THIS IS A TWIN ENGINE, NOT
SINGLE.
Yes, you can do the Great Loop in this
boat. Radar arch is at 16'6", so it will
pass under the 19'1" clearance bridge on
the Illinois River.
Cruise Florida, the Bahamas and beyond
in comfort. Built by the legendary Kha
Shingh shipyard, the 1988 Vista 52
Sundeck Phantom is a rare bird, with the
sought-after fully enclosed aft deck
which adds 25% more living area compared
to its sister ships — more interior room
than many 60-footers — and storage
galore.
You get the interior room of a
much larger yacht while still being able
to operate the boat single
handed.
There are two salons — a 13’ x 13’
full beam salon upstairs aft with a
built-in entertainment center and wet
bar, and a second 11’ x 12’ salon
amidships on the main deck with its own
wet bar. Phantom is a cruiser’s dream
with room for friends, kids and
grandkids: there are two full heads with
showers and the three separate staterooms
sleep 7, plus there’s room in the upper
salon for a pullout couch (or two) to
sleep even more.
A short staircase from the upper salon
leads to an enclosed flybridge and helm
with chart plotter, radar, autopilot and
more. Excellent visibility and a newer
ruggedized bimini make it a comfortable
command station with seating for
six.
From the upper salon, sliding glass
doors lead to a line handling station
with walk-through transom and access to
the swim platform below.
The large galley is down a few steps
forward of the main salon with a new
full-size bottom-freezer stainless
refrigerator, Princess 3-burner cooktop
and a new convection/microwave. It has
more than 10 linear feet of countertop
and drawers plus two dozen cabinets and
more storage under the counter and under
the galley steps. It also has a newer
clothes washer/dryer.
It’s all carried on a solidly built
seaworthy hull, with a deep forefoot to
cut through waves and a flatter back for
performance. The stand-up engine room
below the main salon holds two
Caterpillar 3208TA diesels with less than
2,800 hours. At 375-hp each, they will
bring Phantom up to 20 knots if you need
to get somewhere in a hurry or throttle
back to cruise at 15 kts. At a more
leisurely 10 knots, the Cats sip a
miserly 3 gph from the twin 300-gallon
fuel tanks affording an 800-mile range.
There are also (8) new house batteries
and a Xantrex Freedom 25 inverter/charger
to provide AC power from the batteries
alongside a 12kw Westerbeke diesel
generator. There’s also a built-in fuel
polishing system and room for tool
storage.
The interior is dressed head to toe in
gorgeous teak, with steam-bent arched
doorways and a teak-and-holly sole in the
master stateroom, galley and forward V.
Down one level from the main salon are
two staterooms. The full-beam master
stateroom is aft and features an island
queen berth with built-in teak drawers,
cabinets and lockers along with its own
air conditioner.
A lockable door leads into the
remodeled head with shower. Across the
hall, a twin stateroom features two
bunks; the upper is on hinges and can be
swung down out of the way.
The forward V has an upper bunk for
one and a lower bunk for two along with a
private door into the forward
head/shower.
Phantom was owned for many years by a
marine engineer/boatbuilder who
maintained the engines at a high level;
both Cats and the generator start
instantly, with no smoke, and run strong.
The boat has been kept in fresh water for
the past six years and is in a covered
slip.
Very few Vista Yachts change hands
each year -- and even fewer with the
enclosed aft deck. Recent listings
include a 43-footer for $99,000 and a
49-footer for $109,000, and neither had
the enclosed aft.
This is a rare opportunity to own a
cruise-ready classic motoryacht with the
amenities you want and the space to enjoy
family and friends.
