Description

PRONTO is a rare East Coast example of the respected Ed Monk Jr. designed Roughwater 37, originally built for Pacific Northwest cruising and later relocated from California. Her rugged hand-laid fiberglass construction, protected full keel, economical Perkins diesel, and shallow 4-foot draft make her equally at home exploring the Great Loop, Intracoastal Waterway, Bahamas, or coastal New England.

Powered by a professionally rebuilt Perkins 200 HP turbo diesel with only approximately 450 hours since rebuild, she combines classic trawler pedigree with modern electronics and extensively renewed systems. Approximately 1,400 hours of professional-quality restoration completed between 2024 and 2026 have transformed PRONTO into an exceptionally capable cruising yacht ready for her next owner.
