1992 Munson 38' Aluminum Commercial Dive & Utility Vessel
"THE EDGE"
Now Offered at $150,000
If you've been waiting for a proven Pacific Northwest aluminum workboat that is already set up, already upgraded, and priced well below replacement cost - this is it.
The Edge is a purpose-built Munson commercial vessel with a long working history in Puget Sound as a professional dive and utility platform. Munson's reputation for overbuilt, no-nonsense aluminum construction is well earned, and this boat shows exactly why these hulls are so sought after.
What makes The Edge stand out today is simple: the hard, expensive work has already been done.
A new Twin Disc reduction gear (2024) and a complete steering system replacement (2025) remove two of the biggest unknowns buyers worry about on commercial vessels. This is a boat you can put to work immediately, not a project.
The layout is exceptionally practical - a protected wheelhouse with excellent visibility, a wide open aluminum working deck, heavy-duty deck machinery, and an insulated refrigerated hold that adds real commercial flexibility. Whether your operation involves diving, marine construction, survey work, or owner-operator utility use, this platform adapts easily.
Powered by a reliable John Deere 6081 (330 HP) with a Cummins 4B auxiliary, the vessel delivers dependable propulsion with redundancy - exactly what professional operators want offshore or on long workdays.
With fuel capacity, deck gear, dive systems, and safety equipment already in place, The Edge represents an increasingly rare opportunity to buy a legitimate commercial-grade aluminum vessel at a price point that makes sense in today's market.
Seller is motivated. Boat is priced to move.
