If I were still in a V the 33AVH would most likely be my ride. For ocean running I dont think its even a question.
Let us know, Im really looking forward to seeing the 33 built.

32 Dominator SS. Deep; headroom; enclosed head; etc. Probably much faster and with the Innovaotr bottom will crush the snotty stuff relative to a 32 footer of course.

The AT without question.

Nothing against Sunsation, the AT is just a lot more boat.

Seems like apple and oranges comparison to me. The AT is a bigger boat and carries a bigger price tag, at least the last time I checked. I love Sunsations build quality and factory support. But the 32 Sun is a much smaller boat than the 33 AT, and also much smaller than the old 32 AT.

There are 3 different Sunsation 32' boats.

SS
Dominator
Innovator

The Dominator and Innovator are sweet boats. I have been on/in/around both of them. The SS is new and RADICAL. I really like what Sunsation has to offer, but have not had any experience in the 32SS from Sunsation to base comparison. You must compare the 32SS to a 32/33AT. They are both DEEP V's with enclosed heads, tall cabin, lots of amenities, and etc. There are the closest to apples to apples. The Innovator and Dominator are a narrower beam, and shallower cockpits. Both can actually perform VERY well with a single 750+ HP engine. You know my vote already (AT), but make an educated decision.
