PRINCESS 43

In 1974, fledgling Plymouth-based boat builder Marine Projects took a collective deep breath and launched a new flagship model. The Princess 37 was very different to its other two models, the Princess 25 and Princess 32, both motor cruisers with an open-backed wheelhouse and sterndrive engines. It was one of the largest leisure boats built in the UK at the time and had two cabins, two heads, a galley on the lower deck, a proper deck saloon with doors on the main deck, a second helm position on an upper deck above it called a ‘flybridge’ and a pair of Ford Mermaid diesels running shaft drives beneath. It was a brave, and ultimately successful move.
