Key Features
This Schucker is the highly sought after 437. It is a very rare boat not to be confused with the 436 series. When these boats were being built, all the metal and stainless fittings were made by a company in Miami called Daydex. The owner of Daydex, asked for a hull, as he wanted to build the rest of the boat himself. He spent 30 years building it in his spare time, and when it was finished, he was 85 yrs old and not able to commission it. Once commissioned new items were added and installed which included the standing rigging and few ancillaries, air conditioning 16,000 btu, generator 5eoz etc, but the boat for the most part remains original.
