Description

Mer-Sea is certainly one of the nicest Sabre 38s to come on the market. Low hours (532) and very nicely equipped, she has been maintained to an exceptional degree both cosmetically and mechanically. In the off season for the last 5 years the boat has been stored indoors at Petzold's Marine Center, the Sabre dealer for Connecticut and Western Rhode Island, which has seen to Mer-Sea's needs.

Mer-Sea also has a new dinghy, outboard and Hurley H30 manual dinghy management system

The owners have enjoyed her, cruising in local Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound, with the family. They are only ready to let her go to a new owner because they'd like a larger Sabre to do more extensive cruising.

The highlights include:

  • Very modest hours on her Volvo engines and IPS drives with no issues
  • Volvo system includes: DPS, Docking Mode, Low Speed Mode, Trip Computer and Active Corrosion Protection (ACP)
  • Annual maintenance done by Petzold's Marine, a Sabre and Volvo certified dealer.
  • Props tuned, reconditioned and balanced
  • New batteries
  • New inverter/charger
  • Complete servicing of Koehler generator
  • Cleaned and serviced coolers and heat exchangers
  • New (2024) dinghy, outboard and Hurley davit
  • New Fusion radio

Mer-Sea must be seen to be appreciated. She is immaculate and shows like a new boat...
