**TWIN YAMAHA F250 FOUR STROKES UNDER 130 HOURS ** **MINT CONDITION FOR THE YEAR** If you are serious about center consoles, and speed, convenience and quality are on your shopping list, you just found the perfect boat. In terms of construction, Venture 34 is as solid as they come. It’s a three-piece assembly: hull, cap and liner. The hull features vacuum-bagged, Divinycel-cored construction throughout, with a high-compression-strength ceramic-matrix core in the transom. equipped with a T-top by Birdsall, with fully sleeved joints and a solid-glass, hand-finished top. Particular to this design are the plates to which a full tower with Access to the top of the sunshade, or the tower, is via a hatch with a heavy-duty latch. With a LOA: 34′ Beam: 10″ Draft: 2’4″ Fuel: 300 gals. Water: 50 gals. Perfect boat for your offshore fishing and distance running. Beneath the seat in front of the console is a large cooler. The liner of the cooler is held in place by four screws and removing them provides access to the battery compartment. This battery placement effectively shifted 300 pounds forward, improving both the ride and the running efficiency of the boat. Inside the console is all the vital service stuff, including the through-hull fittings, where they are easy to keep an eye on and easy to access, should the need arise. The console liner, like the cuddy liner, is fully molded and includes a built-in head and full shower. At the helm, a lift-up, smoked-Plexiglas panel conceals the electronics from prying eyes at the dock. The leaning post includes rod holders, drink holders and the customary storage beneath the seat. There’s room for a slide-out cooler underneath. The main fish box is a seven-footer, which drains via a self-priming macerator pump. At the transom, a 55-gallon oval live well with standpipe overflow takes center stage. Flanking the live well to starboard is a bait-prep sink and the fresh and raw-water washdowns, each with six feet of hose, which is plenty of length for showers or washing down the interior. Access to the platform is via a transom door to port. With a 60-degree entry and 24 degrees of deadrise at the stern, the Venture’s hull is fast, dry and soft-riding. A 7 1/2-inch planning strake running the last six feet of the hull reduces the flat surface up front for a smooth and exceptionally clean ride with little air coming off the entry. Aside from running dry and soft, this boat is fast. With the Yamaha 250 four-strokes on our test boat, we cruised at around 38 mph or better, while burning 22 gph. Top end around 50 plus MPH. That’s some serious performance – but only what you’d expect from a serious center console. Electronics do need replacing as they are all original, however they do work.
