2017 Buddy Davis 34 Center Console: Legendary Hull Design Meets Offshore Fishing Capability
Overview
The 2017 Buddy Davis 34 Center Console represents the manufacturer's commitment to combining seaworthy hull design with serious fishing functionality. Powered by triple Yamaha 300-horsepower four-stroke outboards, this 34-foot center console is engineered for anglers and cruisers who demand both performance and comfort in near-shore and offshore conditions. The vessel's 24-degree deep V hull with deep forward entry has earned the Buddy Davis name through decades of reputation for dry, stable running characteristics and the ability to handle challenging sea states. Priced at $235,000 and located in Ossining, New York, this listing offers a fully equipped platform with modern electronics, comprehensive fishing amenities, and the structural integrity that vacuum-infused composite construction provides.
Hull Design and Construction
The 34 Center Console's hull is built using advanced fiberglass composite construction with vacuum-infused resin and closed-cell foam coring throughout. This methodology delivers a lightweight yet rigid structure that contributes to the vessel's famous ride quality and fuel efficiency. The 24-degree deep V hull form with pronounced forward entry is specifically designed to cut through head seas rather than pound through them, a characteristic that becomes critical when fishing offshore or cruising in variable conditions. The dramatic flare along the topsides increases freeboard and buoyancy forward, keeping the deck dry during acceleration and rough water operation. With a beam of 10.5 feet and draft of 2.83 feet, the 34 CC maintains maneuverability in shallow-water fishing grounds while providing the stability and volume needed for extended offshore passage.
Power and Propulsion
Three Yamaha 300-horsepower four-stroke outboard engines provide the propulsion system for this center console. The four-stroke configuration delivers better fuel economy and lower emissions compared to two-stroke alternatives, while the triple-engine redundancy offers reliability and safety for offshore operations where distance from shore demands mechanical dependability. All three engines feature white paint finish, a cosmetic upgrade that enhances the vessel's appearance while protecting against UV degradation. The outboard arrangement allows for shallow-water access and simplified maintenance, with the molded integral engine bracket and dual cylinder trim tabs providing precise attitude control and the ability to fine-tune running angle for optimal performance across various sea conditions and loading scenarios.
Helm Station and Electronics
The helm of this Buddy Davis is equipped with a comprehensive electronics suite centered on Raymarine systems. Two Raymarine VHF radios provide redundant communication capability, while two Raymarine GS165 display screens serve as the primary navigation interface. A Raymarine 24HD radar system offers excellent target definition and weather detection, paired with an RS130 GPS antenna for precise position fixing. The system includes a CHIRP-capable transducer for superior sonar definition in various water conditions, and an RMK9 keypad remote allows wireless control of navigation and autopilot functions from the helm or remote location. Raymarine autopilot automation reduces fatigue during longer runs and improves precision when positioning for fishing marks. The custom steering wheel with knob and wide bi-fold entry door to the helm console provide ergonomic access and visibility. A compass offers traditional navigation backup, while coded accessible electrical wiring ensures safe system integration throughout the vessel.
Fishing Features and Deck Layout
The 34 CC is purpose-built for fishing with a comprehensive suite of features that support both near-shore and offshore angling. A livewell system maintains bait and catch quality during extended fishing days, while a dedicated fishbox provides secure storage for the day's catch. Rod storage and tackle storage stations are integrated into the design, keeping gear organized and accessible. The wrap-around coaming provides secure seating and handholds throughout the cockpit, with a flip-down stern seat offering additional seating or working platform. A dive door facilitates safe entry and exit for swimmers or divers, expanding the vessel's utility beyond fishing. Outriggers extend the trolling spread for live bait and lure presentations, a critical feature for offshore game fish pursuit. Fresh and salt water wash-down systems with 25-foot hoses make cleaning and fish processing efficient, while the stainless steel pop-up cleats and deck hardware support secure line attachment and fender deployment.
