Tiara's are very well built boats, but not with out their faults. I have a 36 Open in the vintage your looking at. They share the same hull and many other features.
Known areas to look at:
Bow pulpit, check for moisture. These are bolted on, so check where they are bolted thru.
Portlights, check for moisture around them, rebed or replace as needed.
Aft deck hatches, check for moisture around hinges on both the hatch and on the deck.
These are older boats and have higher levels of moisture. But if you keep ahead of them, you'll be find.
Mine have crusaders. Around 4350 hours each. Their both having their top ends redone this winter. One motor as I had milky oil at the end of the season due to a corroded water channel on the head and the other motor as proactive maintenance. Mechanic said I caught it early and didnt appear to have done any damage. But these are older boats and will require maintenance.
