I've made the plunge. Just picked up a 1984 new to me Allmand 35 tri cabin. 132 hours on the Yahmar. Now to find a way to get it from Mobile to Fort Myers between tropical storms.

Congratulations ! I had an '84 too, nice boat.. Mine was on the Chesapeake, the couple I sold her to sailed her to Georgia and they started a owners group, they have since sold the boat and moved on. My only complaint was the water tank in the keel, bad design.
What was it about he water tank in the keel you didn't like?
One of the main purposes of PeaceMaker is to help me figure out what I like and don't like about it for when I buy my next boat. I picked it up at a reasonable price and it is well equipped and recently refitted nearly top to bottom.

Thanks for all your help
Prone to leaking. Some people put a bladder tank inside, some fill it with concrete.
