Question Need opinions and be open

I presently have an 04 29 ft and when shopping I was looking at a 01 32 ft. I went ahead with the 29, very low hours (14) and new conditon. As you all know bigger is better but is a 32 better than my 29' with the single 525?

There's an 01 32 with twin 500 EFI's and I was thinking of going after it. Is this a good move on my part or should I just hold out for another year or two and then just go after
the 35'?


Any and all thoughts are appreciated, so don't hold back

Personally I would wait and jump to the 35'..........the 29 is a great boat and performs awesome with a single. If you jump to the 32', other than speed I think you will not find it to be that much different nor bigger than what you have but the 35' will be a nice jump for you. Good luck with your decision, nice position to be in I suppose too...........................

Wait for the 35. Or if you don't have to have new, look around at all the great deals on used boats and maybe pick up a used 38 or 42.

Ditto what everyone else said, wait for the 35. 32 isn't much bigger, much tougher to wrench on, and if I remember right has way less cockpit room than the single engine 29.

Dude- First of all a 32 is night and day different in ride and handeling than a 32 It is far more boat! Still I would wait for a 35 in some cases you might find a 35 priced near a 32. Deffinately better to go to the 35. If you do not want to go that big a 32 is a fine boat. Very good handling, fast, will lay down the rough a lot better than your 29. my 2000 32 fever was a very fun boat. my 2cents.
