Oasis was formerly named 34 Oceans Avenue by her original owner. She was purchased new in 1984 from the factory and put in the slip that she still occupies. The current owners purchased her in 2020 and in the process of rehabbing her, came to love her and the slip that she has always occupied; one of the very best at Grandpappy Marina on Lake Texoma. The Yanmar diesel engine was lightly used to get her to and from the slip for a sail and so it has super low hours. That engine has been meticulously maintained and always in fresh water. She was a little tired when we found her, but since has received new sails, new running rigging, new interior, new port lights and companionway doors among a list that is long and impressive. Pack a bag, buy some groceries (Wine and Beer for the super Refrigerator) and come to this great sailboat in the best slip on Lake Texoma for a change that is what you've been longing for.

The Hunter 34 is a fast boat, particularly in light air. This is due almost entirely to her huge rig, which towers over 51' above the waterline. Owners report that in winds of from seven to 12 knots, the boat is practically unbeatable in club racing. The typical PHRF rating of 135 for the deep keel boat is faster than most other cruiser/racers of her size.

Normally, you would expect a boat with a 42% ballast/displacement ratio to be stiff. The keel of the deep-draft Hunter 34, however, has most of its weight and volume up high, while the shoal draft keel, even with its extra 220 pounds of ballast, still has a fairly high vertical center of gravity. This just goes to show that you can’t judge a boat’s stability by its ballast/ displacement ratio—you’ve got to know how far down that weight is, too.

Hunter 34s are equipped with the Yanmar 3GMF, a three-cylinder, fresh water cooled diesel that puts out about 22.5 hp. This is an excellent engine. Access to the engine for service is good. The Yanmar is more than adequate power for the boat, and she should cruise under power at 5 1/2 knots or more without any trouble. The fuel capacity of 25 gallons should give a range of about 275 miles.

The general design and finish of the Hunter 34 are far ahead of older boats by the company. The Eurostyling of the deck and interior were pretty unusual when the boat first came out, but fairly typical of boats built five years after the Hunter 34 was introduced.

If you want a fast, modern small coastal cruiser with maximum room at minimum cost, a Hunter 34 would be a good choice.
