Relatively speaking that's up for debate.

Nauti Kitty... could you run your 32' in that stuff at a reasonable rate (45-60 mph) without having a huge a55 pucker the entire time? Or, are you not able to go out if the waves are >4'. Unfortunately, the kids do not like to run in the big stuff, so we are looking at different options. I am trying to get an idea if a 32' cat is way too small for Lake Michigan. I am considering something a bit smaller, so that we can hit some of the smaller lakes and trailer the boat easier. Mostly kicking tires at this time, but looking for educated opinions on this matter.

A 32 cat from anyone is going to limit the amount of days you can go out on Lake Michigan and it isn't the best kids boat. 1-2 you are ok anything above that gets uncomfortable. The main difference between the cats and the v's is that if it is rough you can trim the v down and run 40-60 and be ok. The cats really need to get on top to run. There is little middle ground. You are either going like mad or going really slow.
On calm water they are the cats ass. Good luck NK

Got 97.1 out of it but no ideal waters and fuel load yet... same speed in 1ft as in 5 footers...The other rig hit the faster speeds in about 2-2.5 footers so we will see.

Rides very stable at high speed in 4+ feels less flighty than the Bravo boat, might be cause it's heavier in the rear end with the bigger mills , drive and the transmissions.

I think breaking those drives might be a serious challenge...

Awesome. Less flighty probably because you stay better hooked up with the 6's. Glad to hear all is well. See ya in key west. NK
