Greetings,
We've been in partnership of a 1988 Ericson 34 (hull #262) since 1993. When bought, the boat came with a couple of original E34 brochures stating the boat was made by Pacific Seacraft - it's the same brochure found on this website in the 'downloads' section. Our boat is the sister ship to the details and photos in that brochure in every way EXCEPT that the cabinet doors on our boat have cane inserts, not solid teak.
Now that we're selling it, several people have questioned our statement that the boat was made by Pacific Seacraft. I've been doing some digging online, including on this site, and find that I really can't answer the question!
It seems that Ericson filed for bancruptcy in 1987. One of the original owners then went to work for Pac. Sea., taking with him some hull molds. Pacific Seacraft later bought Ericson, but not until...1990? Our HIN number is ERY34262L788.
Is this information correct? Have any of you E34 owners ever determined where and by whom your boat was manufactured? Thanks for any light you can cast on the subjct!
Cheers, Carla and Wade
