The Ventura 37 Sportfish Convertible is a great boat for weekend overnight trips with the family or serious fishing offshore or in the Bay. These high quality Taiwan built boats are well known for their excellent sea keeping abilities as well as the beautiful teak joinery that Taiwan is famous for. Having the ability to Captain the boat either from the upper tournament style flybridge or down in the luxurious and comfortable main cabin area make it suitable for many types of cruising adventures.
The four cycle Detroit Diesel 8.2 Liter engines have recently had all the hoses, alternators, heat exchangers, water pumps, and impellers replaced. In addition, all batteries were replaced along with associated wiring, battery boxes and isolators to insure that this will continue to be a reliable great running boat for many years to come.
