I could afford one of the just aforementioned with blue motors, but opted for the bigger boat instead of the higher HP.

Good friend of mine told me this about 100 times before I bought my boat "you can add more power, you cannot add more length"

Ask 5 different people and you'lll get 5 perfect boats!!! Where I live, I trailer hills and small back roads with my 31. Really wanted the 35, but after towing this, glad I didn't go 35. Now, if I were on flat lands, it would be a 35.

Guess what I'm saying.... It's all relative to where you live and boat and your comfort level in towing......

You would have said that on the 77' which was very slow. But did have a hot tub. Takes a lot of money and time to have a big go fast. :D :drink:

Nope not aslong as the wife keeps paying for the fuel.

I'm at 32 right now, but a 37-38 would be primo. Come on Sunsation and build that shrunk-down F-4.... :evilb:

Besides like the old saying....."it's not how big it is....it's how you use it".... ;)

I agree it depends on where you boat, I primarily go boating on lake Erie and half the time my 31' is too small, there's no such thing as to big.

I don't regret it, you just need to have or get a crew cab dually to pull it!
