PARADOX 10-18-2009 08:00 PM

hotjava66 ! looking for new? or used? what your price range?
I have the 33' Avanti up for sale. Headrooom is like the Sonics but there are still planty of comfort for overnighting. We done it several times. I used to boat in the big pond and all I can say is get the biggest you an get.
The Avanti is a true 33 footer plus the swim platform with twin 525's Mid 80's. Great rough water boat, and WILL turn heads. But it's a year old so it's priced accordingly. 160K with try axle trailer.

Sounds like your describing a Sunsation 32SS/SSR Dominator. Ride quality is excellent, plenty of freeboard and with a full head, plenty of room and amenities in the cabin for an overnight stay. Not to mention with stock 496hos, the boat will run low 80s all day long.
Good luck with your search; maybe you should expand your search to Sunsation before you make a decision.

I second the Sunsation 32SS. Sounds like it'll fit your needs perfectly!

The great lakes? Get as much hull as you can period. I can vouch for the 33' PP. I ran it in Long Island Sound, plenty of chop and snot and it handled it like a dream.

[QUOTE=baja27;2975216]With the boats mentioned the Powerplay will be the best handling boat, the donzi will be the best room in the cabin. That being said I will have my PP 33 for sale very soon which is a very customized. I also have children that I take out every weekend durning the summer and never really have to worry about the water condtions. Do your self a favor and search PP about the build quality and ride you will not be disapointed.
I will be boat shopping in the dc/baltimore area first week of november, if its for sale i could take a look.

I have my 1990 32' A/T for sale as well. Having fresh 482cid NA engines built as well speak by Dave Wesseldyk. It is worth taking a look at.....and I am in the Grand Rapids area. I will send you a PM. Mark

Look @ the 28 Active Thunder in the classifieds.....it will be as much boat as any 30' on the water...mint condition, twin 350magMPI's are super efficient; and w/Bravo's its bullet-proof. Superior ride in the rough!
