Our Thoughts

LADY B is a 2016 Hinckley Picnic Boat 37 MKIII, a refined coastal cruiser that exemplifies the Maine builder's commitment to seaworthy design, meticulous construction, and thoughtful engineering. At 36.92 feet with an 11.25-foot beam, this lift-kept example represents the pinnacle of the Picnic Boat series—a design equally suited to entertaining family and friends, exploring shallow-water destinations, or embarking on extended weekend cruises along protected waters.

Hull & Construction

The Picnic Boat 37 MKIII's hull employs Hinckley's DualGuard® Composite Construction, featuring a Kevlar E-glass hybrid outer skin, aircraft-grade end-grain balsa below the waterline, and a carbon-fiber inner skin laminated with vinylester resin via the SCRIMP® process. This proven construction delivers the soft, confident ride and structural integrity Hinckley owners expect. The deck and cockpit utilize E-glass with balsa and closed-cell foam core, similarly SCRIMP-laminated for durability and longevity. The hull is finished in Flag Blue Awlgrip with cream gelcoat cabin house and matching non-skid decks, accented by a cream double bootstripe and red bottom paint. Marelon seacocks and thru-hulls minimize corrosion, while the fiberglass molded rub rail is capped with polished stainless steel half-round.

Deck & Exterior Features

LADY B is distinguished by an extensive custom-optioned teak package—a rare specification for the 37 MKIII that elevates both functionality and aesthetics. The swim platform is clad fore and aft in teak decking with white caulk, complemented by a stainless steel bracket, half-round, and a telescoping three-step folding swim ladder. The foredeck features a flush anchor locker with hinged hatch and Hinckley-designed polished stainless steel folding anchor roller integrated with a 12-volt Muir electric windlass. The windlass is operable from the helm and a handheld wireless remote at the anchor locker, and is paired with a polished stainless steel Delta 22-pound anchor, 25 feet of stainless steel chain, and 150 feet of anchor rode.

The pilothouse is crowned with a Hinckley mast and Radome painted to match the deck. Large powered-opening side windows flank the cabin, while two stainless steel electric opening hatches fitted with Ocean Air Sky screens provide natural ventilation. The teak package extends throughout—rounded, tapered varnished teak toe rail with Hinckley profile, varnished teak eyebrow molding around the cabin top, varnished teak handrails on the house top and cabin, and four elliptical ports on the house sides with an opening port in the head. Four stainless steel 316L bow chocks and bow, stern, and mid-rail mooring cleats (including pop-up mid-ship cleats) ensure secure docking and anchoring. Custom padded exterior handrail covers and fender padeyes with toe rail chafe strips complete the deck package.

Cockpit

The spacious cockpit features optional teak decks with white caulk and gloss varnished teak coamings, providing a cohesive aesthetic with the cabin and house. Cushioned seating spans the transom with removable cush

