1978 Fisher 38 Trawler

The Fisher 38 is a 1978 trawler built in England to exacting standards and substantially upgraded over the past five years. With two Sabre Lehman diesel engines producing 240 horsepower, the boat cruises at 8 knots and is designed for both extended passagemaking and coastal work. The hull spans 38 feet in length with a 13-foot beam, offering a high freeboard, protected decks, and a large pilothouse suited to short-handed operation.

The interior features a forward V-berth with a centerline queen, a separate enclosed guest cabin, a spacious galley with generous counter and storage, and a large salon with multiple windows. A full-size shower stall is fitted, and the accommodations have been extensively refinished and customized throughout by the current owner, a skilled woodworker who has added custom wood inlays and trim pieces.

The boat has received significant maintenance and upgrades including complete rewiring, new steering pumps, new heat exchangers, a factory-rebuilt windlass with full service, new teak cap rails, and a generator upper end rebuild with new exhaust components. The twin diesel engines are noted as exceptionally clean and straightforward to maintain, with readily available parts. Included are a Mercury RIB with a 20-horsepower Mercury outboard mounted on a SeaWise davit system, and a 10-foot rowing dinghy on the roof with its own launch crane.
