The newly redesigned Venture 34 Forward Seating is stoutly built to take on big water and maximize the performance of today’s powerful outboard engines. Larger, beefier stringers and an extended transom accommodate twin- and triple-engine configurations. When powered by twin Yamaha F350 four-stroke V-8 engines, the Venture 34 FS runs to a top speed of 56 mph. The boat’s highly efficient hull design and 350-gallon fuel capacity provide excellent range, especially at a cruising speed of 38 mph. Built at the company’s manufacturing facility in Stuart, Florida, the Venture 34 FS measures 34 feet long and offers an impressive amount of storage. The boat features a 188-gallon fish box on the centerline in the cockpit and a 55-gallon livewell in the transom. An optional in-floor livewell is also offered. Rocket launchers, rod holders and a variety of T-top and hardtop configurations are also available for the customer to configure. Seating options on the Venture 34 FS include forward seating, seating centerline of the front console, aft seating, multiple leaning post configurations, and rear-facing seats or helm chairs. Custom helm ergonomics are offered to suit captains of all sizes. The large dash panel can accommodate multiple 17-inch display screens, and an optional head with air-conditioning is offered under the center console pod. (954) 377-3900;
