My wife and I own a 1981 PT38 Sedan Trawler built by Cheer Men Marine. Hull was designed by Norek, not sure about the superstructure. "Wavelength" [formerly SAN-BAR] has Twin Lehman 120 engines. We cruise at 8knots @ 1800 rpm. At WOT [@2400] we can do
almost 12knots but seldom do.
I'd say the quality is typical of a Taiwanese built 80's boat. Lucky for us the prior family that owned her for ~30yrs did all the right things maintenance wise. Ours has the original teak decks and fuel tanks. All in good order.
The cabin is a great layout for us, we did not want an after cabin.
