34ft John Gladden Launch
Boat Name: Halcyon
Features
Classic John Gladden – Turn-Key Family Cruiser. At first glance, she’s a classic John Gladden launch. Look closer and you’ll find a seriously upgraded, turn-key cruiser where the hard work has already been done. This 34ft double-diagonal kauri launch, glassed over, is a reluctant sale due to the owner’s father’s health. Well cared for and thoughtfully upgraded, she’s an ideal family cruising boat — comfortable, economical, and easy to handle.
Engine:
• Cummins 250 BTA Turbo Diesel – fully rebuilt to zero hours
• Over $50,000 spent with all new parts
• Rebuild completed September 2025
• Only 25 hours run, including dyno tune
• Receipts and history available This is not an overhaul — it’s effectively a new motor in a proven hull, offering rare peace of mind.
