2020 Solace 34' _{(10.36 m)} 345 CC

Additional Information

A singular fishing machine with its focus on efficiency, comfort and innovation. From the broad scope of building materials and processes to the radical design elements, top-notch metal fabrication, fit and finish, and fine-tuned—and often reinvented—features and accessories, the 345 epitomizes forward thinking, and states loudly that boatbuilder Stephen Dougherty and his team have set their sights on taking the fishing-boat market by storm. The Solace’s use of space is also commendable. The gunwales hold stowage for tackle, fenders and other cumbersome items, leaving the three insulated in-deck compartments with overboard discharge—an 80-gallon forward and twin 68-gallon in the cockpit to port and starboard—as dedicated fish boxes. A pair of above decks compartments and a filler bridge at the forward end provide wraparound bow seating. Full-height backrests add comfort, while magnets, instead of snaps, keep cushions in place, allowing easy removal to turn the seats into casting platforms. Dual lounge seating on the forward console features backrests that stop just short of the tempered glass windshield, which opens fully or partially on hydraulic actuators. It’s designed as an integral part of the hardtop, which is bolstered by a carbon-fiber support structure and incorporates a hydraulic sunroof, storage hatch, LED lighting, and mounting space for dual VHF radios, an engine-monitoring display, and a switch panel that backs up CZone switching integrated with dual 17-inch MFDs on the dash, where said displays, plus the optional stereo and other electronics sit behind a lockable panel. Just below, the steering wheel, trim-tab switches, throttle, 12-volt charging station, two smartphone induction charging mounts, and standard joystick control lineup with the center seat in the trio of Billfish chairs on Shockwave S5 mounts. For added comfort, the floor at the helm hydraulically rises up to 10 inches to fit the skipper’s height. A pantograph door provides entry into the cabin—cooled by a 6,000 Btu air conditioner—inside the console, where you find wood cabinetry with storage, counter and sink, marine head with macerator, 110-volt outlet, two USB ports, microwave oven, settee seating that turns into a bed, and a rack to store nine 7-foot rods upright. The Fish Thru transom, which extends between and beyond the motors, adds to the overall length (38 feet total), and provides clearance at the transom for fighting fish—or even changing or clearing props on the water. A transom door makes it easy to pull big fish aboard or access the swim platform. Rocket launchers in the motor wells keep three rods at the ready-to port and starboard. Slightly forward, a pair of 42-gallon pressurized live wells with tuna tubes are fed by a custom sea chest. Just inboard, two benches—angled to widen the cockpit—offer aft seating for four or fold out of the way. A workstation in the back of the helm seats includes storage, a sink, dual fridges and a grill, and a retractable shade covers the entire cockpit. Bow and stern anchor lockers, a through-stem anchor system with windlass, coaming pads, toe rails, outriggers, two kingfish-style angled rod holders and 10 flush-mounted, an eight-rod rocket launcher on the hardtop, racks for three rods on both gunwales and a pair of 30-amp plugs for downriggers or electric reels are also noteworthy features.
