Ericson 36 RH or Ericson 34x?

Thanks for the replies. I'm inquiring about these two boats in particular only because these are available in my area. I was also thinking that the Ron Holland 36 would be the better choice of the two. I'm looking at them both next week.

I've only seen pictures but the transom is pretty unusual. Pinwheel is a nice description. It says it's a '78 Bruce King but in my readings I'm wondering if there was a transposition of numbers somewhere. Anyway the 34 will cost less initially but to get it equipped as well as the 36 I'd be looking at a significant amount. I'd have lots of time to make these upgrades but some of them would have to be made immediately after purchase so that in itself is pointing me toward the 36. Not to mention my wife encouraging me not to settle. I certainly don't have enough time off to be doing major upgrades. I want to start sailing now not spending weeks getting a boat ready.

The price difference between the two is a bit less than $15k. The 34 is the electric drive on Granville. I've quit looking south of the border because of the poor exchange rate. I have a hard time justifying forking over an extra 25+% even though it may be well worth it. My problem. I was thinking that a couple of wind generators and solar panels could deal with the quick drain of battery power. Something that I would investigate a bit further if I like what I see next week. The 34 is on Yachtworld.
