2004 True North 38

The 2004 True North 38 is a downeast-style cruiser built by Pearson Composites with a fiberglass hull and distinctive reverse transom. A single Yanmar 440 hp diesel engine provides dependable power and fuel efficiency for coastal and inland cruising. The boat measures 38 feet in length with a 13.5-foot beam.

The design balances open and protected spaces with an open cockpit and pilothouse that can be enclosed with canvas and eisenglass. The interior includes a forward stateroom with a double berth and a head with separate shower. A spacious swim platform, transom door, and generous storage space accommodate kayaks, paddleboards, and fishing gear.

The hull design and shallow draft make the boat responsive and well-suited to varied cruising grounds. The engine was repowered in 2014.
