Boat is a 1988 31' Open. Old owner had a roll of 5/16" that looks like he was using, but my online research is saying 1/4" GFO. Anyone know which is correct? When opened up pulled out 2 piece from each.

Thanks

I am looking for a Tiara 36 or something in that size range.. I live on SF Bay but see that most of these boats are in Florida or somewhere on the east coast. I don't really want to fly to Florida to check out boats unless there is no other way to get one. I am looking for twin diesels, 1990's years, set up for cruising. I tend to be fussy with my boats, so I do not want any fixer uppers. However, cosmetics, canvas, etc are okay; in fact I prefer to do that with my boats. I am not a fisherman and am told that it's expensive to remove all that gear from a boat, so that further limits my options. I have several friends who are Tiara owners (31 to 45) and they suggested I try this site to see if there is anyone on the West Coast who may be thinking about selling a boat. I am trying to keep a purchase under 100k. Anyone out there who can steer me in the right direction or has advice or wisdom they would like to share with me, would be most appreciated.

After looking at Tiara's that fit our budget for the last year, we finally picked up our first one. She is a 1986, 3600 with >1000 hrs on the original engines and she is in new new condition. We could't be more thrilled! I'd post some pics if I could

Garmin International today announced that Tiara Yachts, a division of S2 Yachts Inc., selected Garmin to be an electronics supplier to outfit its line of luxury fishing and cruising yachts.

"Garmin is pleased to be selected by a quality builder such as Tiara," said Engelhard Sundoro, Garmin director of marine OEM sales and marketing, in a statement. "This transaction further strengthens Garmin's growing position as a leading marine electronics supplier and we're confident that Tiara customers will benefit from Garmin's award-winning designs, industry innovations and worldwide support network."

Purchased my first boat in 2003, a 33' Tiara Open. I'm the third owner of an extremely well maintained boat.
I boat mostly in the central to northern Chesapeake Bay. Although I have an excellent boat mechanic, I really enjoy working on my boat myself. I feel it makes for a safer boater.

I would like to purchase a 38' open, so I listed my boat for sale last fall. However, I'm a one boat at a time guy, so I won't be buying until I sell the 33'.

Hi guys we just finished another LED light upgrade. This time it was a 38 open. We are using a combination of LED replacement bulbs and LED strip lights to replace the flourescent valance lights.By using the replacement bulbs we cut the cost of an LED upgrade by more than 60 %! I have Imtra bulbs on sale for $17.00 each. Let me know if we can help. cb@secondchancemarine.com

We are thrilled to have just purchased a 1997 Tiara 4000 Express cruiser, hard top with 450 cummins. She has low hours and has always been a freshwater boat. Looking forward to more cruising opportunities with this superior vessel. After 5 years of houseboating on the upper Niagara River and Erie Canal, and sailing Lake Ontario prior to that - this is an exciting change for us.

Does anyone know where I can purchase (5) Tiara deck latch's?

Hi to all,

Just found this forum. I have been a Tiara owner for about 6 months since puchasing a 2001 3500 Open with 370 Cummins love the boat and look forward to many years of pleasure with it. I live part time just south of Lake Tahoe and part time in San Carlos, Mexico where the vessel Crown Royal is kept. I look forward in paticatating in discussions on this board.

I need to pull my props to get them scanned and my boat is in storage. I want to buy a prop puller and need to know what the clearance is between the base of the prop and the strut, also what puller would you recommend. I know the shaft is 1 1/2". Thanks for your help.
