Hi All,
I'm a surveyor looking for build details on a boat I'm looking at. For all appearances it looks to be a 1981 PT 38 Europa style single engine trawler. The HIN starts with MYA, which appears as Marin Yacht Sales in California which was simply the importer. The boat was never Documented and any Builders Certificate is long gone. She's titled as a Marin Yacht Sales 38.
The PT 38's appear to mostly have been built by Cheer Men in Kaohsiung. Did any other yards built them?
Does anyone else have a PT 38 with an HIN that starts with MYA?
Interestingly, there is an oval builders plaque at the helm from Cheoy Lee with the correct HIN engraved on it except for the final 12th digit (1). Where this plaque is screwed down however is clearly over where something else (another plaque?) had been secured as evidenced by two different screw holes and a faded rectangle....like something else was screwed down there. Attached is a photo of the profile of the boat, and a photo of what I thought was an interesting detail at the port and starboard corners of the stern rail. Does anyone else have this feature?
Given all the midnight mold swapping back in those days, I would love to know for certain where she was built.
