I just saw an '85 E34 at Shilshole in Seattle. Sale pending unfortunately. It looks like an ideal boat for me. Are there any others out there for sale ?

A check on Yachtworld.com may show some. You can indicate your specified make, model, year, price range and area. I have seen some 34' there in the past.

Plan B

Odd thought, but....
For the same or less money,
You could buy either of the two beautiful E-39B's that are for sale on the west coast right now...
(Just scroll down the For Sale forum a little ways.)

Just a thought...

re 39B

Loren, it is pretty amazing value, but a lot of boat. The broker at Shilshole gave us a quick tour of the E34 and it was truly a jem. Perfect for us. We had 50% of an '85 Hunter 34 and we want a step up in calibre but not size. The 34 is at the top of the short list.

Consider a 35-3. We were also enamored with the E34 but after stepping aboard a few 34s and 35s we decided the 35 would suit our needs better. We rarely overnight with anyone but ourselves and felt the added luxury of the shower stall was nice.

Plan B

Tim, the 35-III does look nice with its U shaped galley and shower. How do you find the engine access, is it as good as the 34? Also what is that triangular area beside the shower as seen on the specs plan view?

Engine access is fairly good I think. You can get to pretty much everything you need to to do normal maintenance during the season through both the front access panel or the top access panel. When it comes to aligning the engine or changing the tranny fluid, I remove the frame(about 16 screws) around the engine and can lay over it to get to the rear.

If you are referring to the area outboard of the shower, it is a seat.
