Is anybody familiar with this boat? I am considering purchasing it and have heard some negative reviews. Thank you.

Not familiar but took a quick look. At a claimed 7000# for a hull that is 35' long and 10'4" wide, I'd be concerned about the overall strength of construction. For comparison, an Ocean Sport Roamer that is 33' long with a 10' 9" beam weighs 13,500 lbs and a Tomcat (25'6" x 8'6") weighs around 5400lbs (hull only). The Ocean Sport roamer is built like a tank (and IMHO is way over priced) but if you look at other similar sized fiberglass boats they will generally weight quite a bit more than 7000#.
That makes me think that the hull must be thinner with less overall structure than most boats. Given that I don't see claims on their website about exotic materials or methods of construction to make the hull strong, I'd be nervous.

A discussion on this site about the TT35: http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=23853&highlight=tt35
I have talked to several owners. Some like them and some were not at all happy. The owner of the company has threatened me for posting my opinions on this boat and some of the other boats of his line.
I would not buy one.

IMO, the ugliest boat I’ve seen.
