2000 Rampage 38 Express

Step into the cockpit and you’ll see why this 38 Express has such a loyal following with serious crews. The beamy, open work area gives you room to run a full spread without stepping on each other, and the molded tackle centers keep rigs and tools right where you need them. Deep, secure walkarounds to the bow make setting the anchor or working a fish up forward feel confident, even in a slop. Below, the cabin offers a proper galley, real headroom, and a comfortable berth so you can grab a hot meal and a solid sleep after a long troll. Heavy hardware, wide side decks, and a substantial bow flare all speak to a design built for real ocean miles.

In these waters, conditions can turn from flat to frothy in a single tide change, and the Rampage 38 Express is built for exactly that kind of reality. The deep, solid hull and generous beam provide a reassuring ride when afternoon chop stacks up, while the open helm and cockpit keep sightlines clear for navigating shifting sandbars and crowded channels. Fuel capacity and efficient diesels give you range to work distant ledges and offshore humps without constantly watching the gauges. When the bite is in closer, the draft is friendly enough for inshore approaches, yet you still have the bluewater pedigree to run well past the fleet when the forecast and your instincts line up.
