Fountaine Pajot Maryland 37 2002

The Maryland 37 has a long cruising range and a hull form that provides exceptional seagoing qualities. This type of trawler enables one to cover 1000 nautical miles at nine knots. Her two hulls and two engines provide great stability for anchoring and ease of maneuvering, allowing the Maryland to evolve in small spaces. The Maryland 37 has an large saloon with a cabinetwork table for six to eight people which can be converted into a double bed. The galley is designed with a large worktop, a cabinetwork bar, and a cockpit with a panoramic view. The two beautiful cabins have private showers and toilets. On deck there are two aft platforms, with a ladder and a cold water shower on the port side. The flybridge has a complete pilotage console.

With walk-thru access from both side decks, as well as from the large sliding patio door to the main saloon, the aft deck is a functional and enjoyable area of the boat. Spacious enough for a set of patio chairs, or simply left uncluttered, the aft deck where you are sure to spend a good amount of time either underway or at anchor. With little effort, you can install the full-screen enclosure for protection from the sun and mosquitos!

One of the best features of this boat is her upgraded Yanmar 4LHA-STP 240HP diesel engines installed new in 2008. These engines were professionally installed and have been recently serviced. New mufflers, exhaust hoses, and ports were changed out in 2016, the shaft seals and bellows replaced in 2017, and the propellers and shafts tuned in 2017.
