SailorMitch will become famous soon enough
First my bias -- I own a P-33-2, so you know which boat I favor. But what year P-34 are you looking at? Early 80's vintage is different from the one produced in the mid-late 80's until Pearson went belly up in 1991. Have never been on an O-Day 34, but I think in general Pearson built better boats (my opinion only of course.) Also, the only Pearson's built with cored hulls were the ones from 40 feet and up. So whatever 34 you are looking at will have a cored deck, but a solid glass hull.

If you have my specific questions on the P-34-1 or 34-2, sign up for the Pearson email list here on Sailnet and ask there. I know some owners of the 34-1 also if you want to connect directly with someone who knows that model. There weren't that many 34-2's made.
