Default 30-33' powerboats?

Not planning on this happening anytime soon but I like to dream and have something to look forward to. That being said, I love my 25 Outlaw but I obviously want to eventually upgrade to twins at some point and would appreciate any opinions. I think my next boat will need be in the 30-33' range due to driveway space and budget. I have looked at the 30 Outlaw, 33 Outlaw, 32 Sunsation Dominator and 32 Active Thunder. I like all of these boats however I am concerned with some of the older models needing motor upgrades soon after purchase. Are there any other models I should be looking at? What are your opinions of the listed boats? We mostly boat on a smaller lake with occasional trips to LOTO. I know that even a boat that size will not quite be adequate for LOTO but it will be better than what I have now. Thanks in advance.

+1 on the 33 PowerPlay. Also, a 30 Activator is a pretty mean boat that can handle rough/choppy waters, but it is more of a sit-down (single-engine) style boat.

I am looking in that size, need it to handle the gulf, and want twins....here is what we are shopping or have found that seem to be great soild boats.

31' Sonic
32' Sunsation
33' Donzi ZX (boat is a big 33 though)
35' Fountain ( running surface is on par with low 30' boats)
35' Hustler
32' Active Thunder

All seem to be in a near price range of one another give for take for fit and finish of some boats.

I have spent a lot of time on a Donzi 33zx and it definitely is the biggest 33 out there both in size and feel. It runs like a 38.

Don't forget about the 30' Cigarette as well.

Only issue here is they are like gold. I think the cheapest one around is still over $70. Beautiful boat though.
