Hello forumites. I'm looking for a Moody 346 or possibly 34 in the spring.
Looking at those recently for sale, I notice many of the 34s have a metal strip/trim on the port quarter; a 90 degree, conformal piece of stainless steel(?). It only seems to be on the port side, not symmetrical (something with which I might struggle, aesthetically!), and not on every boat.
Can anyone shed some light on the purpose, and why it's not present on all boats? Is it an elective addition, a repair, strengthening? Does it cover some weakness or failure? It would be good to know before starting the viewing/survey process.
Many thanks for any replies.
