Ericsons like Pearsons are good simple older boats. Well made - some
like the 34 have a cult following.

All are fine in the Alberg / Cape Dory / Pearson class of boats but the
Ericsons are a bit racier / faster than the straight cruisers.

Value utterly depends, today, on equipment and condition. You can find
them from highly desirable to wrecks.

Figure about $50k asking for a really nice 34.
