Codfish Boat | 36' Northern Bay 1998

Codfish is a 1998 Northern Bay 36 that combines traditional Downeast styling, proven commercial-grade construction, and quality craftsmanship. Built by Down East Boats & Composites of Penobscot, Maine, on the highly respected Spencer Lincoln-designed Northern Bay lobster boat hull and professionally finished by Newport Shipyard of Newport, Rhode Island, she delivers the comfortable ride, stability, and efficiency that have made these vessels sought after by experienced cruisers. Her flybridge, equipped with full controls, provides excellent visibility for docking and navigation while offering an enjoyable vantage point for fair-weather cruising.

Powered by a 420 HP Volvo Penta diesel engine, Codfish offers the flexibility to cruise economically at displacement speeds of approximately 7–8 knots or run comfortably in the mid-to-upper teens when desired. A 4.2 kW ENTEC West generator, generous fuel and water capacities, and reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating make her well-equipped for extended cruising, including America's Great Loop and other long-range adventures.

The interior is thoughtfully arranged for a cruising couple, featuring a forward master stateroom and a convertible dinette that accommodates overnight guests when needed. Whether your plans include coastal cruising, fishing excursions, Great Loop adventures, or weekend getaways, Codfish offers a rare combination of classic Downeast character, practical accommodations, and proven cruising capability.
