Summary

Built for a seasoned yachting couple with an eye for craftsmanship and coastal cruising, GULLYWHUMPER is a beautifully maintained Ellis 36 Flybridge that showcases Ellis Boat Company’s timeless design and renowned quality. Originally named Sarah J, she was purpose-built for exploring the Maine coast, she blends traditional Downeast lines with smart, custom details throughout.

In 2024, she was repowered with a brand-new Yanmar 6LY 440-hp diesel engine—now with under 100 hours—bringing modern reliability and performance to this classic design. Whether you’re cruising at a comfortable pace or need to make time ahead of weather, this upgrade adds serious value and peace of mind.

The deckhouse features a comfortable L-shaped settee, wide helm and companion seats mounted on Ellis’s signature hydraulic bases, and space for additional deck chairs—perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying the view. A half-height aft bulkhead, enclosed with canvas and isinglass, offers protection while preserving an open, airy feel.

Below, her accommodations reflect the warmth and practicality Ellis is known for. The spacious galley includes a propane stove with oven, generous under-counter refrigeration, double stainless sinks, and custom cabinetry for smart storage. Opposite the galley is a large head with a separate shower stall. Forward, the roomy V-berth offers plenty of built-in storage, making extended cruising comfortable and efficient.

GULLYWHUMPER is equipped with radar, chartplotter, autopilot, and VHF radios at both helm stations. Additional gear includes an Espar diesel heating system, electric windlass, and bow thruster—ensuring confidence and comfort in any harbor.

A rare opportunity to own a pedigreed Downeast flybridge cruiser with a fresh, powerful heart—GULLYWHUMPER is ready for her next adventure.
