Gulfstar 36 MKII rare as hens teeth?

[cool beans]

Would love to check one out in person, but I've been looking online and haven't seen any for sale in awhile. There's always a couple MKI's, but the lack of an aft sundeck, even the small one on a MKII, is a nonstarter

Any numbers on production? Or do people buy and hold onto these things and never let go?

Thanks!

98 MrkIs and 35 MrkIIs

That does explain the lack of MKII's for sale

I realize this thread has some age on it but I have a related question. Has anyone turned a MK I into an MKII? Seems a sundeck could be built over aft cabin maybe even partial sundeck leaving port side deck open to stern for easy on/off. Then just rip out aft cabin and build centerline queen with drawer storage under. Could even reuse existing bed parts for queen sides. Just reverse them... Anyone seen this done? I am no marine architect so would love to hear form those who might be able to speak into technical issues...
