I have a 35 MK I. Do you literally mean a boom tent with the boom as a
high point and the edges tied down to the rails? If you mean something
like a big sun/rain shield spread out with poles, I have one in my shed.
It was not custom made for the boat, I think my father got it in the
1970s and it is a big rectangle of cloth with two aluminum poles. One
pole is split and the cover has a velcro slot so it can extent aft past
the topping lift/halyard on the end of the boom.We actually don't use it
very often since we got the Bimini. On the plus side it provides a lot
of shade. On the minus side it takes some time to put up and I would
NEVER leave it up at anchor with the boat unattended unless there was
exactly 0% of storms. It is a lot of windage and tends to yank boat boat
at an angle on the anchor and pop it free assuming it even lasts long
enough to do that before shredding.
You can see it here

we have it forward of the topping lift.
