Owner Experience Review
Owners of 340 Amberjackuse it hard for both sportfishing and family weekends. The in-deck livewell, large cockpit, and fishbox support serious fishing days, while the cabin, galley, and single head make quick overnights practical. The 13'5" beam translates into generous working space and ergonomics in the cockpit, and several owners say it "has the feel of a boat much larger in size." A recurring quirk is visibility: some report the top of the windshield frame sitting right in the sightline at the helm.
On the water, the deep-V and wide beam give the 340 Amberjacka composed, bigger-boat stance in chop, staying stable even when conditions get sloppy. Multiple owner reports cite cruising at roughly 20–22 knots with top speeds around 34 knots, though actual numbers vary by engine and prop selection. The tradeoff is a ride that can be quite "wet," with bow spray common when pushing through a head sea.
Maintenance feedback centers on saltwater wear points and routine cooling-system care. Owners frequently mention manifolds/risers and exhaust hardware as items to watch for corrosion and leaks, and there are reports of transmission/oil coolers and heat exchangers causing water-in-oil symptoms if neglected. Raw-water pump impellers and seawater strainers come up as recurring service items, and one forum estimate put replacement of all four heat exchangers/coolers at around $700. A helpful feature is that the bridge deck can be raised electrically to improve engine access during inspections and service.
Pros and Cons
- Versatile for sportfishing and weekend cruising, with an in-deck livewell, large cockpit, and fishbox.
- Deep-V hull and 13'5" beam deliver confident handling and a bigger-boat feel in chop.
- Electrically raised bridge deck provides easier engine access for maintenance.
- The hull can run "wet," with spray over the bow in sloppy seas.
- The top of the windshield frame can interfere with forward sightlines at the helm.
- Cooling and exhaust components (manifolds/risers, heat exchangers, coolers, impellers) demand proactive inspection, especially in saltwater use.
