Owner Experience Review
Owners and reviewers tend to use the 38 GLS IOfromCruisers Yachtsas an all-purpose dayboat-weekender, accommodating large cockpit groups and overnighting 2–4. The two midship dinettes, aft bench, and bow seating let families spread out, while the beach door increases usable swim and entertaining space. Below, there is more than 6 feet of headroom, a private aft stateroom (about 6.5' x 4.5'), a forward dinette that converts to a berth, and an enclosed head with a shower—enough to make quick weekend trips practical.
On the water, experts report responsive, nimble handling around docks, and the optional joystick makes close‑quarters work and backing into slips straightforward. The multistrake hull sheds spray and tracks cleanly through S‑turns and large wakes, and the 12'6" beam delivers a stable platform at rest, though that beam can be felt when docking without the joystick. Published sea trials of outboard-powered sister setups have shown cruise in the 30–37‑knot range and top speeds roughly 46–52 mph, underscoring that results vary with power and setup.
Choosing the I/O version brings a sleeker transom and expanded swim platform, but owners repeatedly flag stern‑drive maintenance items—bellows, gimbal bearing, trim cylinders, shift/steering bellows and the impeller—for annual inspection and proactive replacement. Access to the engine/drive area can be tighter than on outboard models, so a thorough survey and qualified MerCruiser/Volvo Penta service are recommended. As one owner summarized, “The MerCruiser / IO drive work really well if you keep up with it.”
Pros and Cons
- Versatile layout supports dayboating, entertaining large cockpit groups, and weekending for 2–4.
- Beach door and expanded swim platform area enhance water access and social space.
- Ergonomic helm with good visibility and room for dual 16-inch displays aids confident operation.
- Stern-drive components like bellows, gimbal bearing, trim cylinders, and impeller demand proactive annual inspection.
- I/O engine and drive access can be relatively cramped compared with outboard versions.
- The wide 12'6" beam is noticeable when docking without the joystick.
