Merry Maker is in excellent condition throughout and is truly turn-key ready.
The J 37C is equally comfortable cruising or club racing. Different than the racing J 37 with the engine over the keel and a minimalist interior, the J 37C has the engine under the cockpit and is designed with more of a cruising bent.
This is an awesome all around boat with J Boat pedigree. Just a few of her attributes are: roomy cockpit, wide side decks, spacious cabin, large opening windows, polished aluminum hatches, dodger and bimini, large forward stateroom, separate aft cabin, big comfy salon with drop leaf table, great galley, practical chart table, Webasto forced air furnace, refrigeration, high output alternator/regulator, and the list goes on. Recent upgrades to her electronics, engine exhaust, standing rigging, rudder bearing, roller furling, Dyneema lifelines, LED lighting, electric windlass and anchoring system have further improved this already awesome vessel.
I have had the pleasure of knowing, maintaining and sailing aboard this vessel with her current and two previous owners for over 25 years. We have cruised and rafted in many local harbors and I've spent plenty of time looking at her transom from my boat during our local races. All of her four owners have lavished her with the attention she deserves. She has had constant maintenance and upgrading, and it shows. Her original gelcoat has been waxed every year and it has the gloss of a new boat, the bilges are dry and clean, and the engine runs like new.
So, If you've been looking for a solid performance cruiser that'll take you anywhere in safety and comfort, right now, you've found it. Lying Gig Harbor.
