+1 or even a 336 or a older 382,,i really dont like the boats with steped hulls,,to me they feel sloppy..i would take freeboard any day of the week..you want to go faster just add boost lol..

I love my 33 zx with grate head room two beds ac/heat bathroom mic fridge cooktop and with my 500 hp efi's can still run in the upper 70's low 80's. and the deals r out there I got mine last year for 55 k. and for it handling big water I was out in 5 to 6 footers and was cursing around 60 65 and the boat loved it. and on the grate lakes that is 5 to 6's that r all over the place and some close and then some far apart.

No kidding. 500hps push that to upper 70's low 80's. That is a monster of a boat to begin with.

I don't think I'd want to go for that ride!

yeah I know. 70mph performance on a 7500lb boat dry weight with small blocks on my 292. Steps have their purpose.

Your right, I was thinking I would be in the 50k range for a 28 with scorps. If I could find a low hour, good condition 33 for a little more it would cure the 3footitis and I wouldn't be too concerned running that in the ocean. Maybe I should change the title to " any good deals on a 33zx out there".

Thanks!

I am not selling... I bought an older 33 Crossbow that eats up the rough water. If you get one with the right power you will not break any speed records but you won't be last in a run either. LOL... Price wise I don't think you can beat a 33. (But this is just my opinion.)

this one is priced fare and there might be a little wiggle room with the price.
