Mind you I dont hve a "big" boat....Ive always had BIG trucks...12-20" of lift and I drive them because I LIKE them not cause I have a small penile organ and am compensating.

I want a bigger boat cause well....they are cool and bigger sunpads are obviously AWESOME!
Well what was meant as a joke to most, seems to have struck a nerver with some (or at least one).... Hmmmmm small man parts???

And for the record, if you read my post, you will see it was a reply (quote was included) to Powerplay J's comment/joke "Bigger boat = bigger ego." Might want to do a search for the humorless section SBX if you cannot see the joke.....

What advantage do you get to run a boat longer than ~30 feet?

Thanks for the info all.

Well what kind of lakes are you talking about? Great Lakes... LOTO.. They can make a 30' boat wet it's pants and run for cover.

Pro's lot's more room, lot's more comfort and the ability to go with much bigger power

V's up to 38 are pretty easy to trailer and launch. Storage and gas is pricey once you go above 30'. Figure out your needs/wants and buy what you really want. Having a bigger boat opens up a bunch of possibilities...

I have always had single engine sport boats, but I am really contemplating stepping up myself. However I am looking to go from a single Big Block to twin O/Bs strapped to the back of a Center Console w/small cuddy. Just seems like a more practical solution for my boating purposes......

I personally like cats, and think the best size for west coast lakes is 32-33. I have a 38 and its a hassle to launch and dock. Plus, it's 10'4 wide and trailering it takes getting used to. But, it is rock solid at 130 MPH with lots more to go!
