How the hell is the 36 running surface shorter ? They're both straight vee 24 dead rise non notched hulls. I mean, if you park them right next to each other is the 33 longer? Where's the lost length ? Which cig hill was the 36 copied from? Mistress 35'?

I see it mentioned here that the 36 is a wave crusher? I think you guys need to ride in more boats if tyke think that is the case. It's not bad, but not impressive for a 36 ft boat IMO. Keeping nose down and cutting in big water just doesn't work, k planes down.

Top side they are the same boat, the 36 adds some cabin and a little more room in the engine bay. If I had to choose again I would take the 33.

The 35, a liner boat, is a better design IMO. Notched transom, lighter, glass cabin floors with removable carpet. And most have more tasteful paint schemes. If you can afford it, I would look hard at the 35

I would think actual running surface is less with rocker hull carrying the bow more then the 33, just what makes sense to me, my 35 Cig is rocker hull, carries the bow very well, less boat in the water hence running surface..My 32 Baja Force rode very bow heavy...
