That is a nice boat. It is pristine and spotless. I really like the furling boom. The low hours engine is nice, but Mitsubishi is not a common marine engine brand (yes I know a lot of Westerbekes were built on Mitsubishi blocks), but parts will be hard to find. Also the nearly fresh paint job makes the boat look great. However, the boat does suffer from one ailment. That is pricing it high to try to recover the cost of the upgrades. The issue with that is that old boats have a value. While you can spend a lot on fancy upgrades, it is a tough sell to recover the cost of those upgrades. By that metric, the boat is over priced by at least $15K. I suspect the boat is going to sit on the market for a while.
Hard knowing. Tough time of year as well. But, alas, it is only the asking price. It will be interesting to see. I have been blown away by the boats we had profiled and what they have sold for (episode on this is forthcoming). As always, thanks for your insight and comments!
One of my favorite S&S designs. Not enough headroom for me, though, as I'm 6' 2.5" to be exact. 😢 You guys might consider having a tape measure so you can measure headroom, settee length and width, and V berth dimensions. I'm constantly astounded how this important information is often difficult or impossible to find for most vessels.
Hello from Ireland again, Guys. OMG, I could happily, live in that Shed forever lol. What a Fantastic boat, totally Immaculate, and So well kept, just jump on, and Sail. It's well worth the asking price. Great video again, Guys, like always. 🙏🙏👌👏👏👏👏👏🥰🥰
Great episode. Great boat. Some lucky salty dog is going to get a beautiful classic S&S boat with the pedigree of Tartan quality build at a good price stored indoors, sailed only about 4 months / year. The engine is not even broken in which is at least a $20k upgrade ! I’m biased. My T37 came from Maine, well taken care for too. Cheers, Nick. S/V Angela Mia T37 #336 Lake Superior. PS.. I think the boat to port is a Cape George 36(?).
Thanks for your comment! Agreed! I think the boat to port is too big to be a Cape George 36, but I’m not entirely sure. All I know is that she sure is a pretty boat! Thanks for watching!
Mitsubishi Engine are GREAT! they are real workhorses , the only issue is if you are cruising Long Haul i.e. other countries besides SE Asia, Parts are an issue . Make sure you bring spare parts with you ! : )
Had a leak in the port chainplates , stain in bulkhead dead give away. has this been properly fixed?? I assume deck is cored so most likely water ingress in super structure on port side was this dealt with ?? Does have one advantage that I can see no modern anode eating electrical system, who wants to replace anodes every six months ??? I am a fan of boom roller reefing not so much of internal but it would do , but as everyone knows boom reefing stretches main sails. It would be worth checking the mainsail , speaking of sails does the old suit of sails come with ?? At that price I would hope so. You did not mention the core material can we assume balsa ???? or if the center board has been recently re rigged. Other things to check on a boat this age when was the last time the mast was serviced and rivets replaced same goes for standing rigging, running rigging too . Always remember a boats true value is not in pretty paint jobs or lavish interiors it lies in the quality of it's hull.
What about insurance? How much for storage until April? Then, Marinas and mooring areas have waitlists! Does it come with a mooring is the big question!
If you could talk them down a bit in price it might be totally worth it. This is clearly a boat where someone else has done the work, so yeah take advantage. You could spend $20k less and still end up spending more to refit a boat to this condition. Especially with the low hours engine and in-boom furling.
Very nice coastal sailer, for a couple. I mean, if you can live with 37 feet overall. I'd take the Hinckley myself, but that ain't gonna happen for $65,000. Good batteries and charger required if that windlass and winches are electric. Radar on mast? -didn't see it.
Nice boat, but I would much rather have the awesome and older T41 (in the same condition). Only 80 or so built even fewer with the optional deep keel and tall rig. Goes through head seas and to weather with a vengeance. Victory at Sea!
22:11 Hull is not fully cored. There are cored panels fore and aft. Deck core saturation is the big issue on the T37. Why does one owner make any difference? A newer owner might have replaced the sails, the electronics (the ones on the boat looked 20 years old), added refrigeration, replaced cushions, and a host of other things. How was the canvas? That's a big ticket item. Sorry, he's not going to get anywhere near $65K based on what I know of the Tartan 37 market and having sold one last spring that was far better equipped. Newer engine, furling boom, nice topsides are great but only go so far.
$10k on refrigeration? I don’t think so, especially if you’re a DIY kind of person… But one could certainly offer $15k off the asking price. One never knows!
No. Ok if you wanna stay coastal however this does NOT sport a full keel nor does it sport a keel mounted rudder. Instead its skeg mounted which means its prone to damage from a grounding or for that matter a playful Orca taking a nice bite out of it! You also cannot careen this boat for cleaning. That means you gotta dry dock it a very expensive endeavor. Yeah and its 37 feet long and those nice dry dock boys charge by the foot. I'd take a 29 foot cape dory over this its full keel and sports a keel mounted rudder it will go anywhere (and a grounding or careen isn't gonna damage it).
Whether or not your wife will get you that boat for Christmas depends on just how much she really loves you, and of course your bank account or her credit rating. Best of luck. Ken, listen to Red Green and keep your stick on the ice. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
That boat is immaculate, wow. Great stuff, beautiful yacht, congratulations on > 15k subscribers
Thank you and thank you for helping us get there!
She has been meticulously maintained - that is obvious. I owned a 33 for 8 years. Great boats.
The 33 is an awesome boat!
Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! No snow yet? 😃
We had a quick blast of snow, then it rained and was in the 50s… Thanks for watching!

