33 Baja outlaw vs 32 fountain fever
So I sold my checkmate 242 this spring. Had it a year and it's just way too small for what my wife and I want to do and too slow. Ive been doing my research and not getting all the answers I want. The 2 boats I seem to look at the most and leaning towards are are 33 Baja outlaw or a 32 fountain fever. This will be my first twin engine boat. I want speed but also want something to handle decent sized waves when needed. I plan to stay with fairly stock motors for reliability with the exception of probably exhaust. So what are the ups and downs between these boats? Any opinions and suggestions are welcome.

There is a bunch of fountain vs everybody threads even baja. Generally speaking fountain will be smaller and faster with comparable power. Most agree built better. Some argue that point. Baja of same size will be larger overall and inside. All in what you want.

never been on a 33 outlaw, cool looking boat ,the cockpit on the 33 outlaw is probably twice the size of the cockpit of the 32Fountain, I would think the 32 is 3-4 miles faster if they both have stock merc big blocks, you should take them both out for a ride and make up your own mind.both nice boats

Here is what I have learned after some practical experience and research on this site. Baja=dudes. Fountain=skanks. Formula=married people. If I were you, I'd look for a Formula 353. Probably close to the same running length as the Baja 33 outlaw, way more bells/whistles to keep your navigator happy.

I had a 33 outlaw prior to my Fountain. Its a great first performance style boat with a true 33 ft hull. Runs about 65-70 with 502s or 496s. Great ride, huge cockpit, very easy to handle at the dock even in a wind, and easy to tow. Forget the stabbing cabin, even thought its nice. Go find a secluded area and use that huge cockpit floor. We always did. 
32 Fountain will be faster but is considerably less comfortable. And usually the props turn in on these boats making them harder to dock.

Towing isn't a problem I'm a truck driver and have a crew cab dually Cummins. Docking shouldn't be a problem I use to dock my ex's dad's 50' sea ray in a corner dock that wasn't for that big of a boat.
