This 2001 Hinckley Picnic Boat 36 Classic is built on a composite hull featuring a Kevlar and E-glass hybrid outer skin with carbon fiber reinforcement, constructed using the SCRIMP infusion process. Powered by a Yanmar 6LY2-STP 440-horsepower diesel engine with fewer than 500 hours of operation, the boat reaches a cruising speed of 25 knots and a maximum speed of 29 knots. It is equipped with a Hamilton 292 waterjet propulsion system, a Gen 3 IQAN Hinckley JetStick 1.5 steering control, and a Vetus bow thruster integrated into the steering system.
The pilothouse and cockpit combine classic design with modern convenience. The helm features a Stidd chair with navy Ultraleather upholstery and varnished teak ladderback, paired with new Garmin 8616xsv chartplotter, Garmin 115 VHF radio, Garmin XHD 18 radar, and Raymarine autopilot. The cockpit includes ample forward-facing seating, a varnished teak sole and table, a shower with hot and cold water, a Fusion Bluetooth stereo with six speakers throughout the boat, and a comprehensive custom Stamoid cover system protecting brightwork and reducing maintenance.
The interior accommodates four berths with a V-berth forward, galley to port with a custom Corian countertop and two-burner propane stove, and head to starboard with marine toilet and shower. Throughout the boat, varnished teak and cherry cabinetry, Ralph Lauren fabric upholstery, and Ultrasuede cushions define the appointments. Recent work in 2025 included a complete refinish of brightwork with Epifanes varnish, new oversized pilothouse headliner, fresh cabling and software for the JetStick system, a new hot water heater, upgraded house and starter batteries, new galley and head faucets, and an engine refresh.
Mechanical systems include twin 83-gallon fuel tanks, a 35-gallon fresh water tank, and a Muir electric windlass with deck control. The electrical system runs on two new 2026 Group 4D AGM batteries, a Xantrex Freedom Inverter/Charger, and single 30-amp shore power. The boat carries a 22-pound Delta anchor with 150 feet of rode, complete dock lines, fenders, and lifejackets.
