Ericson 38 - 2nd Time Around

Boat/US Magazine, May, 2002 by Jack Hornor

Although a recent model Ericson 38 will now set you back about $200,000, these are popular boats on the used boat market and prices are generally reasonable compared to similar quality and sized boats. I was recently able to locate 10 Ericson 38s offered for sale along the East Coast ranging from a 1983 model offered at $62,900 to a 1993 model offered at $159,000. This is quite a range that could fit the bill for a wide range of boat buyers looking for a boat of this size that seems to do just about everything well.
