Shows like no other 37 on the market today, meticulously cared for, low hours, comprehensive service records, and very well sorted out.
The Back Cove 37 has to be one of the most coveted Downeast boats out there. Efficient, relatively fast, excellent sea capability, a superior layout, quality construction, etc.. There's a reason why these 37s maintain great re-sale values and remain in high demand with a following after such a long production run.
CONTRAILS is a vee-style hull with downward turning chines forward. This allows the boat to get on plane easily, with very little bow rise. The 37 has a single low hour Cummins 600 hp diesel engine, with "Easy Dock" bow and stern thruster.
She is sporty and low maintenance adding to the joy in ownership and her design holds on to her classic Maine up bringing.
