They make a great product. You may want to consider a folder or feathering prop for better performance. CS only makes fixed 2 and 3 blade props. Your E34 is a high performance cruiser and unless you are going long term cruising you may like to get as much speed as possible.
I have an 85 35-3 that is very similar in performace specs to your boat. I use a FlexOFold 2 blade and while it has increased sailing performance, it has also increased motoring in both forward and reverse.

Treilley,
I have a ' 88 34 with the same engine. I bought a Campbell sailing prop a few years back and it was an improvement over the stock 2 blade Michigan Sailor prop that came with the boat. I noticed about a half knot improvement while under sail, more umph in head seas, much smoother under power and better backing.
I have since have run into a Martec 3 blade feathering prop at a price that was very right, so the Campbell three blade is in the garage, looking for a home.

Campbell Sailer
We got a new Campbell Sailer for our 1985 35-3 late last summer. We immediately liked it. Formerly had a Martec folding prop that caused excessive vibration and loss of steering control at crucial close maneuvering moments. The Campbell runs smooth, little to no vibration, gets great bite in the water in headwinds, and gives awesome maneuvering control. We feel we have lost very little in speed and we are really fussy about performance.
