Purpose-built for those who want it all, the Hydra-Sports 3500 VX delivers offshore muscle with express cruiser luxury. Her Kevlar-reinforced hull and 23° deadrise deep-V design translate to a solid, confident ride, even in sporty conditions. The wide beam and intelligent deck layout create generous space for both serious fishing and entertaining. Below deck, a full express cabin with comfortable overnighting accommodations for two couples. The VX remains one of the most capable 35-footers in its class.

The grid system is Kevlar-reinforced FRP bonded to the hull using methacrylate adhesive. Integral composite transom. All through-hull fittings are bronze below the waterline, and stainless steel above. Flat deck surfaces are white premium gelcoat with contrasting diamond-patterned molded non-skid areas. One-piece 14” stainless steel bow rail tapers at midship. Large FRP hardtop with painted non-skid top on 3” welded tube legs (powder-coated white).
