TZAHALA is a beautiful example of this classic 3500 Open Hardtop model Tiara. She has been lightly used by her owner of 17 years and maintained very well. The Tiara 3500 has a reputation for wonderful performance and a comfortable ride and durability. They accommodate comfortably a group of friends or family for the day and have a lovely interior with a private forward owners cabin, two berths in the salon and an L-shaped galley. The head and shower is aft to port.
Tzahala is powered for performance with twin Cummins 370 diesels. The owner spent thousands on engine and other service work in the last two years. Essentially, everything was either rebuilt/reconditioned or replaced. Both engines have new aftercoolers - heat exchangers on both engines and the generator were reconditioned and pressure tested - all hoses for engines, raw water lines, generator, and A/C were replaced - In addition the VHF radio antennae are new. The autopilot is new. The anchor rode and chain were replaced a few years ago. All the seats/cushions were reupholstered about 5 years ago along with new canvas. This canvas sides are solid Strataglass and snap up in one piece and the back drop curtains have clear isenglass which can rolled up. This is expensive work and done for you now to enjoy the 2025 season.
Please review the full specs and call for an appointment to view her soon.
