Welcome aboard TF
We love our MS 34 - great boat for a cruising couple and should be great for the area you intend cruising.

I don't know much about the Perkins so can't help there - you may get some input from folks here at TF. Be sure to do a few searches to see what info already exists here. The usual caveat re: boat and engine survey certainly apply with something that age. Also lots of info here on DIY surveys - not to replace a professional but to narrow the options and avoid survey $ for one with some obvious defects you'd prefer to avoid.

Another good resource if you haven't found it yet is boatdiesel.com lots more engine specific info there. You should be able to search w/o joining but you are restricted in what you can download. The fee to join is nominal and well worth the price of admission.
