’s chair, with everything laid out at a glance. Ample room is provided for all the goodies you care to install.
Aport, too, is a comfy curved couch for four, which allows the driver to be a part of the conversation, while taking care of business out front.
Below, the salon seems quite spacious for a yacht this size. Nicely finished cherrywood cabinetry marks the overall aura of comfort, while a light coloured overhead adds to the airiness.
Lights are equipped with rheostats so they can be full or dimmed to fit the occasion.
The salon sports a deep-cushioned, crescent-shaped couch circling a cherry and maple table.
Designed to accommodate a normal space, the table is also expandable to feed the whole crowd at dinner.
Plenty of room is allotted to the galley and prep areas, all brightened by large windows, skylights and opening ports; long a trademark of the builder. Located starboard, the galley features a Granicoat countertop with Corian inserts, which covers a custom molded, brushed stainless steel sink and 2-burner flush cook top. A teak and holly sole, with maple bulkheads, accents the Ultra-leather upholstery on the adjacent couch. Large, separate refrigerator and freezer units are also featured, as well as ample under-counter storage space. The salon also provides a 20” Sharp LCD TV, DVD, and Bose 3-2-1 sound system.
Forward, the master stateroom includes a full-size berth, all illuminated by side windows, skylights and overhead reading lamps; long a trademark of the builder. Entertainment is also provided with an LCD TV/DVD package.
The forward suite also includes a private head/shower, with a circular shower door. Here again, teak flooring lends a warm aura to the spacious room. Centered in the yacht is a twin-bed
stateroom – with an optional filler to join then into a double. There is an opening port, as well as a private head.
Topside This model had the Heritage package and looked classy. She had regal looks from the teak accents starting in the sit pit up front all the way to the spacious teak covered swim platform.
The bow holds the anchor, roller and ground tackle handled by a low profile windlass. The windlass has foot switches with protective covers to prevent accidental cycling, and a remote
spotlight is prepared to show the way for late night approaches. In the center of the bow is a healthy sized sun pad surrounded by a wood safety rail and wood cup holders. The stainless steel windshield had port and starboard windshield wipers so you and the navigator can see in
the inclement weather. The long windows along the sides are accented with beautiful wood and the Chris-Craft signature. The hard T-top kept us from the sun and the two hatches allowed plenty of cool air into the cockpit.
The helmsman has a fully adjustable professional quality chair within easy reach of all controls.
Moving about the cockpit was easy with plenty of seating under the T-top and a huge entertainment area aft, complete with a removable fold-over table. The day hatch to the power
plant was under one of the rear benches at the stern, and when you need more room for working with the engine room, the aft section lifts on electric rams.
The center companionway hatch leads down to a spacious cabin with a full galley to starboard and large settee to port. The galley includes all the comforts of home, a microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator, nested silverware drawer, nested china cabinet and much more. The countertop has covers for the sink, cook top and trash receptacle that give a clean top and large workspace for trays of food while entertaining. Just starboard and around from the galley is a flat panel TV with a
wine and glass storage cabinet below. The settee to port has a nice fold-over wood table and storage behind.
The main stateroom is forward, complete with a full head. The shower is circular with a clear Plexiglas sliding door closure. Back in the stern stateroom, you have two single beds, a hanging closet and another full head. Chris-Craft has really taken advantage of space on this boat.
The entertainment area is maximized while still making a comfortable stateroom for the master and the guest. Throughout the interior, they have used lots of contrasting dark woods for the walls, cabinets and doors while using a bright light maple for the sole.
This elegant cruiser is 43’6” long with a 14’ beam. She weighs in at 27,000 lbs and has a 20 degree deadrise. With a fuel capacity of 400 gallons and a fresh water capacity of 95 gallons, she can travel for quite a while without a fill up, and with a 38” draft, she can get you into some pretty nice areas close to the beach.
