38 Convertible

An updated version of Egg Harbor’s previous 38-foot convertible (1990–94), the new Egg 38 incorporates more contemporary styling features than her predecessor while retaining the same interior layouts and hull specifications. Built on a solid fiberglass hull with a wide 15-foot beam, this is a big 38-footer on the inside with more salon space than convertibles her size. Most were delivered with a two-stateroom interior although a single-stateroom, dinette floorplan was available. Either way, the Egg’s solid mahogany (or teak) woodwork is finished to exacting standards. The serving counter (with bar stools) in both layouts is an attractive feature, as is the teak and holly flooring in the step-down galley. Eliminating the original 38’s front windshield provides space for a salon entertainment center. The cockpit came standard with a molded tackle center, port and starboard storage cabinets, macerated fish box, fresh and raw water washdowns, and transom door. With her wide beam, engine room access is better than most. Among several engine choices, 420hp 3126 Cats cruise at 25 knots (about 30 top). Older models with 485hp GMs will run close to the same speeds.
