We just put a down on a Uniflite 37 Coastal Cruiser. Twin Lehmans. finally came to the dark side after 40 years of sailing.

They say no, it was built after they quit using the brand of fire retardant that was the cause. She will be surveyed on the 2nd of Feb.

We have had 2 great cruising seasons with her, Hoping for many more. we find her very comfortable and seaworthy. she averages about 3 gph, combined, running about 1900 rpm. the survey went well, we had Mischief Maker trucked to Olympia from Portland. she fits us well. we just had the bottom painted, Zincs, etc, hull looks great. installed an external thruster while hauled. the only challenge has been getting into some slips on windy days, as the bow wants to blow off. Hence the thruster. we get a lot of nice feedback from other boaters on her lines. Only drawback is since I do my own mechanical, the engine access to the outside of the engines is restricted.Hi Harold, had sent a reply to your earlier thread on new to Seattle and now found you have had success.
The 37 CC lines and layout fit well in my plans also in making the mental adjustment over to power.
I am really interested in how your survey went and if purchased you now have a few NM cruzin and gunkholin with Mischief.
Care to share your insights and thoughts now?

I talked to the previous owners, they want her back if we sell her. That will be quite a ways down the road, I hope.
