Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the 36 Sundeck TrawlerbyHERITAGE EASTfor family and couple coastal cruising, drawn by its two-cabin, galley-down arrangement and the unusually roomy interior for a 36-footer. The full-beam aft stateroom with an island queen, abundant built-in storage, and large salon windows make extended time aboard practical, and reviewers note it would make a fine liveaboard. Teak-and-holly soles and solid joinerwork create a warm feel, while a molded transom stair, molded steps to the sundeck, wide side decks, and high rails simplify movement and boarding.
On the water, the semi-displacement hull is set up for economical, comfortable passagemaking at about 8–10 knots; one test reported roughly 9 knots at 2000 rpm while burning about 3.5 gallons per hour. Motion has been described as steady and almost lazy, and the full-length, prop-protecting keel with hard chines tracks well and inspires confidence. The boat is commonly handled by a couple, and its shallow 3 ft 8 in draft opens up canals and skinny-water routes; owners have completed Great Loop–style itineraries, including a trip from Florida to Canada via Lake Champlain, the Rideau Canal, and the St. Lawrence.
Serviceability is a strong point: the single Cummins 6BT/6BT5.9 (about 210–220 hp) is widely regarded as reliable, with approximately 24 inches of clearance around the engine and excellent access via hinged galley steps and lift-up salon hatches. There is no reported pattern of catastrophic design issues, though owners often improve factory systems with dual-switchable Racor fuel filters, modern AGM deep-cycle batteries, a three-phase charger, and a sound shield for the genset. Some steps and lockers open to the engine room, so the boat can be louder than necessary; cabin sound on an unfurnished example was measured around 79.5 dB, and additional sound-deadening is commonly recommended.
Pros and Cons
- Interior is unusually spacious for 36 feet, with two cabins and a full-beam aft master with an island queen.
- Economical, comfortable cruise around 8–10 knots, about 9 knots at 2000 rpm burning roughly 3.5 gph.
- Shallow 3 ft 8 in draft, full-length keel, and hard chines enable canal cruising with good tracking and prop protection.
- Some steps and lockers open to the engine room, making the boat louder than necessary underway.
- Cabin sound was measured around 79.5 dB on an unfurnished example, so added sound deadening is advisable.
- Factory electrical and fuel setups often benefit from upgrades such as AGM batteries, dual-switchable Racor filters, and a genset sound shield.
