[38 Henriques 2000 - $229k]

Hi guys,

Im moving on up! I am putting my 38 Henriques on the market as I would like to get into a 2-3 SR convertible to accommodate some longer trips in better comfort.

Quick rundown:

Asking price of $229,500

38' LOA

13'10" Beam

4' Draft

Twin 420 Yanmar 6cx-ete motors (2900 hrs)

7.5kw Westerbeke genset (630 hrs)

23 kt cruise @ 34 gph, range of 360 nm.

This boat is fish rigged better than any other 38 Henriques on the market, and has been updated continuously while I have owned it. Im not going to spout on about an "open checkbook" policy, because that is pretty much BS. I can say that although the boat has been fished regularly, it has been maintained and improved while doing so. Upgrades include:

New center rigger 2011

4 rod Arrigoni Rocket Launcher 2011

New Simrad NSE electronics package 2011

New AC pump and motor 2012

New salon cabinetry and TV/DVD combo 2011

New Polycarbonate enclosure with rear strata glass 2012

New cockpit combing pads and helm seating 2012

Reupholstered Stidd Helm seats 2013

Rebuilt ZF electronic controls 2012 ( servo motors are belt driven with tiny belts; guess what breaks?? extra belt kits are with boat for future needs)

Custom rod storage

custom mounted shark/tuna/billfish magnets with remote helm switching

All livewell/freshwater/washdown pumps replaced 2012

New barrier coat and bottom job done 2007

Head rebuilt 2013

Electronics package includes:

Simrad NSE 12 and 8 MFDs

Simrad 64nm 6kw Radar

Simrad BSM-1 Sounder module

Simrad WX Siruis weather/radio module

Simrad AP-22 Autopilot

SH GX2150 AIS VHF radios w/ new 17' antennas (2)

Clarion Stereo

Wiring to receive NSE display on Salon TV

Engines have been yard serviced and have received regular maintenance as required by yanmar, including:

New injectors 2500 hrs.

New heat exchangers 2008

turbos cleaned 2009 and 2012

All filters and oil changed/checked at regular intervals.

Boat needs very little to be 100%, and was just recently hauled for the season. About as turnkey of a fishing machine as you can get.

Check out my yachtworld listing for the boat HERE.

Offers encouraged, and thanks for taking a look!

Kinda tosses up a red flag if you ask me...

[My sweet Bayliner]

Oh give it a rest... Keep your pandering over on THT.

[Grilling On Board]

I have the round magma in the rodholder as well. Its a nice little setup, but same as above, I should have sprung for the larger one. All in all, its a great thing to have on board.

[Blowboaters]

What was the old joke??

A Blow boater goes on vacation with a $20 bill and one pair of underwear; and doesn't change either one....

[Tow Line]

Agree with everything that has been posted. As the tow, you should toss your line to the "salvor". Also, don't worry about a dedicated line, as posted above, your anchor rode (assuming you have the proper size) will be enough to tow you in calm to moderate seas (for open water, pay out your entire rode, shorten as you come inshore). I doubt you will part the line in all but a really bad sea.

[Life Raft Service]

LRSE is indeed the servicer but my main point was to take an active interest in the servicing of a vital piece of safety equipment.

While I said I am skeptical, it certainy could be that the thing just got to a point where it began to fall apart. Without being involved, there is no way of knowing.

My other concern is that all you get is a 3 page testing checklist. It passed. No comments. No recommendations. I think most people would appreciate a heads up with some kind of commentary about it "getting old", "think about replacement" or that they usually last x number of years. Never having had one before, how would I know?

I would have to agree with you. If they called me and said my raft was NG, I would certainly want to be there to SEE what was wrong, and/or what the reasoning was to condemn the raft. And disposal?? No way, give it back to me and I'll use it as a pool toy; I'm not paying for disposal.

Just not right

[Penn Intl. 80]

I still use the 80's for bigeye and bluefin up here... If you guys are looking to unload them, give me a call and lets talk price! They would make a good planar reel, up to say a 16 or 24 oz. planar. for a kite rod, its alot of overkill.

[Want to share your Dolphin tactics?]

I would like to hijack for a moment if I could. One of my goals this summer is to get a few mahi on the fly, while fishing the lobster pots out here in the NE canyons. Anyone have any favorite flies that you turn to for this??

[Life Raft Service]

I am assuming that you got your service done at LRSE down in Portsmouth, RI. They are a good company, but they are one of the highest priced shops around. If you are here in NE, I would suggest going to Westerbeke Marine in East Boston. They are a commercial outfit, and have prices much more reasonable. I saved about 30% and they can make repairs and work with what you have.

Best of Luck,

Ryan

[When do you launch?]

I was planning on this weekend, but when I was cleaning and painting the bottom the other week, I came across two Dings in my Stbd. Prop With a bit of convincing, I got a guy to fix them this week and have them back Friday, soooo... we are looking the week of the 13th to be in, give or take...

[Maritime type sayings-Post Yours]

I was on the news a few years back, when they were reporting on a Noreaster blowing through... Absent-mindedly, when the reporter asked me what precautions we were taking, I actually said "Well, we are just tightening up the lines and Battening down the hatches..." I actually was caught on tape...

[Anchoring "Technique"????????]

It's not just a folley of the unexperienced... Capt. Marty of the Xiao Mu Ji passed away in the fall after his rode tangled on him and pulled him under... Very sad case, and he was a Fine Captain with a lot of Experience... Freak accidents can happen.

[help with Downriggers]

Sadly, the electric reels, or at least the Good ones, may run you more than the downriggers...

[Sirius Antenna]

Just a quick derailment here.... Does anyone know what the proper, or preferred, antenna would be to mate with a Clarion stereo??

[Thanks Wiley and RI Builder]

Auguste,

How the hell did you get to 51 posts already?? You are well on your way to being the posting whore here too!!

Hahahaha

[New England Salt Water Fishing Show]

I'm going to head over. Just another way to shake off the dust from the winter. I know I have to get down to the boat to paint and start waxing, but maybe Fri or sat evening at least.

[Introductions]

HI, My name is Ryan, I'm 29 and keep my boat down in Jerusalem. Own the boat with my father, and over the past 3 years we have gotten the offshore bite pretty bad to say the least. We have a 38' Henriques named "Knot Reel Teeth". Be sure to drop me a line if you are in the area, I'm on the water at least Fri-Sun every weekend.
