Bavaria Motor Boats 35 Sports Hardtop Review
The newest of the BMB range is the 35 Sports Hard Top, and just like the 37, it's a sleek, stylish vessel. The 35 has an overall length of 11.4m compared with the 11.84m of the 37.The Bavaria reputation for fine fit-outs is well known throughout Europe and its motorboats keep up the tradition the company has established with its yachts.

This Hard Top 35 is a sports boat with a cruising twist. You can order the 35 as an open-sport boat and save a few bucks, or go for the more popular hard top.The advantage of a hardtop is it extends your boating season, because the cockpit area is undercover.
