I have a 98, 32’, and it is a very light boat for 32’ & to tell the truth, that was probably the deciding factor in buying the boat. But, "I" do most of my boating on lakes with, typically, smoother water than you will probably see. So for me it was perfect. The light hull out runs other boats with the same power, I think the next lightest is Fountain @ 7200lb. At least that’s what my friend claims, he has one and I have a good 4mph on him (same year & same exact power), I believe it’s the weight difference. The thing’s a rocket. As for rough seas the worst I have been in was 5’ @ lake mead when a storm rolled in, with the drives and the tabs mostly down it handled the waves pretty well (about 50mph into), but with that much trim it does tend to bow steer a bit which I didn’t like. As far as the hull, it’s pretty solid, do a little research, because I can’t remember everything they do. But I do know they use ¾”bulsa as a core which makes it strong & light. Even when I launch & get some good air there’s no rattling. I’ve never spent much time in a Baja, so I can’t do any real comparison there. I don’t want this to sound like a sales pitch, but I will say one more thing, I’ve owned 7 boats, this one is the most enjoyable to drive, every one wants to get behind the wheel. I have put about 500 hours on it, with no real complaints yet. I guess it all depends on what you want, like you said the heaver the boat the better it’s going to handle the big stuff.
