1989 Ericson 38

Groton, Connecticut

$69,000

Please watch the video tour linked within this listing. The popular Ericson 38 was updated with a new deck and interior layout from 1986-- 1990 named the 38-200. This 1989 model year example is like a time machine taking you back to what a nearly new Ericson 38 would have looked like condition wise, yet with many modern upgrades like a 2024 Raymarine electronics package including radar, new Sea frost refrigeration, new wiring, LED lighting, flag Blue Awlgrip hull, Max Prop, new cushions and so much more!  This boat is gorgeous inside & out, with most everything either fully restored to like-new condition or actually recently replaced with new equipment. The cost to restore a boat to this condition exceeds $100K so this is an incredible value for someone who appreciates the beautiful classic lines and sailing performance that Ericsons are known for, but wants one where someone else has put in the time & money needed to restore.
