Fast 34-36 footer (PHRF below 135 or better)
Shallow draft under 5 feet

There is no such thing.

35s5 ............. back of the pack

That you're a lying blowhard who doesn't actually have a boat?

Sorry, doug. I think you know what a swim platform and aft cabin is. My
35s5 has them. In addition that some of the boats you listed were
outside of the size range or older than I specified, so let's try again
and see if you follow these VERY simple parameters:

Fast 34-36 footer (PHRF below 135 or better)
Shallow draft under 5 feet
Good sized cockpit (Say 7 feet or better long)
Swim platform (Not a ladder, a real platform)
NIce interior for weekend trips or even longer. (Not like the hideous
Frers you linked)
Aft cabin required (A cabin aft with a door, Doug)
Sleeping quarters big enough for tall folks (Hard to find. Should be
at least one double near 7')
Good resale value
Not older than say 1985 (obvious)
Price range 50-75K

So try again, Doug and try not to make up a new defintion for swim
platform or aft cabin. The only boat on your list we considered was the
CS 36...a nice boat, but short bunks, no swim platform and tough to
find. We looked at one.

Go ahead...list em!

Gee, and I so liked the Frers.

Hunter 37.5 is over our size limit for our slip and now swim platform.

No aft Cabin, no swim platform.

Tiny sleep quarters, no swim platform, no aft cabin, teak decks are a
no-no on a boat this old. PHRF is about the same here.

CS 36 was a contender, but the lack of swim platform and generic
appearance turned us off. Nice boat though. Close to same speed but
certainly not faster with SK.

Slightly snazzier version, slightly cheaper too

As above....rates 136 PHRF with wing

I'm considering taking a look at this one myself

We already did. The interior is even worse than the pics suggest. You
won't be buying it.

Like I said, not one of these boats meets the criteria I listed. Only a
few do.

I think you know what a swim platform is.

A powerboat feature, generally.

35s5--no speed, but what the hell--there is a swim platform. :Chantiers

Don't be silly. Plenty of sailboats now have swim platforms integrated
just like the 35s5.

Yup. Sailboat are resembling their powered cousins more and more. There is
a 380 Catalina hereabouts with a swiveling helm chair. You should consider
one of those, Bubbles.

Anyone who has stood long watches helming would thing that
a good idea. I've used spinnakers for padding to give my back
a break. I'd rate a comfortable helm seat high on my list of
priorities.
