I have never been in the boat, so, I cant speak for certain, but, the pic with 4 people standing up it appears the cockpit is pretty good size, again, cant say for certain. 37ft boat usually has a pretty decent sized cockpit, especially since the motors aren't staggered.

Just throwing it out there

Again.. depends what he wants.. sacrifice somewhere!! Happy with my 33 ol and get to keep my Baja shirts, hat and coozie!!! Though I need another sticker for the jeep!! :evilb:


You getting the hang of her yet? Big jump from a 25! I was looking to go up but decided I like what I have so the search is off! However, I am upgrading my RV so I'm excited !!!!

Didn't have any problems on my 2 outings .. lol.
Missed tickfaw due to nephew graduation then raining mothers day weekend so hopefully this weekend we will be on the water!!

I let my dad upgrade the RV.. they have a camp on the bayou so not sure why he bought the 42 phaeton and barely uses it, but I get to use it anytime I want.. though he lives just under 2 hours away my jeep has the tow bar attachment :whistle:

Been doing more tinkering.. new radio, 3 bank charger, cleaning and making sure everything works.. still need additional seating decided which direction.. (see other thread) and of course SEAT time!! :thankyouthankyou:

HUGE>>

size difference :) imagine adding the space from the back of the bolster to your dash on the 25ol.. Now add that between the bench and your bolster :evilb:

see pic.. there is still some room to the bench.. that box is a radio box that I was about to install..

I put my JUMBO fenders in the gunnel!

Steven720.... again.. my vote KEEP HER! Why give up this space!

mittens 05-15-2013 08:10 AM

I to store 2 8.5 inch fnders, and all my ropes in the gunnels.

wait... I can probably put some padding in there and the put the kids!! problem solved!!!:lolhit:

yes.. Huge space in Cockpit.. Not giving that up.. Can hold ice chest and still not in the way to walk around.

so big.. wife asked the first time we took it out why it was quieter than the 25ol.. so, I walked to the bench!

It was b/c we were so far a way from it now!! :hijack:

VOTE AGAIN>> KEEP HER!

Easy decision.
If you like to run fast not burn a ton of fuel and play in the ruff? Get rid of it fast. These boats (33-36) will beat you to death in the rough and fail apart.
If you like a cruiser with the go fast look keep it. They have tons of room and still look fast.

For myself best thing I did was dump my 36. It looked great but was a pig on fuel, speed, and couldnt handling the rough. Never wanted to go out of the bay. Great raft up boat but horrible runner.
