I just finished my first season with a 2003.5 340 with 8.1 V-drives with 370 hours. I absolutely love it and have no regrets about the purchase. Heavy duty boat. It's big enough to handle Lake Ontario yet I can confidently single hand it. Docking is a dream. The cabin is huge for my wife and two boys. The cockpit and can handle 8-10 people for a dock party. Tons of storage. The only cons I would list is I wish it had a larger fridge and better engine room access. Don't get me wrong, I've seen worse access, but I find myself getting lazy on checking the oil, etc.
For those that like and don't like your 340s please respond. My wife and I are considering trading up again. Currently we are in an 06' 280 and we are looking at an 04' 340. I like the layout and was shocked when I was in the cabin and was able to standup in much of it (I'm 6'7"). Guess I'm just asking for what you like and don't like about the 340. And more importantly is there anything I should be looking for that is specific to the 340. Thanks in advance
