UPDATE - SURVEY FINDINGS -This 3500 Open has a somewhat common issue with cored hulls of this vintage - moisture and potential lamination issues on portions of the hull - above the waterline - near the anchor locker drain, primarily on the starboard side. While not catastrophic, a defect that will need to be addressed in coming years. The current owners are willing to consider reasonable offers that will assist the new owners with the future costs associated with repairs.
OTHERWISE Wesley Mae is in amazing condition.
Wesley Mae is an immaculate example of one of Tiara’s most trusted models. The current owners have demonstrated the value of vessel care, maintenance and responsible operation for the past 18 years. A review of detailed service records combined with a meticulous inspection will substantiate these claims.
The Tiara 3500 Open is a highly sought-after express cruiser built by the quality boat builder with a great reputation for quality and engineering. The profile is enhanced by a unique curved reverse transom, with molded transom door and gate, an integrated swim platform and bow pulpit.
With her factory hardtop, this 3500 is a very versatile vessel, equally suited for fishing or an accommodating and comfortable cruiser. If you are considering a yacht in this size range, Wesley Mae is a must see.
