29Fever

I made a similar trade last year. I went from a 29' Fountain to a 302. I like the Baja for the room and ride (had a baby). I don't think the quality is as good as Fountain though. Mostly fit and finish. Nothing structual. The Baja is a much more comfortable boat to lounge around on. My wife hated how slanted the sun deck was on the Fountain. We both hated climbing up on the deck. The molded steps in the helm are awesome on the Baja!

The Baja doesn't get as much dockside appeal as the Fountain did, but it is much more practical. The only thing I absolutely hate on my 302 is the stupid rounded swim platform. Not an issue on the 33.

29fever,

I've got a '99 33 with HP500s (mine are carb'd). I can run 75 (gps) with a normal load. Boat rides and handles great. I've had no problems (other than normal stuff), and can't really think of anything major I would change.

I agree with Allan {cant believe i just said that!}
Baja got it perfect with the 33 Outlaw. It just looks "Right"

29 OUTLAW

Hey BRET,

If you want freeboard, you came to the right place (Baja). A few weeks ago I was bored, took this picture, and posted it. It’s the view I see when I sit in the bolster of my 29 Outlaw. Is this enough freeboard for you? (I’m 6’-0” also)

If you thought the ride in the
29 SST was good, you'll love the 33.

I own a 29, I have driven a couple of
33's, the 33's do ride better in the
rough stuff.

Bret, Ive ridden in the 33. Its a big boat feel. It rides bigger ,better and faster than mine 29. Its more of a flat deck than the bubble deck on the 29. Go fo it you will LOVE it I really like the 4 bolster look and the kids should like the bolsters instead of the back seat. I have talked several times to Rod Dash over the phone trying to work a trade before I bought the Cig and also have talked to him about re-powering the boat also. I trust his knowledge and would highly recommend him. He always take time to explain things and always returns calls and E-mails in a timely manner

Lets get your house rocked and taped though before you spend the rest of your money LOL

I HAVE A 97 322 WITH 600S, AND I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE BOAT.IT RUNS IN THE MID 80S AND IT HANDLES BIG WATER EXTREMELY WELL!!! TOM

I 've got a 94 32' which is basically the same hull with blower motors. Everyone I've let ride on it can not belive the "big boat" feel and handling. I've rode in a 35 fountian that felt like riding in a skate board. (I don't mean to start anything with the fountian guys)

29 OUTLAW

Here's another example of freeboard. Look closely at this picture. The 29 Outlaw in the background dwarfs the 32 Dominator in the foreground.
