Manufacturer Provided Description
GREAT COASTAL CRUISER READY TO GO
The Irwin 34 is in many respects a typical Irwin boat. It was originally called the "Citation 34," which was meant to indicate that it was more of a plush cruiser than the race-oriented Irwins at the time, but more of a racer than the larger cruisers. According to the company, 305 Irwin 34s were built in the production run, from 1978 to 1985, a moderate but successful model for the era. Near the end of its production, the boat was advertised as the Irwin 34 rather than the Citation 34. There were no major changes in the boat from beginning to end, just the details and equipment that are typical of any long production run.
The Irwin 34 is known for having a good turn of speed making her enjoyable for cruising and Wednesday night racing. The large 11' 4" beam means good interior volume plus be very stable.
This boat feels like a much larger boat.
