Mathews Brothers Robbins 40

Mathews Brothers Robbins 40 - Custom Built

Not commissioned until late 2007, \"Check Six\" is a beautiful custom-built Chesapeake Bay deadrise designed by Cecil Robbins and built by Mathews Brothers, LLC of Denton, MD.  The Robbins deadrise design is well-known around the Bay for offering a very soft ride in a chop, stability in a beam-sea, and exceptional fuel efficiency.  \"Check Six\" was custom built for the current owner, and is one of the finest boats built by the respected Mathews Brothers yard.  She has the sturdy hull of a true work-boat, and the interior of a fine yacht.  Inexpensive to operate and maintain, she cruises an easy 18 knots while burning only 15 gallons per hours (@ 1.33 NM per gallon) with her single low-hour (190 hours) Yanmar 480 hp powerplant, and tops out at @ 24 knots.  She has an enormous cockpit with 2nd steering station, electric-lift engine box with cushions, two fish boxes, cockpit overhang, transom door, swim platform, cockpit shower, cockpit U-line refrigerator with ice maker, rod holders, and a large cooler with cushioned seating.  The interior is \"yacht-finished\" and includes a single stateroom forward with centerline berth, split-head layout with Vacu-flush to starboard and dedicated shower to port, open salon arrangement with dinette and galley to port, main helm and convertible settee to starboard, and a beautiful high-gloss teak and holly sole throughout.

Other notable features include: Vetus Bow Thruster, Mariner night vision system, electronic single-lever controls, 9kw genset, Raymarine E120 electronics package, 2 remote spotlights, ship\'s computer with Dell monitor (linked to Nav system,cable, and DVD player), Kenwood stereo system, 2-zone air conditioning system, dual racors, 4 new AGM batteries, Xantrex Inverter system, bench-style Stidd helm chair with electronic adjustment, anchor windlass, and so much more.  Please see \"full specs\" for complete description.

\"Check Six\" is a very diverse boat in that she can be seriously cruised (perfect \"Great Loop\" boat), fished (although she has never been put to task), or day-tripping with a group of guests.  She is as beautiful as she is functional. Easy to see at our docks in Hampton, VA.

\"Check Six\" is easily boarded via the swim platform and through the transom door.  The cockpit area is tremdous!  There is a centerline electronically actuated engine room box with a large cushion to provide seating for a crowd.  There is a cockpit helm station to starboard for easy docking, a bait-prep station starboard forward with storage, a built-in refrigerator/freezer with ice maker port forward, and a cockpit hard-top which covers about half of the area.  Aft is a large cooler/dock box which also serves as additional seating. Entering the salon, there is a raised denette to port, and a convertible settee to starboard (converts to a double berth electronically).  Forward to port is the U-shaped galley, with the main helm station to starboard.  Continuing forward and below is the master stateroom.  This space consists of a centerline double berth forward, an eclosed shower to port, and an eclosed head to starboard.  Perfect arrangement for the cruising couple!
