Description

This excellent Pacific Northwest-built trawler has been lovingly upgraded since 2010 by the current owner. Many updates, including new hull paint in gorgeous, deep blue, updated electronics, Newer batteries, inverter, and head system. Bow and Stern thruster makes her easy to maneuver. Cruising speed of 8 knots, tops out at 10, she is very efficient on her 180 HP Volvo-Penta single engine.

This 38 foot semi-displacement trawler is capable of boating to Alaska. Equipped with Espar diesel heating, she will make a very comfortable home away from home. With a high visibility pilothouse and a covered after deck, it’s clear to see her Northwest heritage. 

Would also make an excellent liveaboard!

Exterior Description And Features


About the hull and deck construction:

Devlins are built in Olympia, Washington, and are considered true Pacific Northwest trawlers. 

Construction is Wood/Epoxy Composite using Devlin’s Stitch and Glue method. This construction yields a beautiful boat that is warm and insulated due to the wood hull and structure and yet as maintainable as any of the fiberglass hulls you might find coming out of the large production yards. 

About the Stitch and Glue method: The Stitch and Glue method uses wire sutures to hold panels together until they can be joined permanently with epoxy and fiberglass tape. The outside of the hull is completely coated with fiberglass or Dynel cloth sheathing. All exposed wood is coated with epoxy to encapsulate the boat from sun and sea to retain the excellent characteristics of wooden boats without the drawbacks of traditional building methods. Finally, the boat can be finished with high-quality marine paint to finish the whole project in a mirror sheen.

Hull Features:

The Gollywobbler 38 has got the classic tug/trawler lines, and is ideal for a couple or small family that wants to go out for adventures, even to Alaska. The aft cockpit has a hard roof to protect from weather, and a teak grate flooring that is removable. There is plenty of space to layout several chairs and even a table for "al fresco" dining. There is a small but serviceable swim platform, and hookups to connect a Devlin tender.

You can move forward on the outside of the boat via the foot-wide walkway (wood grab handles on the cabintop help). To starboard you can access the pilothouse via a great sidedoor. Once past the pilothouse, you have a nice foredeck which has plenty of seating  for enjoying the evening views. The deck is flat and there is a good guardrail, making going forward comfortable.

Above the Pilothouse, there are solar panels (may or may not be operable), as well as your radar and antennas, and wood mast with boom, which can be used to hoist for example kayaks to store on the cabintop above the salon. 

  • Deck surface - White gelcoat with white non-skid applied.
  • Windows - Diamond Sea Glaze tinted windows
  • Stanchions - 1" welded stainless steel, from midship forward.
  • Toe Rails - A 3/4" raised wood toe rail runs the entire circumference of the deck.
  • Ground tackle - (1) Bruce 33 Lb anchor with 60 Ft of 1 1/2" chain and 180 ft of 3/4 Inch rode
  • Windlass - LoFrans electric windlass 
  • Handrails - Wooden handrails throughout deck
  • Cleats - (6) All brass
  • Mast and Davit - Wooden mast and davit system with pulley system (Can handle kayaks, not heavy tenders). 
  • Horn - Electric
  • Spotlights - to Port and starboard

Interior Description And Features


Description:

Walking into the boat from the covered cockpit, immediately to port and starboard when you enter the Salon, the galley is composed of an L-shaped counter with sink, stove and storage, and top starboard, a standing fridge with separate freezer compartment, and more countertop with a microwave. There is good storage under the counters.

The salon is open and inviting. There is plenty of natural light via large windows to port and starboard, the glass and aluminium door, and opening windows by the galley counter. Lastly, there is a large skylight that can be open to let plenty of natural air in. 

The seating is set up as an L-shaped settee to Port, with a large table that can drop down to make a berth. To Starboard is a long bench settee. This arrangement allows a goo- sized group to converse or lounge without feeling like they are getting in each others way. There is teak and holly flooring and the ceiling has been tastefully refinished in yellow cedar (as in the Pilothouse).

Up a couple of steps to the pilothouse, here one encounters a large, bright and should I say “shippy” feeling bridge. To port, there is a long chart table area with three large drawers underneath. The current owner has added comfortable pillows so that one or more people can sit and read a book or enjoy the views.

The helm is to starboard with a tall locker to stow gear. There is 360 degree visibility from the bridge and docking is easily handled with a side sliding door to starboard and a simple single step out to the side deck.

Going forward and down three steps into the forward area of the ship, you will encounter a head to port with enough room to maneuver in without feeling cramped. There is a separate shower stall and both the head compartment and shower drain into a separate sump. There is a quarter berth to starboard for that occasional guest that might come along for a cruise. Forward of the quarter berth is a hanging locker and a vanity or personal work desk on the starboard side. Forward is a large double berth and a couple of reading seats. The designer favor the concept of providing plenty of nesting spots so to allow one the opportunity to relax in quiet seclusion when its needed. The Gollywobbler has been designed with that in mind.
