3500 Express

A very popular model, the 3500 Express is a top-tier cruising yacht with the conservative styling and built-in quality found in all Tiara products of this era. With a super-wide 13'9" beam, this is a big 35-footer with impressive cabin space, a huge cockpit, and tons of storage. The Tiara’s single-stateroom interior was available in two configurations: Plan A (sleeps six) has a portside dinette and head, while Plan B (sleeps four) trades the dinette in favor of an enlarged galley, head with stall shower, and a bigger stateroom with island berth and private access to the head. In both layouts, the salon L-lounge converts to a double berth with its own privacy curtain. The traditional decor of the 3500 Express—a blend of solid teak joinery, leather upholstery, and teak and holly cabin sole—will probably never go out of style. Topside, the vast single-level cockpit has seating for 8–10 with an ice maker, wet bar, hot/cold shower, and generous storage. Note the cavernous transom storage box and power engine compartment hatch. The extended swim platform can support a PWC. Crusader 385hp 8.1L gas engines cruise at 16–18 knots (mid 20s top). Cummins 370hp V-drive diesels cruise at 24–26 knots (about 30 knots top).
