Different boat. The 37+ or 37XL or 37R or 37/40 are all the same hull and as I understand it were designed as a successor to the 37. Only about 150 hulls were made between 1989 and 1994. The fire at the C&C factory seems to have cut this lineage short. Hearsay is that while still on the drawing board the new C&C 37 was going to have fresh modern lines to compete with the Beneteaus of the day. A vertical bow and transom to be specific. Upon seeing this modern conception it was decreed that it looked horrible and instead of a complete redesign $40 of fiberglass was added to the bow and $40 to the stern. Ultimately this resulted in a boat which measures nearly 40'.
The first three models (37+, 37R, and 37XL) were marketing ploys. Any and all hulls were available with nearly all of the options. Eventually confusing over the different trim lines and the length resulted in the marketing changing the trim line to 37/40. To the best of my knowledge neither the 37 or 40 were ever produced after the release of the 37+ in 1989.
