Description
This Monk 38 presents a chance for you to own an affordable trawler, with a classic profile and a beautifully appointed interior punctuated with mahogany hardwood. She has been well maintained, refit, and upgraded. A custom bimini top (2022) provides superior sun protection. The main cabin features the Lower Helm to starboard, Salon to port, & Galley to starboard. Companionways fore and aft lead to berthing. There are recently installed Plasteak hardwood floors throughout, and the formica walls & overhead accents are all in good condition. Newer sliding windows throughout yield an abundance of natural light, view, and ventilation. Her construction is solid fiberglass, and fiberglass decks are cool underfoot and easy to upkeep. High bulwarks & tall, mahogany topped rails contribute to a feeling of safety on deck. She features a skeg protected prop & up-swept, highly flared bow that contribute to a dry ride in rough weather conditions. The engine & generator (212 hours) have been serviced this year. There is even a new dinghy AND new electric motor for it, included to take you ashore!
In 2024 alone she received: new bottom paint, shaft bearings, shaft packing, shaft pulled and inspected, injectors rebuilt, valve cover gasket, bow thruster, engine mounts, shaft key, automated discharge fire suppression in the engine room, bonding wires connecting the tanks & filler necks!
