We had the pleasure of running the 34 Bruckmann this past week with Captain Pat Teeling at the helm. The 440 Yanmar offers great performance through a wide range up to and including 25/26 knots with four people and a half load of fuel. The B34E is not a light boat. To me she feels more like an Eastbay under way than many lighter weight counterparts.With her deep-vee entry and wide chines she is quick to plane and cut through a nasty chop with ease and no hint of pounding.....Mark Ellis got this hull form just right!
We will be double checking our data from the sea trial with Jeff Leitch of Bay Shore Marine to be sure that the Yanmar and associated drive train are just right for the new owner. Look for the B34e at the "un-boatshow" May 1 @ Chesapeake Harbor in Annapolis,Md.