Beautiful boat.
It really is!
A shed FULL of gorgeous ⛵️ s 👍👍
Love you both, buying this winter and it could be her a great boat!
One of my favorite S&S designs. Not enough headroom for me, though, as I'm 6' 2.5" to be exact. 😢
You guys might consider having a tape measure so you can measure headroom, settee length and width, and V berth dimensions. I'm constantly astounded how this important information is often difficult or impossible to find for most vessels.
This is a great idea and will try to remember to take one on our next adventure. Appreciate the comment and feedback!
Don't forget the Tartan 34c-- another S&S design. I had hull number 172.
Love the 34C! We profiled one a few months ago. Sold in a hot second. Thanks for watching!
Nice layout. Very different from all the rest. Good video. Thanks 👍
Appreciate it!

Thank you! Yeah, that shed is filled with some beautiful boats!
And, thank you for your comment from all the way from across the pond! Greatly appreciated.
Beautiful boat, great design and quality, I'd love to own it. But 65k for a a 42 year old is high.
Way too much! No real updates.
Oh man, the "portly" comment is so good.
Mark!!! He caught me off guard with that one…
Great episode.

Excellent insight! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Very nice, but as soon as someone buys it, the value of single owner status is gone and along with it, the premium paid.
Added on video you guys got it right red right on return

Did the boat have a keel trim tab??
No sir. At least not that I am aware of!

Someone might be able to. Between negotiating on the price and a survey that might turn up some things, it’s quite possible IMO. Thanks for watching!

Those 41s are super cool. Definitely hard to find!
I wish I could get my house sold.
22:11 Hull is not fully cored. There are cored panels fore and aft. Deck core saturation is the big issue on the T37.

Neighboring boat; St George Cutter?
I’m not sure but I don’t think so. It appeared to be longer than the Tartan we were on. I’ve seen her out sailing and she’s a beauty, though!
Need to spend ten grand on refrigeration,take fifteen off asking. Now we have a practical price.
$10k on refrigeration? I don’t think so, especially if you’re a DIY kind of person… But one could certainly offer $15k off the asking price. One never knows!
... how tall is the guy in the red hat ? :)
I’m a full 6’1” and change. Plenty of headroom for me!
... thanks :)
The height of those coamings is worth $5k alone
Agreed!
No. Ok if you wanna stay coastal however this does NOT sport a full keel nor does it sport a keel mounted rudder.

Beautiful boat! Don't have that kind of cash but I don't doubt she's worth it.
Whether or not your wife will get you that boat for Christmas depends on just how much she really loves you, and of course your bank account or her credit rating. Best of luck. Ken, listen to Red Green and keep your stick on the ice. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
If you can't write a check for it, you can't afford it.
Her credit rating is better than my bank account… Red Green: aces. So funny!
Have you made a video of beginner weekender sailboats (around 26 +/- feet)?
