Dan Wood
The opportunity to own a modern classic built by Van Dam Custom Boats can now be yours. The 38’ sedan cruiser currently known as “HOW SWEDE IT IS” has just gone on the market and is available for immediate purchase. This is an excellent opportunity to own a boat of the highest quality and avoid the company’s 3 year back-log. Van Dam’s quality & fit and finish are second to none in the marine industry and HOW SWEDE IT IS shows that quality.
This boat was built in 2003 at the Van Dam Custom Boats facility in Boyne City, MI, but received a major refit in 2021. New bottom paint, new paint on the non-skid walkaround and deck, as well as the hardtop. The Honduran mahogany band was completely sanded to raw wood before receiving a new stain & clear coat. New cushions in the cockpit to go along with the removable cockpit table as well as the removable sun shade offers great flexibility outside. New swim platform and FreedomLift, new cushions in the cabin, new mast and radar arch, new batteries. Twin Yanmar turbo diesels with 440HP each push this 16,500lbs vessel to a top speed of 44 MPH, and cruise of 35 MPH these engines have just over 400 hours on them.
This boat was given a complete inspection and refit by the same crew members that built her in 2003. A 3rd party inspection was completed after the refit by a SAMS accredited marine surveyor and is available. She is turn key and in excellent condition for her next owner.
Boat also comes with a 4 axle trailer.