2016 Hinckley Picnic Boat 37 MKIII: Island Queen Cabin Cruiser with JetStick Precision Control
Overview
LADY B is a 2016 Hinckley Picnic Boat 37 MKIII, a 36.92-foot cabin cruiser built to the exacting standards that have defined the Picnic Boat series for decades. Housed in Stuart , Florida, this lift-kept vessel represents a thoughtfully optioned example of one of Hinckley's most sought-after designs, combining the brand's signature seaworthiness with modern conveniences and refined craftsmanship. At $899,000, she offers access to a platform known for soft-riding offshore capability, efficient operation, and enduring value retention—hallmarks of Hinckley ownership. The Picnic Boat 37 MKIII is engineered for owners who value versatility: equally capable of hosting family and friends for sunset entertaining, exploring shallow-water destinations, or embarking on extended coastal cruising. LADY B's configuration—particularly her optional Island Queen berth arrangement, Yanmar 370-horsepower common rail diesel power, and comprehensive JetStick II control system with Hoverlock and Heading Hold—positions her as a rare find among available models. Her teak package, stainless steel hardware upgrades, and meticulously maintained condition reflect an ownership philosophy centered on durability and timeless aesthetics.
Deck and Hull Construction
Hinckley's DualGuard Composite Construction forms the foundation of LADY B's hull, combining a Kevlar E-glass hybrid outer skin with aircraft-grade end-grain balsa below the waterline and a carbon-fiber inner skin. The lamination process employs SCRIMP technology with vinylester resin, a construction methodology that delivers structural integrity, impact resistance, and long-term durability. Deck and cockpit construction mirrors this approach, utilizing E-glass with balsa and closed-cell foam cores, SCRIMP-laminated with vinylester resin to ensure stiffness and weather resistance. The exterior finish presents a Flag Blue Awlgrip hull with cream gelcoat cabin house and painted non-skid decks, topped with a cream double bootstripe. Red bottom paint protects the underwater surfaces. Marelon ball-valve seacocks with through-hulls below the waterline and Marelon through-hulls above provide reliable isolation and minimize corrosion risk. The fiberglass-molded rub rail is finished with a stainless steel half-round, protecting the hull during docking and anchoring operations. The swim platform features heavy-duty fiberglass construction with a custom-optioned teak deck laid with white caulk, enhancing both functionality and visual appeal. A stainless steel telescoping three-step folding swim ladder stores neatly beneath the platform. The fore and aft teak deck package extends across the top of the swim platform with matching white caulk, creating a cohesive and elegant transom presentation.
Foredeck and Anchoring Systems
The flush foredeck anchor locker houses a Muir electric windlass with polished stainless steel controls operable from both the helm station and a handheld wired remote at the locker. LADY B is equipped with a polished stainless steel Delta 22-pound anchor, 25 feet of stainless steel chain, and 150 feet of anchor rode—a ground tackle configuration suitable for cruising throughout coastal waters. The Hinckley-designed polished stainless steel folding anchor roller with 12-volt windlass control eliminates manual labor during anchoring operations. Deck hardware throughout reflects Hinckley's attention to detail: rounded, tapered, varnished teak toe rails with Hinckley profile, varnished teak eyebrow molding around the cabin top, and varnished teak handrails on the house top and cabin. Custom Hinckley 316L stainless steel bow chocks, paired with bow, stern, and mid-rail mooring cleats (including pop-up mid-ship cleats easily reached from the cockpit), facilitate secure mooring in any marina environment. Fender padeyes with toe rail chafe strips protect the hull during rafting and close-quarter maneuvering.
Pilothouse and Helm Design
The pilothouse serves as the operational and social heart of LADY B, fully air-conditioned with two 12,000 BTU reverse-cycle units featuring separate controls for port and starboard zones. Facing settees upholstered in Sunbrella Viento Nautical fabric provide comfortable seating for two to four occupants, while a custom teak folding dining table with high-low base accommodates meals and chart work. The space is finished in varnished teak throughout—liners, dash, and overhead handrails—creating a warm, professional helm environment. Four pilothouse windows with green tint include two powered electric sliding side windows and two fixed forward windows equipped with heavy-duty, self-parking intermittent windshield wipers and fresh water washers. Two electric opening oversized hatches with Ocean Air Sky screens and shades flood the space with natural light and ventilation. The insulated white overhead houses four low-voltage halogen lights for nighttime operation. Optional Stidd helm and navigator seats feature Luxor Leather Ostrich Doe upholstery with integral folding footrests. The helmsman's chair provides power up-and-down and fore-and-aft adjustment, enabling ergonomic positioning for extended cruising. Storage lockers beneath the pilothouse settees provide secure stowage for charts, personal items, and entertainment materials. Ten cup holders—three at each settee and two at each helm location—accommodate beverages during entertaining and cruising. Glove boxes and storage shelves at port and starboard helm positions organize navigation aids, binoculars, and operational documentation. A varnished teak locking companionway door with centerline handrail controls access between the pilothouse and cabin, while three-piece drop curtains with Eisenglass windows provide privacy and weather protection.
Helm Station and JetStick II Control System
The starboard helm station is anchored by a varnished teak instrument pod and a stainless steel 14-inch steering wheel with varnished wood rim. However, the true operational centerpiece is Hinckley's proprietary JetStick II control system, integrated with H-Lock and Heading Hold functions. This advanced joystick control revolutionizes docking and maneuvering by allowing single-handed operation of both propulsion and the bow thruster, dramatically reducing the physical demands of boat handling while increasing precision in tight spaces. The Heading Hold feature maintains the vessel's heading automatically, freeing the operator to focus on lateral positioning during approach and departure. Engine instrumentation includes dedicated gauges for tachometer with hour meter, oil pressure, water temperature, and nozzle indicator for each Yanmar engine. A 12-volt cigarette-style outlet near the helm supports portable electronics and charging devices. Two cup holders and a lidded glove box with storage complete the helm's ergonomic design.
Helm Electronics and Navigation
LADY B is equipped with a comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite. A Raymarine e165 16-inch color chartplotter and radar display with a 4-kilowatt 24-inch color HD scanner provides real-time navigation, weather, and target detection. The Raymarine P70R autopilot, interfaced with GPS, enables hands-free cruising on extended passages. An i70 multifunction instrument display with depth sounder integration presents critical navigation and engine data in a unified interface. Communication is handled by a Standard Horizon Explorer GX1600B VHF radio with RAM microphone, ensuring reliable contact with other vessels and shore-based authorities. A Racor fuel filter and water separator with audible alarm and indicator panels alert the operator to water contamination or filter saturation. High-water bilge alarms with indicators for each of the three bilge zones provide early warning of any water ingress.
Entertainment and Audio Systems
A FUSION MS-AV750 stereo receiver with AM/FM/CD/DVD player, Bluetooth connectivity, and satellite radio readiness serves as the entertainment hub. A wired FUSION remote at the helm provides independent volume controls for pilothouse and cockpit zones, allowing flexible audio management during entertaining and cruising. Three pairs of Alpine speakers—one pair forward in the cabin, one pair forward in the pilothouse, and one pair in the cockpit—deliver balanced audio throughout the vessel. All speakers feature remote volume control, enabling occupants to adjust levels from any location.

