    We're considering an Ericson 38 as our next boat.

    We have a 1986 38-200. We have the 6'6" keel and engine under the sink. Livaboard most weekends with wife and dog. I'm 6'4" tall and love the headroom of the 38 as well as the length of the beds. Great club racer. Jeff Sedlack Royal Wave 1986 38-200
