1982 Reliance 44 — Phantom

The Reliance 44 is known for her strong, heavy-built construction, full keel, and beautiful, classic lines that make her a capable bluewater cruiser. Designed with strength and safety in mind, she offers a solid platform and a timeless aesthetic.

This particular boat has been unattended for a couple of years and will benefit from some TLC and recommissioning. The engine does run, but she should be viewed as a light project for someone looking to bring a well-built vessel back to her former glory.
