1985 Magnum 38 Sport Cruiser

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how solid everything feels—thick hull, deep freeboard, and hardware that was clearly spec’d to work for a living, not just to look pretty at the dock. The Magnum’s lines are classic offshore, with a long, lean profile that still turns heads when you throttle up. Inside, the cabin offers far more headroom than most performance hulls of this era, with a practical layout that makes weekend overnights surprisingly comfortable. The wide side decks and secure railings make line handling easy, and visibility from the upper helm gives you a commanding view when threading busy channels or setting up for a perfect sunset cruise.

This 38-footer is particularly well suited to big, busy inland waterways where conditions can change quickly. The deep‑V Magnum hull is built to slice through stacked-up wakes from larger yachts and rental traffic, keeping the ride dry and confident when afternoon chop kicks up. With its generous cockpit and upper station, guests can spread out and enjoy the scenery while the skipper maintains an excellent vantage point for navigating no‑wake zones and tight marinas. The boat’s mix of speed, range, and sturdy construction makes it ideal for long runs between waterfront hangouts, quiet coves, and open stretches of water without feeling overmatched or underpowered.
