That has to be the smallest 35 footer I have ever seen.



I thought the same, it looks like a small boat for a 35 ftr.




She's certainly no Catalina 36. And a Oceanus of the same size feels
like a whale by comparison. But she has a lot more room than the J34c
or Tartan 34 we looked at. In person and on deck she's actually pretty
roomy and deck and cockpit space is friendly compared to many others.
Also keep in mind that the pic with Arthur on deck is deceptive. Arthur
is taller than me!



I was talking about seeing it in person not the pictures. Just looked
small for a 35+ ftr. I know it's not, but still without the big 35s5
sticker on the side you might guess it's a 30 ftr. I think it's all the
length added with the stern steps making the hull look small. I'm still
trying to figure out what he was measuring yesterday. He was measuring
off the wings on the keel aft at weird angles. Also I thought the prop
shaft was awful light weight. He has a 3 blade fixed prop. Rudder
looked kinda small for a 35+ft too.