Interior and Accommodations
The center console houses a stand-up head with electric macerator toilet, Y-valve, and holding tank—a significant comfort feature on a 34-footer that allows extended offshore trips without returning to shore. The head includes a sink and hand-held shower, providing basic freshwater facilities for crew hygiene and comfort. The bi-fold entry door to the head console offers easy access and privacy. The center console design maximizes cockpit fishing space while still providing the essential facilities that support multi-day cruising and fishing adventures. Two polyurethane water tanks hold a combined 64 gallons of fresh water, supporting the shower and galley wash-down needs.
Fuel and Systems Management
The 300-gallon aluminum fuel tank provides substantial range for offshore operations, with dual fuel separators protecting the three Yamaha engines from water contamination. The fuel capacity supports extended cruising distances and reduces the frequency of refueling stops on longer trips. The vessel's electrical system includes two high-amp engine house batteries and two high-amp engine cranking batteries, managed through a battery management panel that ensures reliable starting and sustained power for navigation, communication, and fishing electronics. Three automatic bilge pumps with hi-water alarm provide redundant dewatering capability, a critical safety feature for any offshore vessel. All below-waterline seacocks meet marine safety standards, and the bonded electrical system prevents galvanic corrosion in the saltwater environment. International navigation lights ensure compliance with collision avoidance regulations for day and night operation.
Deck Hardware and Comfort Features
A T-top with spreader lights extends the helm shade and provides additional lighting for night fishing and docking operations. The three-sided enclosure protects the helm and forward seating area from wind and spray, significantly improving comfort during extended cruising or rough water operation.

34 Center Console
What makes the Buddy Davis 34 Center Console's hull design effective for both nearshore and offshore fishing?
The 34 CC features a 24-degree deep V hull with deep forward entry, a design signature of Buddy Davis that is engineered to cut through head seas and run on rails. The dramatic flare delivers a dry ride while contributing to superior buoyancy, making the boat comfortable and capable in nearshore conditions as well as harsh offshore sea conditions. This hull geometry allows the boat to maintain stability and control when crossing rough water, which is critical for fishing operations where you need to position the boat precisely and safely in variable conditions.
How does the triple Yamaha 300hp 4-Stroke engine package perform on a 34-foot center console?
The triple Yamaha 300hp 4-Stroke configuration delivers 900 total horsepower, which provides strong acceleration and cruising capability for a 34-foot boat. Four-stroke outboards offer fuel efficiency and low-emission operation compared to two-stroke alternatives, reducing fuel consumption during extended offshore runs. With three independent engines, you gain redundancy—if one engine requires service, you can still operate on two engines to return to port safely. The white-painted engines are also a practical choice for heat reflection in the tropical and subtropical sun.
What fishing amenities are built into the 34 CC layout?
The 34 CC includes rod storage, a livewell for keeping bait and catch alive, dedicated tackle storage stations, a fishbox for storing cleaned fish, and wrap-around coaming that provides secure footing and handholds around the gunwales. These features are integrated into the boat's design rather than added aftermarket, which means they are built to the same structural and durability standards as the hull itself. The combination supports both live-bait fishing and catch-retention workflows typical of offshore and nearshore operations.
What is the Raymarine electronics suite on this boat, and what does each component do?
The boat is equipped with two Raymarine VHF radios for redundant communication, two Raymarine GS165 display screens for navigation and fish-finding data, a CHIRP transducer for high-resolution sonar imaging, a 24HD Radar for detecting weather and surface objects in low-visibility conditions, and an RS130 GPS antenna for accurate positioning. The RMK9 keypad remote allows you to control navigation and autopilot functions from the helm or remotely. An autopilot system is also installed, which reduces fatigue on longer runs and helps maintain course in variable conditions. This is a modern, integrated Raymarine system that supports both navigation and fishing applications.
How does the T-Top with spreader lights improve usability on the 34 CC?
