You will get a much better ride out of the 35!

The 35 is a lot more boat than the 32. Ride and handling is worth the extra money to find a trailer for the 35. All depends on what you are looking for, drive both.

32 all the way!!!!!!!!


















Somebody has to start to stand up for the 32's, it's not like they are the red headed step child.

Red headed step child, thats some funny #hit. +1 on the 32 works well for me & easy to trailer.

Your dilemma is more of a money question than a hull question. You can figure about $10k more for a trailer for the 35, and depending upon your boating needs, a trailer might be necessary.

I've driven and ridden in a few boats on Lake Michigan in some fairly rough water. I would describe my 35 as a "driver's" boat...its long enough that you don't get smacked around too bad on a 2' day (bridges nicely), but anything over that, and you are going to be flying. The boat flies VERY level with the drives at 3-1/2 pins and a little tab...its also very sensitive to adjustments in trim.

go with the 35 because it is faster big and rides better the 32 sits to low to the water and in the back water can splash into the engine compartment
