Randell 38

RANDELL 38


A very reliable, comfortable, practical boat, perfect for our West Australian conditions whether that be a trip up the river, a weekend or more at Rottnest, a couple of weeks down at Quindalup or for the more adventurous a trip to the Abrolhos Islands in May.

She's light and airy in the saloon with a dinette which can easily convert into a double bed if required.

Ample storage throughout boat. Galley in main saloon opposite helm station with sink and 2 plate induction stovetop and a brilliant combo microwave, convection oven underneath. LED lighting throughout the boat. Carpet and soft furnishings throughout the saloon with some lovely timber joinery.

Accomodation is forward in 2 Cabins. Main cabin with double bed seriously revamped in 2010 and V berth newly unholstered with 3 bunks and lots of storage. Lovely head with shower, wash basin and fresh water toilet.

Spacious aft deck with a 24 volt fridge / freezer chest which runs off shore power, gen set and solar. Fish cleaning tray and wash down pump, back deck showers x 2 and access to a great duckboard with swim ladder. Spotlights on aft deck.
