Opinions etc on 29 vs 32 etc..               >>> CLICK HERE FOR THE ORIGINAL THREAD <<<

I'm looking at upgrading from my Baja to something larger. Looking for a little newer, and a little bigger, and lower on the list would be a little more speed.

I like the fountains, and have heard the handling is very good.

I like the 29, because it would allow me to stay with a single engine, but the 32 gives a little more in the way of size, and probably stability in rough water. But I don't see it having much else in terms of ammenities....??

Just looking for opinions on both these boats, stuff I should look out for, years to avoid, perfect setups etc..

Thanks,

Duke

Neither the 29 nor 32 will have much of anything that you would call amenities, other than a small sink, cooler and portajohn. However, we have a covered slip with a lift and stay on ours every weekend starting mid May.
The 29 will have more space between the rear seat and bolsters. Most will tell you to look for a 35 over a 32. I might agree if you have the extra room and $$. But I really like mine.

$ is probably the deciding factor-as usual. The 32's have twins and aren't balanced as well as the 29 single. each step up in size does give a better ride, so it depends on your water. the 29 is safe and lands well but will fly more than the 32.

Thanks guys!

You're right, the Bank will decide how far I go, but if it's just ride, then I'll look more at a 29.

Is it just the 2005's and up that have the rounded glass windshield?

I 'thought' the glass was an option over the plexy windshields. Don't really know for sure.

From what I can see, the older boats came with glass as an option that jutted up at a severe angle, the newer one's have it as an option that sweeps back a lot nicer.
