1988 1988 37 Convertible

Step aboard and you’ll feel why these classic convertibles earned their reputation offshore. The wide cockpit gives you the working room you want for a full crew, with high gunwales and a sturdy transom that make long days on the troll feel secure. Up top, the flybridge offers excellent sightlines, with plenty of space for updated electronics and companion seating so no one misses the action. Inside, the layout is timeless: a bright salon with big windows, practical galley, and comfortable accommodations below for staying aboard over a weekend. Heavy, deep‑V hull construction gives this boat a solid, confidence‑inspiring ride when the breeze comes up and the chop stacks tight.

This size and style of convertible shines in waters where conditions can shift quickly from calm to choppy. The hull’s deep entry and weight help her push through short, confused seas without beating up the crew, while the generous cockpit and transom door make it easy to work lines, handle fish, or load dive gear. Shallow approaches and sandbars are common in this region, and the 37’s manageable draft and precise low‑speed handling are a real advantage when threading channels or backing into a tight slip. For runs to offshore structure or relaxed cruises along the sound, it delivers a capable, comfortable platform that doesn’t feel oversized or hard to manage.
