Cove’s newest model: the 32. The interior appointments and layout are shared with the 32 including her forward island berth and well-appointed galley aft of the helm on the main level. As one can imagine, the 34O boasts a great deal more storage space below decks with the elimination of the inboard diesel and corresponding systems. This open space can even be optioned with a factory-installed Seakeeper gyro stabilizer. The standard bow thruster and Seastar steering makes the 34O remarkably easy to maneuver in close quarters, even with her 39’ LOA. Power options for the 34O include twin Yamaha F300’s as standard equipment with 350 horsepower engines from both Yamaha and Suzuki as optional upgrades. The standard Yamaha V6 power can propel this 17,000 lbs. boat to an impressive 37 knots. The optional 700 horsepower setups will easily exceed 40 knots on the top end. “The 34O really shines at speeds over 30 knots, the ride is solid but remains sporty and responsive. At wide open throttle, the ride is exciting but gentlemanly,” Burns tells us. Ultimately, the new 34O from Back Cove is the most advanced model they've ever produced. It offers all of the brand’s familiar comforts and amenities without sacrificing any of the qualities that have made the brand such a success. There's little doubt the popularity of this new model will continue to surge while Burns and his design team work on developing the next outboard-powered Back Cove. BACK COVE 34O LOA: 38' 11" Beam: 11’ 10” Draft: 2’ - 3' Fuel Capacity: 250 gal. Water Capacity: 60 gal. Holding Tanks: 40 gal. Displacement: 17,000 lbs. Power Options: Twin Yamaha F300 V6 Twin Yamaha F350 V8 Twin Suzuki DF350A V6 WHAT IS TRELIS? TRELIS is a clever acronym for Back Cove’s patent-pending hull form and is exclusive to their outboard-powered models. The TR ailing E dge LI ft S urface consists of a flat surface attuned to the running angle at the aft most portion of the hull bottom. A concave waveform forward of this cutout tapers smoothly from the keel. This exclusive hull form geometry was made possible by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software along with the drive and passion of Kevin Burns and the Back Cove design team. Rest assured, the 34O is not a one-off design but the beginning of a completely re- engineered outboard-powered model line by this renowned yacht builder. The 34O is the fastest Back Cove model yet.
