What the PowerBoat Guide says
Few domestic builders can match Tiara’s reputation for engineering and quality, and fewer still exceed the company when it comes to timeless design. The 3500 Open is a case in point:
hardly revolutionary in concept, she’s a beautifully crafted express cruiser whose classic styling has held up well over the years. Built on a modified-V hull with a wide 13'3" beam, prop pockets reduce draft and shaft angles. Primarily a cruising boat, the large cockpit of the 3500 Open provides an excellent platform for fishing as well. A transom door, wet bar, and in-deck fish box are standard, and the entire bridge deck rises on hydraulic rams for access to the motors. Belowdecks, the spacious single-stateroom interior of the 3500 Open can only be described as lush, with handcrafted teak joinery, leather upholstery, and a full teak-and-holly cabin sole. Additional features include an L-shaped lounge opposite the helm, aft-facing cockpit seats, an electric windshield vent, an integral swim platform, and a bow pulpit. The optional 370hp Cummins diesels cruise at 25–26 knots and reach a top speed of around 30 knots.
