hello I am a yacht broker .We imported Fountaine Pajot cats for a while. I liked the Maryland 37.Good sea boat..pretty well built - way better than the new boats. Boat is economical at Trawler speed but you can still reach 16 to 19 knots -depending on engines and load We sold a number of them -new and used and I cruised extensively on them-Florida,Bahmas,Caribbeans and west coast of France.Boats have been good and seaworthy.Sound insulation could be better but good live aboard. I like the three cabins versions as I could take kids cruising and have good privacy.I think they are the best compromise for the size Best Regards PHILIPPE J GUILLEMIN GLOBAL MARITIME YACHT & SHIP BROKERS.WINDWARD-ISLANDS TOLL FREE:+1 866 854 2107 BUSINESS: +1 954 367 9345.World.
