This 2019 Hinckley Picnic Boat 34 MKII is powered by twin Yanmar 320-horsepower diesel engines paired with Hamilton 274 waterjets, delivering a cruising speed of 31 knots and a top end near 35 knots. The boat features the JetStick II control system—integrating steering, thrust, and bow thruster into a single joystick with heading hold and hover lock—along with trim tabs and a proportional hydraulic bow thruster for responsive handling. The hull employs Hinckley's DualGuard Plus composite construction with aramid fiber and carbon fiber for strength and durability.
The 34-foot design balances open cockpit seating with an enclosed pilothouse. The cockpit offers forward and aft-facing cushioned seats with a transom door accessing the swim platform. The pilothouse contains dual helm stations with oversized frameless windows, manual side slides, and overhead hatches, along with port and starboard settees and storage beneath. Below deck, the cabin features a galley to port with a refrigerator, stove, and microwave; a head to starboard with electric marine toilet and shower; and a spacious V-berth forward with insert and ample locker storage.
Interior finishes include satin-varnished cherry cabinetry, varnished teak and tulipwood cabin sole, and cherry locker doors. The pilothouse overhead is white acoustic with varnished battens. Deck details include continuous varnished teak toe rail, teak eyebrow molding around the cabin top, and a fiberglass swim platform with teak inserts and stainless steel railings. Hull paint is midnight blue with a cream bootstripe and Micron black bottom.
Electronics include a Garmin 7612 chartplotter with 4-kilowatt radar, Garmin autopilot, and VHF radio. A 5-kilowatt Onan diesel generator and three 8,000-BTU air conditioning units support extended use. The electrical system comprises dual battery banks, shore power connectivity, and redundant hydraulic PTO pumps. Recent service work and varnishing have been completed.
