I am looking at this boat. It is a 1984 and in great shape.
Can anyone give me some views on this boat???



Slow and stable, the way a proper cruiser should be. I sail with a friend
on his 1981 Endeavour 35, A-style. He's got quite a few blisters, but
nothing threatening, just a nuisance. The hull is solid. There was some
issues around the through-hull fittings and his rudder post was overhauled.

The rainwater comes down the inside of the mast and always ends up in the
bilge, which is always wet, of course.

Been in 18' seas in the 35 and she's a handful of helm that will tire you
out in heavy following seas, but I never felt threatened.....well, until
"SOMETHING", probably a whale broached with a crash about 90 miles off
Georgia at 2AM with me all alone in the cockpit. I was wide awake
then!...no coffee necessary!

Great boats made of REAL fiberglass. Keep an eye on the chainplates. We
pulled a couple loose on the 35. Hope you like sanding, varnishing and
polishing wood...(c;
