The Duffy 37 Gizmo<\/em><\/strong> is now a Great Cruising Boat at a Bargain Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

9\/1\/2026 price reduction to $125,000<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

June 2026 survey valuing Gizmo at $180,000 is available<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This Duffy 37 was especially laid up and elegantly finished out in 2000 for a sailor\/engineer intent on safe and comfortable coastal power cruising. The current owner — Ben Ellison, senior editor of Panbo.com — spent many years replacing and adding systems for more safety and comfort, any weather navigation, on and off boat monitoring, and energy independence. Perfect for a couple, but easily manageable solo, Gizmo <\/em>is in Camden Harbor ready to put many more miles under her long keel and protected running gear, at effective speeds ranging from 8 to 18 knots, with fuel burn as low as 3.5 nm per gallon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Ellison was an early reader who then volunteered to take over the site, writing <a href=\"https:\/\/panbo.com\/archives\/2005\/04\/look_ma_im_blogging.html\">his first entry in April, 2005<\/a>. He recently commented,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frankly, it began as a bit of a lark — a way to learn how to write faster, I hoped — but more than 2,000 entries later, Panbo has become the center of my work life and the source of great satisfaction. Instant publishing often means instant feedback, and the site has collected a group of informed commenters from all over the world. We all learn together. Plus, the companies that develop marine electronics often read those comments, and thus Panbo has become an agent of change. All good!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panbo has survived some hard times in the marine industry, plus the distractions of Facebook and more, but the site’s reputation remains high and its future bright.\u00a0In early 2018, Ben Stein joined as Contributing Editor, then spearheaded <a href=\"https:\/\/panbo.com\/panbo-new-website-2018-woooohoooo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the complete website rebuild<\/a> that went live in late March, and became Panbo’s Editor and Publisher in September. Both Bens will continue to research, test, and write about marine electronics, and future site improvements are in the works.

Ben discovered this spending summers at his grandparents’ home on a small lake in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the mid-2000s Ben and his wife bought a 35′ boat and began boating on Lake Michigan.  They found they really enjoyed cruising the Great Lakes, visiting the small towns, and hopping from spot to spot.  Boating became Ben’s respite from a stressful, non-stop career in financial services technology.  So, when the opportunity presented itself to step away from that business in 2016, Ben, his wife Laura, and daughters Molly and Madelyn decided to do the <a href=\"http:\/\/greatloop.org\">Great Loop<\/a>.  The family have now completed over 10,000 nautical miles of cruising in the last four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben has a degree in computer science and extensive, hands-on experience with all aspects of modern, mission-critical technology.\u00a0 His experience with computing infrastructure and networks maps very well to modern marine electronics. Ben and his family cruised and lived aboard their Carver Voyager 570, <em>Have Another Day<\/em> until <a href=\"https:\/\/panbo.com\/reflections-on-loss-post-hurricane-ian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">losing her in Hurricane Ian in the Fall of 2022<\/a>.

The planned circumnavigation never happened, but Ben has been making a career in boating with Camden as home port ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the rest of the 20th century, Ben worked mainly as a professional sailor and seamanship instructor though he eventually became Director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodenboatschool.com\/\">WoodenBoat School<\/a> and later turned his fascination with navigation and new technology into work on tide prediction software and editing Reed’s Nautical Almanacs. At the start of the new century, he began writing about marine electronics for various sail and powerboating magazines, a good excuse for a series of test boats culminating in the <a href=\"https:\/\/panbo.com\/gizmo-deal-for-real-thanks-to-the-a-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Duffy 37 he dubbed <em>Gizmo<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ben E’s work has received numerous honors in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bwi.org\/contest\/\">annual Boating Writers International writing contest<\/a>, and in 2018 he became a director of the International Marine Electronics Alliance and also the only American on the Design Awards METS (DAME) jury.  <a

houseboat somewhere on the upper Mississippi when I was about 7 years old.\u00a0 My family chose to rent a houseboat and take a vacation on the water.\u00a0 I loved it, while the rest of my family hated it.\u00a0 I was so happy to be on the water I didn’t notice the layer of dead flies in the carpet or any of the other myriad inadequacies that made the skin of my family crawl.<\/p>\n<p>I’ve always loved boats.\u00a0 I grew up with a family home on a small glacial lake in Wisconsin on a 1957 Correct Craft speed boat and various sail, paddle, row, and pontoon boats.\u00a0 In 2006 I moved from small inland lakes to the inland seas of the Great Lakes.\u00a0 My wife Laura and I participated in a lease share on a 34′ Sea Ray.\u00a0 We learned that we loved boating but didn’t like sharing boats.\u00a0 So, the next summer we bought a Four Winns Vista 358.\u00a0 We actually signed the papers the day after finding out we were expecting our first, Molly.\u00a0 So, our first summer on the Four Winns was a mix of a very pregnant Laura followed by a very small Molly on the boat.\u00a0 Molly was on the boat for the first time at about three weeks old.\u00a0 As Molly grew and Maddy came along we moved on first to Cruisers 4450 and then,\u00a0<em>Have Another Day,\u00a0<\/em>our current 57′ Carver Voyager.<\/p>\n<p>I spent 15 years working in financial services technology running critical technology for brokerages.\u00a0 First, for a small brokerage I helped start in Chicago and then for Charles Schwab.\u00a0 My job was to make sure the technology worked no matter what it took; now I find myself applying the same principals to boats.\u00a0 As marine technology has matured much of it is based on existing technical concepts and standards (Ethernet, WiFi, general purpose computing, etc) I used extensively in my previous career.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/panbo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/DEPARTURE-DAY-PHOTOS-20.jpeg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\"

Things got a little hairy way off the Carolinas, but I made it home to see my daughter born in July.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p>I did live aboard <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Alice\u00a0<\/span>for most of the 70’s, ran her as a daysailing operation, and cruised twice to the Caribbean (with just a VHF radio and a depth flasher for\u00a0electronics). During that decade I also worked on oil field boats off Louisiana, tried my hand at commercial fishing, delivered yachts and\u00a0taught navigation\/seamanship in many venues including <a href=\"https:\/\/panbo.com\/archives\/2013\/11\/lessons_of_the_bounty_--_andy_nails_it.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offshore on a barkentine<\/a>. By the 80’s, the boat had morphed into a home-built home and I even started a totally\u00a0non-nautical business (which at least got me into personal computers early). I did keep up the deliveries and teaching, managed some boats,\u00a0and in 1985 began a five-year stint as director of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewoodenboatschool.com\/\">WoodenBoat School<\/a>.\u00a0I still get a pitter-patter when I visit there.<\/p>\n<p>The 90’s? Back to boat deliveries and teaching, a house addition, work for a tide prediction software company, and eventually work as editor of Reed’s Nautical Almanacs. That job was more about marine software and data manipulation than sentences, which is partially how I transitioned into writing about electronics. I got started at <em>Ocean Navigator<\/em> in 1999 and became Electronics Editor at <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Power & Motoryacht<\/span> in 2001,\u00a0added <span style=\"font-style:

at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bonniermarinegroup.com\/\">Bonnier Marine Group<\/a> in early 2009.\u00a0In 2013 I switched teams again, returning in a sense to <i>PMY <\/i>and <i>Sail<\/i>, which are
