32 fever or 35 lightning
 
so i am hearing mixed reviews here and maybe some of you guys can clarify it up a 1994 35 lightning old school non stepped hull is a better boat than a 1995 stepped 32 fever in the chop and the ride quality is better in which boat also the cockpit area is about the same size or a huge sizeable difference between the two? whats the pros and cons and which one would you rather have

32 will be faster by a few mph, the 35 will have a few more inches between the bolsters & back bench.... The majority of the added room is under the hatch & is very, very helpful if you plan on doing your own maintenance. Also very noticeable difference in the ride quality,not that 32 rides poor it's just a nice difference!!!

Somewhere in hell Lucifer is making a guy work in the engine compartment on one for eternity.

Which is exactly what it felt like last weekend in FL working on mine.

I'd rather have the 35.

on the 32 you will have to crawl over the windshield or go out the hatch to tie up or use front anchor. The walkway on the 35 makes life alot easier.

No question on the 35... 32 has the same cockpit as the 29, and not near the ride in the waves.
