You giys need to save the pennies another yr and move up to the 33 and be done with it.

Room for Stripper pole in cockpit

The low white windscreen was the only oprion for me on the 302 as I do not like windshields. My only complaint is that the windscreen s a little high or the bolsters are a little low. You can't see over the winscreen while crusing a slower speeds. I have raised my bolster and inch but need one more tobut need alum trualer don here too! make it good. I run the mags and can run 72 on gps in freshwater

Sounds like you have the boat I want! Need the mags so i can get rpms done for a 50 cruise :-)

Also like the screen vs shield!

I just really like to room of the 302 and the looks of the 29. Its a hard decision, I am also finding that it is hard to find one with everything i want in the price range too, most hae the 7.4 mpi and I would want mag at a min and would also like hyd steering, but its tuff to find it all. Good luck on your sale and search.

I looked at 28 and 29's but all have 27ish riding surface, not worth the move up IMO unless I can get 4 ft more to smooth ride to make a diff!

Thanks, you too

A friend had a pole between the hatches on his cig! Sweet!

Agree on the 33!! But it would be about 200000 pennies more than I wanted to spend, but love that boat!

There is a 98 29 Ol on eBay, is this look right? Looks like a lot of room between bench??

Thats not a bad looking boat actually, big stereo too.

Maybe because its only a "double axle" but, the trailer wheels look REALLY far back on the trailer?

Not a big differance in the 25 and 29 cockpit, the cuddy is longer in the 29 and I think that's it.

IMO from pics it looks like a pretty good difference from 25 OL to 29 OL for room between bolsters and back bench

A 29 with extension boxes will ride much better than one without.
I'm not pitching what I have for sale, I'm just sharing what my experience has been.
I've tinkered with mine to the point I know where & what it takes to make one perform.
I wouldn't want one without boxes. I would want one with a high X dimension. I would want one without superchargers. I would want a trailer with wheels & tires over-rated for capacity & brakes on all 3 axles. I would want one with full hydraulic steering & K-planes.
There are less expensive options out there, but what are you willing to sacrifice in boat to save & eventually be unhappy with because you saved a few grand?

I agree it's bigger, but its not much more is all I'm sayin! I've been on both and other than the bigger couches, and motors, not much of a differance.

Just my opinion.
