I note that the SS35 has only 5" more length than the outgoing SS33. My question is, does the SS35 have a bigger or smaller cockpit i.e., longer or shorter? I'm aware of the increased 7" in beam.

The cockpit in the 350SS is larger than that in the 330. The 34'5" length of the 330 includes the extended swim platform which was an additon to the orignal hull/swim platform.

Cockpit on the 35 is the same dimensions as the cockpit on the 37. It is a noticeable size difference between the 33 and 35 when you go on the boats.
