Endeavour 37 Buyer's Guide
The Endeavour 37 is a 1977–1983 production cruiser from Endeavour Yacht Corp., with about 476 sloop, cutter, and ketch hulls built on a solid fiberglass shoal-draft platform. She appeals to buyers who want a heavily built liveaboard with teak interiors and simple rigging rather than a quick upwind racer, and the used Endeavour 37s spread across several Americas cruising grounds.
Layouts on the Used Market
Two original arrangement plans plus a later Plan-C reached the used market. Plan-A trades the forward berths for a large U-shaped dinette and keeps sail and chain stowage in a divided forepeak, while Plan-B is the conventional V-berth-forward layout with a port quarter cabin and a pilot berth most owners converted to stowage. Plan-C removes the chart table from Plan-A to make the aft cabin private. Both main plans sleep six or more with 6-foot 3-inch headroom and a teak parquet sole. Buyers over six feet should note the forward berths run short, and the aft cabin is widely described as cramped.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market these boats often carry a dodger, bimini, dinghy davits, spinnaker, and chartplotter, with heating also frequently fitted. A short-handed setup, autopilot, AIS, air conditioning, freezer, and hot water appear as less common owner upgrades. For a shopper, the canvas cluster means cockpit weather protection is usually in place, while the occasional autopilot and AIS reflect varying passage readiness rather than standard factory spec. The Perkins 4-108 diesel and Warner gearbox remain the baseline mechanical package regardless of electronics.
What to Inspect
Gelcoat crazing is common across these hulls and should be read as cosmetic but worth photographing for negotiation. Check the through-hull fittings for original gate valves, which some owners replaced with sea cocks — any remaining gate valves are a known weakness anchor. Plastic Vetus hatches are prone to crazing and dripping, so open and flex each one for cracks and trace any staining below. The Isomat mast can pump, so shake the spar and watch the partners for movement. Confirm whether the refrigeration was converted from side-loading to top-loading, since original side-loaders were a problem area. Verify the boat sits level, as water and holding tank placement caused listing on some examples, and test the V-berths for length if you are tall.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats turn up in the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, and Canada.
- Check gate valves on through-hulls and plan sea-cock upgrades
- Open every Vetus hatch for craze lines and drip trails
- Confirm mast partner tightness to rule out spar pumping
- Measure forward berths if over six feet tall
- Verify level stance for tank-driven listing
