37 sedan flybridge removal

Can the flybridge on the 37 be removed or is it welded in place?

Considering hauling home overland as alternative to the Tombigbee chal...

Re: Fuel tank capacity

Javalin 390, was the 16,500 lbs with some fuel, water, misc., stuff for boating, or was it clean out with very little fluids? Trying to get an idea of weight when ready to go fishing so I can do a calculation on speed using twin 330 Cummins diesels. Thanks

Fuel tank capacity

What was the typical fuel capacity of a 1982 Marinette 37 Sedan. I have searched all those for sale and the fuel capacity was never listed. Also, displacement. I did find two with 11,000 lbs, which seems low for a 37 foot boat, but maybe that is an advantage of Aluminum. All my previous boats were f...
