Express 37 - Major Updates

Experience the Express 37, a well-regarded performance cruiser known for its responsive sailing and efficient design. This hull (#26) features a fin keel, tiller steering, and an upgraded carbon elliptical rudder.

This boat stands out with several high-value recent upgrades: the Yanmar 2GMF diesel was completely rebuilt in 2023 (including transmission, approx. 20 hours since, ~$25k investment), standing rigging was replaced with rod rigging (~2 years ago, ~$10k), and a Quantum mainsail was added in 2023 with minimal use.

The boat is priced accordingly and represents a project opportunity. Interior finishes are worn, with known deck core issues (side decks and aft deck) and leaking ports/windows. For a buyer willing to address these areas, the major systems and sail inventory provide a strong foundation.
