Overview

Construction

A rugged, solid fiberglass deep V-hull with propellor pockets. Like all Phoenix designs the 38 is constructed with a full-length, one piece molded fiberglass inner liner that shapes the boat's interior and greatly strengthens the hull. It extends all the way from the chain locker bulkhead back to the transom. It forms all the sole levels throughout the boat, extends up the hullsides to the shear and includes all hatch and bulkhead receivers, berth platforms, shower pan and the head compartment base. Once this liner has been bonded with the hullsides and the fore and aft engine room bulkheads it creates an incredibly strong structure. An added advantage is the liner also provides a completely finished, low maintenance interior appearance.

Interior

Enter the salon through the sliding glass the stylish salon has a pilot chair to port and starboard side L-shaped convertible settee with an electronics cabinet further forward . A unique angled breakfast bar separates the salon from the portside galley which is one step below the salon. Going forward, down two steps there is the guest stateroom with over/under berths with storage drawers and a hanging locker. Opposite to starboard is the head compartment with marine toilet, vanity and a stall shower. Further forward is the owner's stateroom with a large double berth to port, a starboard side vanity, hanging locker and numerus storage compartments and drawers, Overhead are numerous rod racks. The cabin soles and walls throughout the interior are low maintenance, off-white fiberglass of the boat's one piece molded inner liner which extends from the transom all the way to the forward rope locker. An impressive piece of engineering.

Exterior

The great looking, solidly built Phoenix 38 is a practical, well thought out design. The large 110 sq ft cockpit has a walk-thru transom door and gate, two 6 foot long in-deck fishboxes, live well, fresh and raw water washdowns and a bait prep station. There is a pair of Lee double spreader outriggers. A cockpit hatch provides direct engine room access. Going forward the side decks are a minimum of 14" wide with double bow rails with welded fender holders. A rugged welded cockpit ladder provides safe access to the flybridge which has seating for 6 people and the helm positioned aft provides the helmsman with unobstructed views of the cockpit. The flybridge has a fiberglass hardtop and a recent full enclosure.
