Just posted a "bare-bones" listing on Boats.com. Photos, more detailed descriptions to follow gradually. Needed to get past the psychological hurdle! I expect the ad will change frequently from here.

Ah, I misunderstood. Thanks.

Hi Bepi, I have a similar boat, just beginning selling process. How did things go with your sale? Success?

I have had an Ericson 35-2 at a marina in San Diego Bay for 12 years, and now want to sell this summer. Good mechanical condition, poor cosmetic condition-needs everything painted. Only real work needed is to strengthen the shroud chainplates sometime. Reliable UniversaL M3-20B engine, new...

I am back to working on the boat more actively, not for sale at this time.

Just a late reader picking up on an old thread. The burning question for me, reading through all the posts, is; Why hasn't OP ever said "I borrowed a voltmeter from my neighbor and with that 2nd voltmeter I also got sky high readings of 19 volts". There has been commentary on trying a...

My marina neighbor, also with a 35-2, remodeled his boat with all new port lights, and I took the old set in storage. I am now listing my own 35-2, and have no possible use for these. Would like them to go to someone who wants, but will not keep longer than another month. Write...

Ericson 35 Mark II, 1972, hull #228. Universal M3-20B diesel engine, center cabin, easy access. This boat is at the right price for a buyer who can see potential. Plenty of cosmetic work needed, but the boat is dry, with a running engine, working sails, and a new unused head and holding tank...

Leander exhaust system Hi all, inspired by photos by others, I have loaded my exhaust schematic diagram, photos, and explanations to my blog on the site, "Journey of a new owner (Leander)". As I tried to explain it all, I realized I do not understand why I have a muffler in the engine...

Exhaust system learning resources Hi Brad, Looks like you have gotten a lot of answers here. I still have not been down to my boat to take pictures. I do want to share a resource that has been great for me, if you happen to use reading as a problem-solving tool: "This Old Boat", Don...

An exhaust system without water is called a "dry stack". Design principles, the same reasons as above, usually mean that the dry exhaust stack rises directly up from the engine, through the cabin roof, heavily insulated, to exhaust into air high above deck, with as short a run as possible...

Hi Brad, Your configuration may be exactly correct. In general, you want to get the water mixing with the hot exhaust as soon as possible. Before the water is added, the exhaust tubing is very hot and therefore dangerous and needs insulation and protection to avoid starting a fire or burning...

Had a reply yet? Hi Brad, I can't tell from the responses so far whether anyone has submitted photos or a diagram that might help you. I have a center cabin mount engine on my 35-2, now a Universal M3 20B diesel. I have done some refitting on the exhaust. My exhaust travels aft midline...

19 HP not great My 1972 E35-2 has a Universal M3 20B, which I think is about 18-19 HP. I put on a full 3 blade prop to maximize maneuverability. I have major difficulty trying to steer backing down, and performance forward is sluggish, although engine seems to run very well. I dream of 25-30...

Sister ship Hi Brad, I am in San Diego with hull #228 if you ever want to compare notes. These are great boats, in my opinion. Leander
