3400 Santa Cruz

EDITOR NOTES: Conservative family cruiser from 1990s appealed to entry-level buyers on a tight budget. Wide 12-foot beam allows plenty of cabin, cockpit space. Generic midcabin interior offers the usual amenities—convertible dinette, well-equipped galley, enclosed head with shower. Topside highlights include double-wide helm seat, radar arch, cockpit wet bar, bow pulpit. Big engineroom is a plus. Note so-so fit and finish, small 216-gallon fuel capacity. Cruise at 22 knots with twin 330hp MerCruiser sterndrive engines (about 35 knots wide open).
