thinking of purchasing an 86 OD 35 for coastal cruising in the gulf....any comments on merits or drawbacks of this boat compared to others in a similar price range are appreciated.

Ken, I wrote a review on the O'day 35 in this web site. Take a look at it. Send me your e-mail address...three of us communicate on specific issues with our boats and will be happy to help you. We all seem very happy with our purchases.

I'd go for the 35...newer model..better construction methods...both are well established boats with good track records.enjoy!
We have had a O' 35 for a year. We have not had an opportunity to get out because of a wreck, but she has been great on the bay when we have. From all I have read and by her ratios she is definitely a inland and coastal boat. One of the advantages we see is a lot of room below for a boat this size. The flatness of the bottom and her beam provide this but we give up the off shore capability. Dave Lewis you name is in the title. I have gotten no response from your previous address and want to communicate again. I agree with Dave Lewis' comment that there are several of us that visit this site and staying in communication has been very helpful. Good Winds Dave dmauney@structint.com
