Hello all, Had a look at the 35 mk2 in Victoria, and while it will be a great boat for someone, we've decided it's just not for us. There is a lot of value in recent upgrades, but the quality of workmanship is not quite what I'd like to see, and there is a bit too much complexity in the engine compartment, with dual alternators, watermaker, etc. Having now been on two 35s, I can say that it is still a contender on our list though. The owner is motivated to sell, so if you're interested, I can pass along his contact info.
