Gyn Tonic

If you are shopping a 39’ center console and want the performance and technology of a much newer boat without paying new-boat pricing, this 2018 HCB 39 Speciale is the one to see.

“Gyn Tonic” stands apart from the typical 39’ market because the big-ticket upgrades are already done. In December 2023, she was professionally re-powered with triple Mercury 400hp V10 outboards with only 60 hours, along with new rigging, new controls, and VesselView, backed by a 5-year warranty. This is a major step up from the more common Mercury 300/350 setups, delivering a smoother, quieter, more refined ride with stronger acceleration and a noticeably more modern driving experience.

To match the new power package, she also received new Garmin electronics in December 2023, including Garmin autopilot and Garmin XHD2 radar, giving you the confidence and capability you’d expect from a newer model boat.

With electronic steering, joystick control, and a bow thruster, this HCB is not only built for serious offshore days, it is also impressively easy to handle around the dock. Add in signature HCB comfort, smart storage, and a layout that works equally well for cruising, entertaining, and fishing, and you have a true “buy newer for less” opportunity in one of the most desirable center console platforms in her class.
