1987 Wilbur 38

This 1987 Wilbur 38 is a Downeast cruiser built by Lee S. Wilbur & Co. in Southwest Harbor, Maine. The fiberglass hull displays the classic Maine lobster yacht profile paired with modern cruising comfort. She's powered by a Volvo TAMD63L 318 horsepower diesel engine, repowered in 2004 with approximately 1,500 hours on the rebuilt unit. At a cruising speed of 11 knots with a top speed of 14 knots, the boat performs as a capable coastal vessel.

The interior centers on a comfortable salon opening to a well-appointed galley. Forward is a private stateroom, while an enclosed head with shower serves the accommodation. The layout balances living space with practical cruising efficiency. Notable system upgrades include a Vetus bow thruster installed in 2019, Webasto 16,000 BTU air conditioning added in 2020, and a new Lewmar windlass.

The engine room is clean and well-organized, with all systems routinely serviced. Topsides are Awlgripped, and the interior is bright and inviting. The boat represents solid fiberglass construction characteristic of Wilbur's reputation for seaworthiness and quiet operation.
