1978 Bruno & Stillman Custom Cruiser/Sportfisherman

This 35-foot Bruno & Stillman custom cruiser-sportfisherman combines capable offshore design with practical cruising accommodations. Built with a balsa-cored fiberglass hull featuring a full keel and round chines, the boat was finished by Tuff Tug and carries a jade green hull with white boottop and red bottom. The fiberglass superstructure includes a pilothouse with multiple windows and side doors, plus a removable aluminum tower suited for fishing. A 2021 hydraulic Sea Star dual helm steering system and 12V EZ windlass support easy handling.

The interior sleeps five across three cabins: a forward vee berth cabin with head, a pilothouse helm berth, and an aft dinette that converts to a double. The galley features a Kenyon LPG stove with oven and a 12V/110V propane refrigerator. Sole materials include bamboo in the pilothouse and birch aft, with whitewashed Siberian larch cabin trunk sides. A 2023 LPG Force 10 heater maintains comfort, and a Kumma 6-gallon hot water heater serves the system. The spacious aft cockpit features a full-width transom seat with dark green Sunbrella cushions.

Power comes from an approximately 2010 Yammer 4LHA-STE diesel engine producing 226 horsepower, with roughly 2,210 hours on the original installation. The engine drives through a Borg Warner Velvet Drive transmission and 1 1/4-inch stainless steel shaft fitted with a 2024 Nautilus four-blade prop. Cruising speed reaches 14 knots at 2600 RPM, with a maximum of 15.2 knots at 2900 RPM. Fuel capacity is 80 gallons across two aluminum tanks, water storage 40 gallons.

Recent improvements include deck reglassing and Sea-dek installation in 2016, complete vessel rewiring in 2019, new batteries in 2023, a replaced turbo in 2019, and 2021 upgrades to radar, GPS chartplotter, and autopilot. Electronics integration through NEMA 2000 cabling connects Garmin navigation instruments, supported by an ICOM VHF and Ritchie compass. The deck carries a Fortress FX23 anchor with 150 feet of rode.
