This 2014 Hinckley Picnic Boat 37 MKIII combines solid construction with purposeful design for capable coastal cruising. Built with Hinckley's DualGuard composite construction—a Kevlar and E-glass hybrid outer skin bonded with carbon fiber inner layers—the hull is painted forest green with a red Micron bottom and white gel coat deck. Twin Yanmar 8LV engines deliver 370 horsepower each, driving Hamilton jet drives for responsive handling across a range of water conditions. The boat cruises efficiently at 35 knots with a maximum speed of 37 knots. The JetStick II control system integrates steering, throttle, and bow thruster into a single joystick for intuitive maneuvering.
The pilothouse prioritizes visibility and comfort with two large fixed forward windows, powered side windows, and two powered overhead hatches. Inside, a Stidd helm seat and opposing Sunbrella settees face forward, with a removable teak table between them. The teak package extends throughout—instrument pod, dash, and pilothouse side liners—while stainless steel and cherry accents complete the interior. A Raymarine e165 hybrid chartplotter with 18-inch 2-kW radar, P70R autopilot, and Standard Horizon VHF provide navigation and communication.
Below, cherry cabinetry and teak cabin sole define the accommodations. A forward queen berth with storage lockers, a galley with electric cooktop and Sea Frost refrigeration to port, and a head with shower to starboard complete the layout. Air conditioning in the V-berth and additional 12,000 BTU units in the pilothouse manage climate control. Power comes from a 9-kW Onan generator, dual alternators, and substantial battery banks supporting both 12-volt and 220-volt systems.
Recent work includes full jet service and bottom paint completed in May 2026. The generator runs only 65 hours as of April 2026. Equipment includes a Muir electric windlass with stainless steel anchor and rode, cockpit shower, swim platform with telescoping ladder, and comprehensive safety systems including triple bilge pumps and automatic engine compartment fire suppression.
