2005 Glacier Bay 3490 Ocean Runner: Stable Flybridge Sport Cruiser with Fishing Features and Enclosed Helm
The 2005 Glacier Bay 3490 Ocean Runner represents a well-regarded platform in the catamaran sport cruiser category, built for both comfort cruising and fishing operations in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. At 37.5 feet in length with a 13.25-foot beam, this twin-engine power catamaran delivers the stability and living space characteristic of the Glacier Bay 3490 design, now listed in Anacortes, Washington at $179,000.
Overview and Design Philosophy
Glacier Bay built the 3490 Ocean Runner as a flybridge power catamaran intended for extended cruising and fishing. The model's wide beam and catamaran hull form create inherent stability both underway and at anchor, a fundamental advantage for comfort in varying sea states. The design combines a fully enclosed lower helm station—essential for year-round Pacific Northwest cruising—with an open flybridge, offering flexibility between protected and open-air steering positions. This dual-helm arrangement allows the operator to choose between the comfort of an enclosed wheelhouse during rough or cold weather and the vantage point of the flybridge during fair conditions. The 3490 is not a production boat still in the market; these Glacier Bay models from the 2000s have established a solid reputation among cruising and fishing communities for construction quality and livability. Owners and brokers consistently note that Glacier Bay sport cruisers were built with attention to structural integrity and practical layout, making them reliable platforms for extended time away from the dock.
Propulsion and Performance
This Glacier Bay is powered by twin Suzuki DF350 outboard engines installed in 2019, providing 350 horsepower each for a combined 700 horsepower. The dual-prop outboard configuration delivers the cruising speed of 17 knots and a maximum speed of 25 knots, typical for a 37-foot catamaran of this weight and design. Outboard propulsion offers maintenance accessibility, shallow-water capability, and trim-and-tilt functionality valuable for fishing operations and variable-depth anchorages common in Alaska, Puget Sound, and the Pacific Coast. According to the broker remarks, the engines received a full 500-hour service in April 2024 at 560 total hours, with service receipts available. This recent maintenance history and the relatively low engine hours suggest the propulsion system has been well-maintained and is ready for continued operation.
Electrical System and Power Generation
The boat is equipped with a Westerbeke 5KW EFI generator with only 28 hours of run time, providing AC power generation for extended stays away from shore power. The electrical infrastructure includes a Xantrex SW2000 inverter/charger, a True Charge battery charger, and a Link 1000 battery monitor, supporting a house battery bank of six 6-volt batteries. This integrated electrical system enables independent operation, efficient battery charging from both the generator and engine alternators, and real-time monitoring of battery state of charge—essential for cruising yachts that spend significant time at anchor or in remote locations.
Helm and Electronics
The lower helm station is fully enclosed, protecting the operator and controls from weather while maintaining visibility and comfort during extended cruising. The helm is equipped with Simrad plotter, radar, sounder, and autopilot systems installed in 2012, providing modern navigation and fish-finding capability. Simrad's integrated systems allow the operator to layer chart data, radar overlay, and sonar returns on a single display, improving situational awareness and fish location efficiency. The autopilot supports hands-free steering during long transits or while fishing, reducing fatigue on extended trips. The flybridge helm position offers an elevated vantage point during fair-weather operation, useful for spotting fish, other vessels, and navigational hazards. The flybridge includes seating for four adults, making it a comfortable social space during cruising or entertaining.
Fishing and Cockpit Configuration
The 3490 Ocean Runner's layout reflects its sport fishing heritage. The boat features two fish holds for storing the catch, a 45-gallon live bait well for maintaining live bait or small fish, and a cleaning station where anglers can process their catch. The "back porch" area between the twin outboards serves as a dedicated landing platform, ideal for bringing fish aboard or deploying and retrieving crab pots—a practical feature for commercial or subsistence fishing operations common in the Pacific Northwest. The boat is equipped with Scotty downrigger pads and power supply installed, though downriggers themselves are not included in the purchase. Downriggers are precision fishing tools that deploy baited lines to specific depths while trolling, and the provision of pads and electrical supply indicates the owner's intention to support serious fishing operations. Stainless steel line reels are included, supporting trolling and other line-based fishing methods. The sale includes crab pots, shrimp pots, a pot puller with extension arms, and associated fishing gear, providing immediate capability for both recreational and commercial-scale harvesting operations in coastal waters where these species are abundant.
Cabin and Interior Accommodations
The interior layout provides sleeping accommodations for a crew of four to six. Forward on the port side is a queen berth with a dropdown television, offering comfortable sleeping quarters and entertainment. The starboard forward cabin houses a single berth for crew or guest use. The salon features a convertible settee, providing additional sleeping or seating flexibility depending on the voyage's needs. The galley is equipped with a two-burner electric cooktop and microwave, supported by three refrigerators—two in the galley and one in the salon—providing substantial food storage for extended cruising without reliance on shore-based resupply. The electric cooking system is powered by the generator and inverter, eliminating the need for propane and its associated safety and storage considerations. Climate control is managed by a reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat pump system, enabling both cooling during warm weather and heating during cold seasons. For a 37-foot cruising yacht, this level of climate control is significant, supporting year-round comfort in variable Pacific Northwest conditions or extended cruising to warmer climates.
Layout and Stability Advantages
The catamaran hull form's wide 13.25-foot beam provides inherent stability, reducing the motion and heel that single-hull designs experience in beam seas. For extended cruising with family or crew, this stability translates to reduced fatigue, better sleep quality, and improved comfort for those prone to seasickness. The wider beam also supports generous interior volume, allowing the 37.5-foot length to accommodate living spaces comparable to much larger monohull designs. The flybridge and enclosed lower helm create distinct operational and social zones. During cruising, the operator can choose between the protected lower helm and the open flybridge, while passengers can enjoy the flybridge seating area or retreat to the salon. This separation of helm and living spaces improves the cruising experience for multi-day passages and extended anchorages.
Fuel and Water Capacity
The 300-gallon fuel capacity supports the 17-knot cruising speed across extended distances, typical for Pacific Northwest cruising where fuel docks may be spaced 50 to 100 nautical miles apart. The 60-gallon fresh water capacity requires periodic refilling during extended cruising, but supports basic needs for a crew of four to six for several days between shore visits or water-making operations.
Why This Glacier Bay 3490 Merits Consideration
The 2005 Glacier Bay 3490 Ocean Runner occupies a specific and valuable niche: a proven catamaran platform with demonstrated construction quality, dual-helm flexibility, integrated fishing systems, and comfortable accommodations for cruising families or fishing crews. The recent engine replacement, low generator hours, comprehensive electrical system, and recent electronics installation suggest an owner who maintained and upgraded the vessel thoughtfully. For buyers seeking a stable, fishing-capable cruising platform suitable for Pacific Northwest waters, Alaska trips, or extended coastal cruising, the 3490 offers practical design, proven reliability, and ready-to-use fishing infrastructure. The inclusion of fishing equipment—pots, pot puller, line reels, and downrigger pads—indicates the boat is configured for immediate operational use rather than requiring additional outfitting. The price of $179,000 reflects the vessel's age and used condition while acknowledging the value of recent engine investment, low generator hours, and integrated systems. Prospective buyers should arrange an in-person inspection to evaluate the hull condition, interior systems, and overall functionality before committing to purchase. Maintenance records and a detailed photo album are available through the broker, supporting informed evaluation of the boat's condition and history.
