It has the look of a Bayliner.

It does, and it's single engine, not particularly desirable for close
quarters maneuvering with a high profile, flybridge design like that.
Once the wind catches you things get very dicey if you are near docks
and other boats.



The 34 does sorta have a Bayliner look to it, but I like some of their
other models.

Although single screw, the boat shown in the video had both bow and
stern thrusters which overcome some of the close quarter maneuvering
challenges. The single screw 36' Grand Banks we had was equipped with a
hydraulically powered stern thruster which was useful although it was
not particularly powerful. It was still fun learning "back and fill".

I understand that Beneteau boats have a very good reputation but I've
never been aboard one. I like this one though:

Why is there a target on each side of the hull?




Those are big, smoked glass windows that are in the master stateroom.
Here's another video where the guy is showing the boat internal areas.
(It starts out looking like the other video, but is different). He gets
to the main stateroom about 2/3rds of the way through the video.
