What year 33 are you looking at? All pre 2000/01 have some handling challenges like turning outside lean and porpoise after 80 MPH. The newer 33's have a great bottom that works very well. All that said, I got caught on a bad day once at Mead in mine and we got the crap beat out of us and could not get on top of it..... The 33 is no wave crusher by any means.
What did Bob change on the 33 to take the porpoise out and outer lean in the turn?

The 28 daytona leaned out on low speed turns, under power at high speed they leaned in. Does the old 33 not lean in at high speed?
