2002 35 Express Specs and Review - rwshevy - 04-02-2017
Seriously considering the 2002 Express with 8.1 Crusader engines. Performance review or any information on this model Tiara would be useful. Thank you in advance.

You can contact Tiara and they will email you one.
I have them for a 35 open and 36 Sovran. If you want them message me and I can email them to you.

Hello John and thank you for your reply. If you have them for the 35 open and 36 Sovran with the 8.1's I would like to see how they measure up. Most of our boating is done on the great lakes.. I think the 8.1's would be fine, but want to make sure that it wouldn't be underpowered.
Thank you.

I owned a 1997 31 open w/7.4 crusaders (454 ci) and currently own a 38 Open w/450 hp Cummin's and helped my buddy when he was considering a 1998 35 Open w/502 ci Gas Crusader's. Our experience showed the 35 open to be under-powered w/these engines. Cruise was 19 knots @ 3500rpm.... Fuel consumption was around 38 GPH based on sellers input. Also looked into a 36 express (2007 it think) w/8.1's and again slower than expected. Not sure what you plan to do, short or long trips, but I would strongly consider diesels as the boat your looking at is heavy with a big beam... M2C
