So a 3' swim platform on a Fountain is longer than a 3' extension on a Nortech?
But I agree, Fountains are smaller than the same lenghted boats. My point was the repeatativeness of the comparisons and Fountain is always the bad guy.
My buddy has a 35' cafe. His boat is every bit of 10' longer then my 32'. Or so it seems when comparing the cabin to cabin space.
Besides, I think we all convinced itldo to hold out for a 35 over a 32. Wasn't that the topic?

I'm sorry for getting this started. I was not trying to say that Baja was not a real boat. I looked at several of them before I bought my Fountain. I personally do not think that they are on the same level, at least the ones I drove, as the Fountains I drove. They are a good boat for the money and you are right, the girls love Bajas. The part that got me going was this satement:
Comparing a boat with twin 500's to one with a single 525 is like comparing a cat to a vee. Of course the twin 500 boat is going to be faster. To come in to the Fountain section and make your first post talking about ruling a Fountain with a Baja rubbed me the wrong way.
Back to the reason of this thread:
I would save up and go with the 35. That is what I am doing. The extra length with give a better ride in the slop and if you get the 32 you will end up wanting the 35 anyway.

True, but also to some degree of repeatedly being backed in a corner. I don't think of RF as king, but as somone who deserves alot of credit for where we are today. He has a passion. Personaly, I really like my Fountain ( on my 2nd) and they both have been great and fit the bill. I don't see a 3rd Fountain in my future. Not that there is any thing wrong with them, just like a change. Not really much difference between a 27 and a 42.
I can see a Cig in my garage next.
