2021 Intrepid 438 Evolution

The 2021 Intrepid 438 Evolution is a 43-foot fiberglass cuddy cabin powered by triple Mercury engines totaling 1,350 horsepower. The triple-engine configuration maximizes open cockpit space ideal for fishing and entertaining, with dual dive platforms and boarding ladders on either side, a signature lift-up dive door, and optional folding rear seat. Storage compartments above deck keep gear accessible without encroaching on the working cockpit, and integrated bow steps provide safe passage to the foredeck. A Seakeeper stabilization system and 11kW generator support extended cruising and comfort.

The cabin layout centers on a master stateroom with queen berth, hanging locker, nightstand, and storage drawers. A separate head features a shower with built-in seat, natural lighting, and ventilation. The galley is fully equipped with solid-surface countertops, microwave, sink, and optional single-burner stovetop; a multifunctional cabinet houses the AC panel and refrigeration units configurable as two refrigerators or one refrigerator and one freezer. A forward settee converts to an additional berth with the help of a Hi-Lo table and filler cushion. Large hull-side windows with dual privacy shades flood the interior with natural light, while recessed LED lighting throughout adds modern visibility and ambiance.

Design prioritizes easy maintenance with mechanical access hatches to the transom rigging, pumps, and a dedicated generator compartment. Ample overhead storage in the forward cabin maximizes space. The foredeck remains clean with the anchor windlass concealed under a hatch; the system includes 300 feet of line, 20 feet of chain, and a stainless steel claw anchor. Water capacity is 100 gallons, and shore power runs at 230V/60Hz/50amp with ELCI protection.

Additional features include air conditioning, automatic bilge pumps, high-gloss urethane finish in bilges, heavy-duty rub rail, carbon monoxide detector, fire suppression system for the generator, and high-water alarm. The helm seat offers flip-up bolsters and footrests. Non-skid decking, stainless steel thru-hull fittings above the waterline, marine-grade tinned copper wiring, and zinc anodes round out the specification.
