Hi all--
Thanks you all for sharing your detailed and insighful knowlege on E-34's in response to my last thread on E-34 engine power. Another question has come up relative to the E-34 that I may purchase.
I sail out of a port where there is limited water depth and its important to have a draft of less than 6 ft. The E-34 specs in the post 1990 Pacific Seacraft Brouchure (available on this web site) note that there are two models of the E-34---the shoal draft wing keel at less than 5 ft and the fin keel at 6'3". The particular E-34 that I am considering lists the draft as 5'8". When I ask the broker about this disparity between the listing and the brochure spec sheet he adivses that Ericson made an intermdiate 5'8" draft model in 1989. If so, this fits the bill for me. If the draft is being underreported then this may be a show stopper for me.
Thoughts or knowledge re the intermediate draft fin keel model??
Many thanks, Jim
