Own a legend from Thunderboat Row — 1974 Magnum Marine 35' Express, a true classic offshore performer.
I'm only the 3rd owner of this boat, and my family and I have built lasting memories aboard her. The massive deep-V hull eats up the heaviest seas, and the twin Mercruiser 502s with above-water exhaust sound and run great — whether we're screaming across the bay or pulling into port. Bottom was freshly painted and zincs replaced in August 2025.
Below decks there's a V-berth in the forward cabin, a mid-ship couch that doubles as a sea berth and folds into bunks, and a dinette that drops to an additional full-size sleeping area. Galley includes a 12V fridge, sink, 120V microwave, and camp stove. The boat is in solid seagoing condition and priced to reflect her age — a few non-critical items are not currently functioning (second fuel tank not in use, water heater removed, AC not powering up, autopilot not functioning).
KEY FEATURES:
- Massive deep-V hull — eats up heavy seas; the deep-V design Magnum Marine built its offshore reputation on gives this boat a confident, stable ride in conditions that would humble lesser hulls.
-
- Multiple sleeping accommodations — V-berth forward, convertible mid-ship sea berth/bunks, and drop-down dinette bed; room for the whole crew.
-
- Fresh bottom paint and new zincs (August 2025) — ready to splash and go.

Boat Details Description Own a legend from Thunderboat Row! This 1974 Magnum Marine 35' Express is a beast. The massive, deep vee hull eats up the heaviest of sea. The twin Mercruiser 502s with above water exhaust sound and run great, both when screaming across the bay and when pulling into port. As only the 3rd owner, my family and I have built lasting memories on this boat and I am sure you will too, with the v-birth in the front cabin, mid-ship sea berth that converts to bunks, and even a dinette that drops for additional sleeping accommodations. The boat is in solid seagoing condition. As with any boat of this age there are a number of non-critical features which are not currently functioning (second fuel tank may have a leak and is not in use, water heater has been removed, AC is not powering up, autopilot is not functioning). The boat has obviously been priced accordingly. The boat is available immediately and I can likely provide in-water delivery for most of the Chesapeake Bay.
