37′ Hinckley 2009

What sets this hull apart

– Hull No. 2. A first-year example of the 37 MKIII — the most successful new model Hinckley ever launched, and an early, significant hull in the lineage of America’s most iconic daycruiser.

– The Yanmar repower. Repowered with twin Yanmar 8LV-370 V8 diesels (approx. 800 hrs) — not merely more power than the standard twin Volvo 300s, but the exact package Hinckley later adopted and markets as the best-driving Picnic Boat ever built. Fresh turbochargers fitted October 2025.

– Docking, mastered. JetStick 2 joystick control plus a wireless Yacht Controller — believed to be the only Picnic Boat 37 so equipped. Berth her single-handed from anywhere on deck, remote in hand.

PROPULSION & PERFORMANCE

Twin Yanmar 8LV-370, twin waterjets

– Twin Hamilton waterjets — mounted above the keel and protected from grounding; no exposed running gear.

– JetStick 2 with HoverLock virtual anchoring and heading hold, plus a wireless Yacht Controller.

– Performance: approximately 32 knots cruise and a top end in the mid-30s; just over two feet of draft.

– Recently serviced at Hinckley Yacht Service, Stuart FL (October 2025, new turbochargers); waterjets scheduled for service June 2026.

ACCOMMODATION & LIVING

A day boat with a weekend in her

Hinckley’s signature woodwork throughout — satin-varnished cherry, varnished-teak soles, and a calm, handcrafted feel no one else quite matches. All brightwork varnish was renewed in March 2026.

Pilothouse & Cockpit

Facing settees with a drop-leaf table under the hardtop and a pair of Stidd helm chairs that swivel to face aft, in refit ultrasuede upholstery. A new polycarbonate enclosure extends the season, and electrically operated overhead hatches bring in light and air. One step down, the open cockpit offers fore- and aft-facing seating and a transom door to the swim platform, with new teak decking in both the pilothouse and cockpit.

Cabin, Galley & Head

A forward V-berth cabin finished in varnished cherry makes a comfortable retreat for an overnight or a weekend away. The galley sits to port off the companionway and a private head to starboard, fitted with a new Tecma electric toilet. Generator (recently replaced, low hours) and air conditioning provide comfort at anchor.
