X34 is a nicely built boat and with good performance, based on racing against one.
I don't know your age but take care not to buy the boat you wanted ten years ago rather than the one you might want in ten years time. I increasingly appreciate decent headroom, toilet space, accessibility of systems and engine plus manageable loads on ropes, an easy to move around in deck/cockpit and a steady ride in rough weather.
Much depends on where and how you plan to sail.

Hi Micaro, To start with this topic, and before you can reach me on my PM, hereunder is a summary of who I am and what I am looking for...
I've been sailing since I was a child in Britanny - France (here). My father owned classic boats and so did I (there). I raced on my monotype 7,50 and I have always looked for good performances. Every time I rented a boat, I have been disapointed by the performances. I like the finesse of a boat's helm, the balance of the hull, and I love adjusting the settings.
Well, at this stage of my message, you already guess I love X boats... Taht's why I'm thinking of buying one.
37 feet is a good size for me as It can be carried out by a single person. I found a 2005 one but she needs some cosmetics work. It don't seem to be structural but varnishes at least, + some work on the teck deck + new sails.
First questions are : You've been owning a X37 for a few years now, including maintenance. Would you recommend a X37 ? and why ?
Second question is : If you were about to buy one, What would you check first and second ?
Thank you !
