1992 Munson 38’ Aluminum Commercial Dive

This is a 1992 Munson 38-foot aluminum commercial dive boat built for serious offshore work. The hull is welded aluminum construction—Munson's signature overbuilt approach—and the boat was established as a working platform in Puget Sound before its current offering. A John Deere 6081 engine delivering 330 horsepower serves as the main propulsion, backed by a Cummins 4B auxiliary engine for redundancy. The Twin Disc reduction gear and complete steering system were both replaced recently, in 2024 and 2025 respectively, addressing two of the most significant mechanical components potential operators consider.

The working layout is designed for utility and flexibility. An enclosed aluminum wheelhouse provides protected visibility for navigation and control. The main deck is open and uncluttered aluminum suitable for handling cargo or rigging dive equipment. Below deck, an insulated refrigerated hold adds commercial capacity for stores or catches. Hydraulic machinery includes a Kolstrand anchor winch, topping winch with boom lift, and a suite of deck winches and davits—all typical of professional-grade commercial vessels. An aluminum mast and cargo boom support cargo handling, while an A-frame with stabilizers accommodates diving operations.

Interior accommodations consist of forward berth space, a galley with sink and refrigeration, and a heated dry suit locker. Navigation and positioning equipment includes Furuno radar, Garmin GPS chartplotter, Koden echo sounder, and Nobeltec software. The electrical system runs 12-volt DC with shore power and battery charging capability. Safety gear includes life raft, EPIRB, survival suits, and PFDs. Fuel capacity is 615 gallons, fresh water 170 gallons, supporting extended offshore work or commercial operations including dive work, marine construction, survey, or utility deployment.
