Looking for some input here. I sold my 283 checkmate and I am in the market for a 32-35ft. I mostly boat on inland lakes in upstate ny and a couple times a year on Lake Ontario or Erie. I want something that my wife and 4 yr old can overnight in a few times a year, my wife would really like something that handles rough water well so she enjoys poker runs with me. I would like something that does around 80. I am not too interested in a Baja they just don't do it for me. I have looked an older 33 powerplay the cabin was too low and cockpit area was too small. The 35 fountains are nice but cabin would not work for 3 of us. I have been thinking of 32AT but can't find one. This 34 sutphen www.lagovistamarine.com I really like and I'm thinking about making a road trip to check it out. What do you all think?h

80 mph, full cabin, 50k.... Think that's gonna be tough for something that's not ragged out and in need of serious love.

Fwiw, I'd start looking at formulas if I was u

The Sutphen is a great boat. Certainly take care of your rough water requirement. A little bare bones as an overnighter. But classic and for those who know, you have a well respected boat history there.

It's a touch more but there is that White, blue, and yellow Sonic in the Classifieds if it hasn't sold yet.

Not quite 80mph but has everything else he is looking for.

It is a slightly tall task at 50k.

0 I've been out there closer to $100k and 90% of them have to be checked out real good!Good luck!

Take a look at a Cigarette Bullet, nice cabin for overnighting, great in rough water.. Only draw back is the cockpit is a little small. Worth a look though.

You can get a nice Scarab 33 avs for around that number. They would fit the bill pretty well. A bullet is going to take big power to get around 80, so is the 35 sonic for that matter. The sonic is hard to beat for overnighting though.

Never been in one but isn't the cabin on par with a fountain size wise?

Depends on the fountain. A 33 also has the swim in the LOA, compared with my 32 length of the cabin seems about the same but the 33 feels bigger.

Higher and wider. As just about anything in that size range engine room is tight. The 33 would be a good one to look at.

I was always a fan of the 33 AVS just never been in the cabin area.
