Put the pedal to the metal and the range drops to well below 200 miles. Tiara does not offer optional increased capacity and adding extra tanks is not a very practical solution. The Tiara 2900 has a 19-degree deadrise at the transom, which makes for a smooth ride and good handling. Hydraulic steering is standard. The boats I have operated require nearly six turns of the wheel from hard over in one direction to hard over in the other and I feel the steering is a little sluggish.
Freeboard forward is low which can result is a wet ride particularly in short choppy seas.
Hydraulic trim tabs are standard equipment as are electric windshield wipers both of which you are likely to make good use of from time to time. This is only the seventh year of production for the Tiara 2900 and that's not much time to build a used boat market. However, there are usually one or two boats available for sale along the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coast. The market is strong and good clean used boats don't stay around long when they're priced right. Like with his Slickcraft models of the 1960s, with the Tiara 2900 and other Tiara models Leon Slikkers continues to set benchmarks for high quality construction and finish.
