Cash buyer seriously searching for an Ericson 38 200 (1986 - 1990) in good condition or better. Probably should be no further west than Lake Michigan. Roger Ware, Kingston, ON.
WANTED: Ericson 38 200
- Thread starter Roger Ware
- Start date
Hey there,
There's an absolutely drop-dead E38-200, 1988 here in my neck of the woods. I just took a look at it myself and was totally envious! I met the owner at the yard where she was having the bottom repainted about two weeks ago. He's a really nice guy who knows his stuff. The boat is being offered through a broker, Ventura Yacht Sales. They're online.
Though too far to travel, you shold use this one to measure all others by.
Good luck.

Roger;
We went through same situation 1 1/2 yrs ago looking for an E34. Found 1 for sale in Great Lakes and after we made an offer, it was removed from market. Ended up buying a boat outside Atlanta, Ga. and had it trucked to Michigan. Otherwise we'd still be looking. I haven't checked out the brokers lately, but I wouldn't rule out the trucking option too quickly, especially if you are interested in this particular boat as we were. Ericson's aren't real common in the Great Lakes area. We had found several boats on the coasts (east & west) but not in the Lakes. The 38-200 is an excellent boat and I can understand why you want one. As I recall, it was about $2.50 per mile for the marine hauler, which included all load permits, etc. Good luck in your search and keep us posted on your progress.
Good luck & sail fast

I have looked at this on yachtworld, and even spoken to the broker. Trucking a 38 to Ontario would be around US$4,000, perhaps 5,000. But you are right, it sets a standard. Cheers, Roger.
