I think my husband and I are your west coast equivalents. We've been looking at early 34's on the west coast for a bit and currently have an '87 under contract. Next Thursday we have our survey & sea trial. Thanks for your post as now I will pay extra attention to the interior of the galley cabinets, one of the few spots I didn't scrutinize when we viewed the boat a couple of weeks ago.
Best of luck on your search!
