E-38 Kismet for Sale

Captron · Apr 15, 2009

It's killing us but economic circumstances force us to put Kismet up for sale. This is the first and only place I'll list for a while since I'd like to place her with someone serious about owning a great boat. After a few weeks I guess we'll have to list her with a broker.

She's a 1983 E-38 4'11" draft model with traditional interior. She's located in New Port Richey Florida (near Tarpon Springs just north of the St Pete area on the Gulf Coast.) I'm asking $59k. I will provide her extensive equipment list on request.

With a serious offer, I will also provide cruising and maintenance logs since we've owned her.

Sorry to hear that Ron - as a former Ericson 38 owner who also lost his E38 due to economic circumstances I can sure as hell imagine what it must feel like. Let's hope Kismet quickly finds a new home with somone who will appreciate all that you've done to outfit her for your many cruises in the Bahamas.

All the best.

KIsmet Equipment List

Steve, Thanks for the kind words. She's not just another boat to us. Selling her means the end of our cruising days. I'm now 63 and can't find a job to help support her. It seems unlikely that we'll ever own such a fine craft again...just crying in my beer.
