Manufacturer Provided Description

The True North 38 has plenty of room for friends and family. We designed a dinette area that could be expanded when needed, and not take up too much space when just a few people were onboard. Its innovative, sliding seat arrangement expands seating from four to six people and easily converts into a double berth for overnight guestsEasy entertaining was also high on everyone's list, so we kept the galley up, near the cockpit. Thirsty, hungry crew can step up to the counter without worrying about wet bathing suits or sandy feet. With over 90 square feet of cockpit space, and wide deck seating, there's room for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. Of course, all this extra room is no fun if you're busy maintaining and xing things. So everything about the True North 38 is designed to keep things simple. You'll nd no extra uff and frills, just the things you need to enjoy your experience on the water, all at an aordable price.
