I have raft it off a 32 Sunny Dominator with my 32 Fountain,,,sorry but same size boats with built in swim platforms on both,,same tight cockpit in both and my cabin is a little bigger,,Fountain is a little faster with a real step were the 32 dominator has fake steps called vortech,,hull and deck on the Sunny is bonded were the hull and deck on the Fountain First get an adhesive(plexus) & are glued together, glassed & thru-bolted.
at the end of the day you and only you can decide which boat works for you...

by the way your 32 Sunsation is 31' 7" long including the built in swim platform so what is the true size of it?


I dont care either way,,just trying to keep it real...

Pre 06 model sunny your rafted with not the twin step model, big difference in ride and room. Also you going to tell me a 32 fountain will run 90 plus with 500's in it LOL

I understand ,,thats why I said 32 Dominator ==pre 06

but your boat ,,32 Sunsation ssr is 31' 7" long including the built in swim platform so what is the true size of it? 29' 5"? maybe 30'?
and the hull and deck on the 32 Sunsation ssr is still just bonded...

Don't have to gloat your cabin. I have a Sonic 358....it's ALL cabin and extras lol....but I wanted ride, cabin, and turn key over overall speed when I bought this boat. Now that has changed and that is the reason for the sale.
Nate5.0 you pretty much hit the nail on the head, turn key and fas as possible. Cabin is a concern but small one. I'm not a big guy so I'm not real worried about the size. I understand I'm only looking at 32-35 boats so I'm not expecting the world in cabin size.

Haven't looked at them but I will now. Thanks for the suggestion.
