Converted baja Owner . .
 
Ok we have got rid of our 29 outlaw, twin 496 mags.. I realize if I want to go faster its better to go with a builder with faster hulls..

Now I dont have deep pockets and I have found quite a few
32's that "advetised" 80 MPH.. Looking to run mid 90's..

A - how does the 32 handles at 90+
B - Size compared to our 29 outlaw? same size? shorter?
C - How would a 32 ride in rough water compared to a 29 outlaw? We are LOTO boaters and the water there is sloppy to say the least every weekend...

Thanks!!

Overall lenght is about the same at the 29 Outlaw. Less space in the cockpit though. Not sure what you're budget is but I'd be looking for a clean 35 if I was coming out of a 29 Outlaw.

We came out of our Baja 33 Outlaw, which we really liked, a lot I might add, into the 42 Fountain, which is simply no comparison in speed, ride, comfort, looks, and resale. I suggest a 35' or38' Fountain, maybe 3-4 years old. Shop around, there are plenty that are well cared for, don't be afraid to travel, or to have your new boat shipped to you. Get a good boat survey. And then you'll never look back!! :)

Go to a 35. I went from a 29 Powerquest to my 35...you will be impressed with the stability of the hull. I've been in some big water with mine, and while the comfort of a 38 or 42 footer wasn't quite there, I wasn't tied to the dock either...plus it was a bit cheaper. In addition, it'll be tougher to find a 32 as they stopped making them a couple years ago.

I have 1993 35' that I haven't listed yet but will selling at a good price if your interested. It's in storage at Raymonds Marine.

I'd go with a 35 also because of the extra cockpit space and smoother ride. Fuel difference will be non noticable. I have no problem what's so ever trailering my 32. Can't see a 35' being any different for me. Then some people have issues towing 20'ers.

Let's see the list of 32's that have sank.


Maybe you should also look at AT's. :)

I had a 29 Outlaw for 6 years - put 550 hours on it - had the 454 mags 385hp. What a horid little machine. Totally unpredictable and uncontrollable at its top speed of 70 but it was good looking and had excellent resale. Get a 35 X. You can steal them now. Much nicer ride, looks, handleing - totally different world. Real happy with mine.

Go with the 35 if you can, had the 32, rough at LOTO.
The 35 rides great, and sits a lot better than a 32, had friend sink his to the bottom of the ocean, water in the back.
Good luck, and welcome to the 'Reggie side of life' :D

Reggie 12-10-2007 06:58 PM

I don't even think FOUNTAIN is making the 32 this year, so that might be something to think for resale......

What about the new 32'? Any news on it?
