We love our 33 Outlaw... Straight bottom and hull is 33' plus the 2' alum platform. We go out in the gulf and ran into 3-4s with the occasion 5' rollers when a storm blew in. We had 9 people seated in cockpit (6 adults, 3 kids) and we ran about 35-45 plowing through and kids weren't even scared. Handles 2-3's with ease and we don't run hard.

I think a 30' boat is good for the Chesapeake Bay. If it's too rough for a 30, stay home or duck into a river. If you have the means to go bigger, sure

Ive had a 20-22ft boats, a 26ft boat and a 29. I can tell you high 20s is big difference between low 20s. Now so sure your going to see a huge difference between 27-30 unless deadrise is different. Really if it were me Id be looking at 27-30, and if not 35-40.
