Beancounter:

I used to work for a former Ericson dealer and I sold a few used Ericsons.
The Ericson 38 is a great boat. It sails extremely well. There were three
different cabin layouts. The later one- built in the late 80s is the best
IMHO.

But if you can find a Pacific Seacraft built Ericson 38, they are the best
of all- better hardware and (I think) better build quality. PS built
Ericsons in the late 80s and into the early 90s. Check out the PS website
for some info on their Ericsons.
