Surprised at the comment on the yanmar 2gm, I have one in my 33-2 and no such complaint. Perhaps I just don’t know any better. The 34 was on my shopping list and I looked at several. Iirc, the balsa core extends into or close to the bilge so a damp core in this area is worth checking for. Good luck! Dave
