Depends on the model/length/boat-year Tollycraft you purchase. Look into many of the pictures in Yachtworld link I pasted into my previous post for you... there’s a whole lot to see!

Our 1977 34' tri cabin Tolly is easiest entered from floating dock via star board side slide door into large, well windowed and bright center salon (see avatar and picture). Can also be entered off swim step up a short ladder to rear main deck and then directly in through the master state room’s huge hatch/door... or by a short walk to the starboard slid door. It has a fully equipped up-galley. Private-door, center isled, double and single beds master stateroom to stern w/ full length slider windows on both sides, good sized hanging 2/3’rds height closet, big hatch/door, big draws in centered bureau, 4 huge under beds’ draws, plenty of shelving, and a big/full head with sliding window, deep/wide recessed med cabinet, and incorporated shower. Private door large forward V-berth w/ 2/3’rds height closet, under bed storage, shelves, hatch to forward deck, port hole, and a fair sized full head with recessed med cabinet, port hole and incorporated shower pan.

40’ Tolly tri cabin are the same basic layout as our 34’ tri but a bit larger inside and with a cockpit usually having rear entry door off swim step.

Reason we chose the extremely affordable 34 Tolly is many fold... one big reason is that it fits anywhere we go and still gives us ample room as stay-over accommodations to easily support up to six people for a weekend or a week. With just two or three it’s like having a self contained mini condo – that’s very seaworthy and we can swim off!

BTW – We can get right between 2.75 and 3 nmpg by running on one engine at a time and cruising at 6 to 6.5 knots water-speed (that = 1.58 knots less than its 7.58 calculated hull speed). Or, we can get there fairly fast by firing up the twins and cruising around 16 to 17 knots while still getting about 1 nmpg. WOT is 21 to 22 knots with way too many gpnm – lol!
