1998 Cruisers Yachts 3075 Rogue

The 1998 Cruisers Yachts 3075 Rogue is a mid-cabin express cruiser that packs a full galley, an enclosed head, and two private sleeping areas into a trailerable 30-foot package. This one is a freshwater boat that has spent its life on Lake Erie out of Cleveland, and it carries the layout that made the Rogue a popular weekend cruiser: a walk-through windshield to the foredeck, a wraparound cockpit for entertaining, and a surprisingly roomy cabin below.

Power is twin MerCruiser 5.0L V8 sterndrives, with approximately 902 hours showing (seller supplied). It is priced at $18,500.

Why This Boat

The 3075 Rogue is an easy boat to live with. The mid-cabin design gives you a convertible V-berth forward and a separate double berth aft under the cockpit, so two couples or a family can sleep aboard without converting the dinette. The galley handles real meals with a refrigerator, microwave, electric stovetop, and sink, and the enclosed head keeps things civilized on longer days out. Up top, the radar arch, bimini, and full-width swim platform with a transom walk-through make it a comfortable platform for Lake Erie days, whether you are running to Put-in-Bay or just spending the afternoon off the beach.

For a buyer stepping up into their first 30-foot cruiser, a freshwater twin-engine boat at this price is a practical way in. Twin sterndrives give you maneuverability around the dock and a margin of safety offshore that a single-engine boat does not.

Condition & Next Steps

This is an honest, freshwater driver. The mechanical basics are in place — twin MerCruiser 5.0L V8s with approximately 902 hours (seller supplied), Garmin GPS and VHF at the helm, marine air conditioning, and a Fusion Bluetooth stereo through cabin and cockpit speakers. The interior upholstery and canvas show some cosmetic wear consistent with a 1998 boat, which is reflected in the asking price.
