1999 Tiara Yachts 3500 Express

This 1999 Tiara 3500 Express is a 35-foot fiberglass cruiser powered by twin Cummins diesel engines rated at 740 horsepower combined. The boat has undergone extensive recent upgrades totaling over $75,000, with work focused on navigation, climate control, propulsion, and onboard systems.

Navigation and electronics include a pair of new Garmin plotters with radar and AIS capability, supplemented by a new VHF radio and integrated solar power. The helm benefits from a new smart autopilot system. Below deck, new turbos and Airsepts support the engines, while a new 24-volt bow thruster with wireless remote aids maneuvering. A generator—still in its original box with only 300 hours—provides auxiliary power. Fresh batteries and an upgraded charging system round out the electrical upgrades.

The boat features new full canvas bimini and aft covers with stainless steel framing and a forward rake design. The cockpit has independent air conditioning and heating on a dedicated system with its own pump and strainer. Below, the galley includes new refrigeration and custom cedar cabinetry and shelving. A new waist pump-out system was installed, and a new Herley swing davit with electric winch handles tender deployment. Interior updates include new lighting and a complete stereo system with new speakers and amplifiers. The hull received fresh bottom paint and detailing, while engines were cleaned and serviced.