The T-Top provides shade and weather protection over the helm and forward cockpit area, extending the comfort window for fishing and cruising in sun and light rain. The spreader lights mounted on the T-Top illuminate the deck and water around the boat, which is essential for night fishing, docking in low light, and general safety. The lights also improve visibility for crew working on deck or handling fish. A T-Top on a 34-foot center console is a practical addition that increases the boat's usable hours and operational flexibility.
What does the dive door provide, and who would use it?
The dive door is a transom-mounted opening that allows easy entry and exit to the water for diving, snorkeling, or swimming. It is typically used by recreational divers, snorkelers, and swimmers who want secure access to the water without having to climb over the gunwale or use a swim ladder. On a boat capable of offshore cruising, a dive door expands the boat's utility beyond fishing to include water-based recreation and exploration.
How is the head (bathroom) configured on the 34 CC, and is it suitable for extended trips?
The 34 CC includes a stand-up head with a toilet, electric macerator, "Y" valve for diverting waste, a holding tank, a sink, and a hand-held shower. This configuration allows you to use the head while underway and to manage waste responsibly through the holding tank system. The hand-held shower provides freshwater rinsing capability, which is useful for removing salt spray and fish blood during extended offshore trips. The stand-up design allows a person to use the head comfortably without excessive bending. For a 34-foot center console, this is a functional head setup that supports overnight and multi-day cruising.
What does the windlass system do, and why is it important on a center console?
A windlass is an electric or hydraulic winch mounted on the bow that raises and lowers the anchor. On a 34-foot center console, the windlass reduces the physical effort required to anchor, which is especially valuable when anchoring in deep water or when the boat is pitching in waves. A powered windlass also allows the operator to control anchor deployment from the helm, improving safety and positioning precision. For offshore fishing trips where you may anchor multiple times per day, a windlass significantly reduces crew fatigue and improves operational efficiency.
What fuel and water capacity does the 34 CC provide, and how does that support offshore range?
The boat carries 300 gallons of fuel in an aluminum tank and 64 gallons of fresh water in two poly mold tanks. The 300-gallon fuel capacity supports extended offshore runs, with actual range depending on cruising speed, sea state, and engine loading. The 64-gallon fresh water capacity supports the hand-held shower, galley use, and crew needs for multi-day trips. Aluminum fuel tanks resist corrosion from saltwater exposure, and the dual-tank fresh water system provides redundancy. For a 34-foot boat, these capacities are designed to support nearshore and moderate offshore fishing operations without requiring frequent fuel stops.
What does the 3-sided enclosure add to the 34 CC's functionality?
A 3-sided enclosure typically consists of removable or foldable panels that enclose the helm and forward cockpit area on three sides—port, starboard, and aft—while leaving the bow open. This configuration provides wind and spray protection while maintaining forward visibility and allowing air circulation. The enclosure extends the boating season by protecting the operator and passengers from cold wind and sea spray, making the boat usable in cooler months and rougher conditions. On a center console, a 3-sided enclosure is a practical upgrade that improves comfort and extends the operational window without significantly reducing the open-air feel of the design.
What type of buyer is the 2017 Buddy Davis 34 Center Console suited for?
The 34 CC is well-suited for offshore and nearshore anglers who value a dry, seaworthy hull and a boat equipped with modern electronics and fishing amenities. The triple Yamaha outboard package, Raymarine suite, and integrated fishing features—livewell, fishbox, rod storage, and tackle stations—support serious fishing operations. The stand-up head with shower and 64-gallon water capacity make overnight and multi-day trips feasible. The boat also appeals to recreational boaters who want a capable, fuel-efficient center console with good range and comfort features. The 34-foot size and beam of 10.5 feet provide a balance between offshore capability and trailering or marina-slip practicality. This is a boat for buyers who prioritize seaworthiness, electronics integration, and fishing functionality over cabin volume or luxury accommodations.
