Being a newbe to these Ericson's, what is the difference between the 2 and 3? I don't see the 2 listed on the spec's & doc's. Thanks,

I believe the changes are subtle, but significant. The -3 will have the TAFG I believe, as well as slightly larger dimensions and a noticable change to the transom. The -2 is more squared in the stern area. I'm sure there is more since this is a WAG; I've only owned a 32-2 and a 38-200

The 35-Mk 2 and 35-Mk 3 are different hulls from different decades. Both nice sailing boats, but the wind across the deck is about all they have in common. Many folks just call the Mk 2 an "Ericson 35", overlooking the first Ericson 35 from the 60's, different boat again.
The later Mk 3 has quite a bit more interior, FWIW.

Thanks Shaun and Loren, this is a slow process for me but I think I am learning more and more about the Ericson Family.
