I have a 1978 ericson 34T for sale in Mandeville, LA. It's listed in Yachtworld but I wanted to let subscribers know that the price is negotiable- I want her sold...and sailed! I have a new boat (a center cockpit floating condo for the wife!) and I'm no longer able to spend the time I'd like...

Just thought I'd let the Ericson community know that "Bye Design", my 1978 E34t is now for sale. Anyone interested can contact me at chris@remsonhaley.com. The boat is listed on yatchworld as well, and is located in Madisonville, Louisiana. I love this boat but needed more space. My new boat...

Chris, My '78 34t has an extended bowsprit with dual anchor rolers. I didn't install it, but it appears to have been relatively easy due to its connection locations. I think it looks pretty good, too. Here's a picture. A deck anchor locker would be great, as would a sampson post for...

Hi everyone It's winter and I'm working on my usual list of projects to keep "BYE DESIGN", our '78 34T, looking good and performing well. I'm now thinking of tackling the interior cushion upholstery. Currently, the cushions are upholstered in a patterned, velvet-like uphostery ( I'm not sure...

replacement hatch Glen, Perhaps you could post a photo or two of the replacement hatches you've made for the Morgans. I'm definately interested, but not sure what they would look like, particularly with window. Also, my boat is beige, not white, and I'm not sure how a new fiberglass hatch...

I'm looking for a low maintenance hatch to replace the wood frame/clouded plexiglass hatches on my '78 34t. Has anyone found a replacement hatch compatible with the fiberglass curb?

I hope this works! I'm trying to attach a detail and specifications for the rudder post stuffing box. Here goes.......

Good luck with your projects. I hear replacing the ports is a big job on these boats. I too have leaky ports that are beginning to ruin the wood paneling at the interior sides of the cabin top- very common. When I replace the ports, I plan to use a smoked mirror laminate in lieu of wood to...

l_g_s, Such a deep draft does pose a challenge here. Luckily the bottom is usually muck and getting unstuck isn't too difficult. We typically sail on Lake Pontchartrain- which has a pretty consistant depth of about 12-14 feet. Bumping the bottom usually occurs alongside the city dock which...

Hi, If you haven't already done so, go to the "specs and Documents" page of this site and find the E-34t color brochure. I own a 1978 34t and Love this boat! When I bought it I wrote to Bruce King and was able to purchase the hull, deck and sail plans. What I've learned so far is that the...

I have a 1978 ericson 34t. It is a Bruce King design, originally condeived as a 41 foot racer, and later market driven changes resulted in the 34' t (trunk cabin cruiser) and, I think, a 34' flush deck racer- so I've heard. Actual facts about this design have been difficult to find. I'm...
