You're likely gonna get a bit of information overload but at my marina in Wvan, and 'sister marina in poco' , there are some posibilities:
http://www.thunderbirdmarine.com/boat-info.php?ID=2432
ID 4179 - a 2003 Meridian 34 ( diesel) looks nice however you may not like the flybridge extending over most of the cockpit
ID 4168 - a Blackfin ( diesel) that looks in good condition but only 29'
ID 3568 - I quite like this Tiara 36 (Pursuit) but gas
edit - forgot you wanted dual steering stations so that eliminates the Meridian and Blackfin I think
The ID 4184 would be more what I'd want but not the set up you are looking for; a 2004 3070 pursuit

Went to see this one yesterday. Very nice condition. Has some nice upgrades.
While at the marina, saw an older variant of this boat called a 3288 with a unique kicker arrangement. Owner had cut a notch out of the swimstep near the transom and had the kicker attached to a sliding rail system attached to the transom. The engine slid up and down the rail to lower it into the water while allowing it to be directly attached to the transom. Never seen an arrangement quite like this before. The motor didn't pivot like a Garelick bracket, but slid up and down.
Nice advantage of this design is that the kicker doesn't hang off the end of the swimstep several feet and has a stronger mounting point on the transom.

Yes I did. Hull survey was clean. A few minor mechanicals we are working on now. Needed two raw water pumps and new engine mounts.

thanks guys. If you ever want to talk about the 288/2858 drop me a line. I know every inch of the boat. They are great rigs with a few quirks like any boat.

Nice boat TenMile. Going to be a great family / fishing machine. an uncle bought a similar boat last year and loves it. I was pretty interested in a boat like that also for quite a few years. there is alot of value to those boats. they are built pretty good these days. and hard to beat the comfort.