What type of boat is the 2016 Hinckley Picnic Boat 37 MKIII and what is it designed for?
The Hinckley Picnic Boat 37 MKIII is a pilothouse cruiser designed for versatility across multiple boating styles. Her refined hull form and seaworthy design make her equally capable for entertaining family and friends on sunset cruises, exploring shallow-water destinations, or embarking on extended weekend coastal getaways. The pilothouse configuration provides weather protection and comfort, while the spacious cockpit and transom door support both social entertaining and practical boating operations. This model represents Hinckley's philosophy of blending traditional craftsmanship with modern technology in a manageable 37-foot package.
What engine package powers this Picnic Boat 37 MKIII and how does it perform?
LADY B is powered by twin Yanmar 8LV 370-horsepower common rail diesel engines paired with Hamilton 274 Jet Drives and ZF 220 transmissions. This configuration delivers a cruising speed of 28 knots and a maximum speed of 32 knots, providing efficient, economical long-range cruising capability while maintaining responsive performance when desired. The diesel engines are known for reliability and fuel efficiency, making them well-suited for extended trips. The jet drive system offers shallow-water capability and excellent maneuverability, particularly when combined with the JetStick II control system.
How does the JetStick II control system enhance handling and docking?
The Hinckley JetStick II control system with Hoverlock and Heading Hold transforms boat handling by providing intuitive, single-lever control of both engines and the bow thruster. Hoverlock maintains the boat's position in wind and current without constant helm input, while Heading Hold automatically corrects for drift and keeps the boat on course. These features make docking, maneuvering in tight spaces, and holding position in challenging conditions significantly easier, reducing fatigue during extended cruising and enhancing safety during precision maneuvers. The system integrates seamlessly with the 7-inch hydraulic variable thrust bow thruster for coordinated, responsive control.
What electronics and navigation equipment are included?
LADY B features a comprehensive electronics package centered on a Raymarine e165 16-inch color chartplotter and radar with 4-kilowatt 24-inch color HD scanner, providing excellent situational awareness in all conditions. A Raymarine P70R autopilot with GPS integration and i70 multifunction instrument display handles navigation and course management. Communication is handled by a Standard Horizon Explorer GX1600B VHF radio. Engine monitoring includes Yanmar multi-function displays, separate analog gauges for tachometer, oil pressure, fuel tank level, and coolant temperature on each engine, plus audible alarms for fuel filter water, high-low oil pressure, high engine water temperature, and bilge high-water conditions. This redundancy in critical engine and navigation systems supports safe cruising.
What is the Island Queen berth arrangement and how does it differ from typical cabin layouts?
The Island Queen berth is an optional configuration that positions a full queen-size bed in the forward cabin with a settee to port for easy access, creating a more spacious and comfortable sleeping arrangement than traditional V-berth designs. This layout maximizes usable cabin space and sleeping comfort for extended cruising or weekend getaways. The berth is supported by storage lockers underneath with easy-access cherry front drawers, and a cedar-lined hanging locker positioned aft to starboard provides additional storage for clothing and gear. The cabin maintains 6 feet 2 inches of standing headroom and is fully climate-controlled, making it a genuine living space rather than merely a sleeping compartment.
How is the pilothouse designed for both comfort and functionality?
The pilothouse combines weather protection with entertaining capability through its full air-conditioning system with separate port and starboard climate controls, large powered-opening side windows, and two electric opening overhead hatches with Ocean Air Sky screens. Facing settees upholstered in Sunbrella provide comfortable seating for multiple guests, while the optional high-low dining table accommodates meals underway. The helm features optional Stidd seats with power up-and-down and fore-aft adjustment for ergonomic comfort during long cruising days. Varnished teak liners, dash, and full-length overhead handrail create a refined interior aesthetic, while ten cup holders and ample storage lockers under the settees support practical cruising. This design allows the pilothouse to function as a social gathering space, navigation center, and dining area simultaneously.
What galley and head facilities support extended cruising?
The galley features a stainless steel sink with Grohe fixtures and spray nozzle, a built-in microwave oven, a custom Corian countertop with integrated stove and sink cover, and Adler Barbour 12-volt refrigeration in a self-draining insulated box. Three cherry pullout drawers and under-counter storage provide organization for provisioning. The private head includes a Sealand Vacu-Flush electric marine toilet plumbed to a 27-gallon holding tank, a custom gloss varnished cherry countertop with under-mounted porcelain sink, Grohe faucet with handheld shower, and storage in cherry-faced lockers. A 40-gallon water tank and 6-gallon stainless steel hot water heater (shore power and engine heated) support extended cruising comfort. These systems are proportionate to the vessel's size and intended use for weekend and coastal trips.
What makes the cockpit layout practical for entertaining and boating operations?
The cockpit features ample cushioned seating at the transom with removable Sunbrella cushions, aft-facing seats at the forward end with storage below, and optional teak decks with gloss varnished teak coamings that create an attractive, functional entertaining space. An optional 8-inch deep insulated and drained cooler in the port amenity and a refrigerator in the starboard amenity keep beverages and provisions accessible. Four stainless steel combination cup and fishing rod holders mounted on port and starboard side decks support both casual entertaining and light fishing. A custom line and fender storage tray system in the lazarette keeps deck gear organized, while a cockpit shower with mixing valve at the stern seat adds convenience. The transom door provides direct access to the swim platform and teak-decked platform with telescoping 3-step folding ladder, making water activities and boarding easy for guests.
What hull construction and materials contribute to durability and seaworthiness?
LADY B employs Hinckley DualGuard Composite Construction, which combines a Kevlar E-glass hybrid outer skin with aircraft-grade end-grain balsa below the waterline and a carbon-fiber inner skin, all SCRIMPED with vinylester resin for superior strength-to-weight ratio and impact resistance. The deck and cockpit use E-glass with balsa and closed-cell foam core, also SCRIMPED with vinylester resin, providing a rigid, durable structure that resists flexing and fatigue. The hull is finished in Flag Blue Awlgrip with cream gelcoat cabin house and matching non-skid decks, while the red bottom paint protects against marine growth. Marelon ball-valve seacocks with thru-hulls below the waterline and Marelon thru-hulls above prevent corrosion and failure. This construction delivers the soft, confident ride and seaworthiness Hinckley owners expect while maintaining long-term durability and ease of maintenance.
What comfort and convenience systems support year-round cruising?
Climate control is provided by two 12,000 BTU air-conditioning and reverse-cycle heat units in the pilothouse with separate port and starboard controls, plus a single 10,000 BTU unit serving the main cabin and head with zone control, allowing comfortable operation in warm and cool seasons. A Cummins Onan 9-kilowatt generator with sound shield provides independent 110-volt power when away from shore power, supporting air conditioning, galley appliances, and water heating. The electrical system includes dual 110-volt shore power inlets with 30-amp cords dedicated to house and climate loads, a Victron Multiplus inverter-charger with 100-amp 12-volt multi-stage charging, and a 3,000-watt pure sine wave inverter. Dual 12-volt systems with 420 amps of house battery capacity and separate starting batteries ensure reliable power for navigation, engine starting, and onboard systems. A 6-gallon stainless steel hot water heater offers both shore power and engine-heated operation, supporting comfortable freshwater showers and galley use throughout extended cruising.
What safety and operational systems are integrated into this vessel?
LADY B incorporates multiple redundant safety systems including three electric 1500-GPH 12-volt bilge pumps with float switches and high-water alarms for each bilge zone, plus a manual Whale emergency bilge pump mounted in the cockpit locker. An automatic engine compartment fire suppression system with automatic engine shutdown protects against mechanical fires. Fuel management includes a Racor fuel filter-water separator with audible alarm and panel indicators at the helm, alerting the operator to water in fuel before it reaches the engines. The Muir electric windlass system with helm and handheld remote controls allows safe anchor deployment and retrieval, while dual cylinder trim tabs with indicator controls at the helm optimize hull attitude and fuel efficiency. Dual alternators (one for house batteries, one for starting) and a heavy-duty battery parallel switch enable emergency starting capability. Running lights, electric horn, fire extinguishers, flares, life jackets, fenders with fleece covers, and a boat hook complete the safety and operational equipment package.
