Ya i spoke with him today and he said he lowered it on Monday. I would have held out the boat is awsome and and that price a very good buy I feel.

So would a 312 Fastech. Better ride, heavier boat, great handling. It will hold up better in the long run also!

A 312 is a comparable ride and length to a 30 Outlaw. A 33 OL will ride better in the rough.

I would like to throw my 35' into the wave crushing contest. It will eat water, not blow up drives, be reliable. Run 72 drives out and 75+ drives in.
Plus its pure cigarette and looks sexy.

Man, he just got that boat all redone... That certainely seems like the buy to be making. I was parked next him last Aug. at the OSO party on Fri P.M. at dog days and that thing looked pristine (I actually talked to the guy for a few minutes about the new paint and all the upgrades).

That one shouldn't last long..

I don't think so Griff, the 312 weighing more than the 33 has a very comparable ride, and with same power is 7-8mph faster. Granted the single step helps, but overall hull design has to have something to do with it too.

A 312 is 3.5 feet shorter than 33 outlaw. You need the length to span and stay on top of the waves. A 312 is listed as weighing about 500lbs more than 33OL. 500lbs is the difference of an extra 80 gallons of fuel and not that significant.

Usually I'm a firm believer in longer is better, but
after driving Eddie's before he owned it, and the 312 we traded for last fall, both with 496s, 375hp, I'd still say the 312
would be my choice between the two models, JMHO.:ernaehrung004:

I think a lot of it might come from "feel" since the 33 OL cockpit is HUGE and open and being more forward in the boat.

Now you need to come for a ride in the AT and put them both to shame:D:D

I'll take you up on that invite anytime, I'd love to take a ride in your boat, next time your down we need to hook up.:ernaehrung004:

I'd take the OL for ride over the 312. I'd take the 312 for quality. Not knocking Formula. I own one, but basically you are comparing a 29 foot boat to a 33 foot boat. Been in both, the OL will ride better. Neither are fast hulls.

How about a 2001 Baja 342 w 496HO's?
I can take the 25 on trade in.

Even has Gen and Air!

Yeah, its seems like the only time we run into each other is docked at the bar. We're gonna be down with the kids for a week June 12-19. I'll make a run up to your office one day during the week:ernaehrung004:

I hope not I bought the lift its on:ernaehrung004: He just ordered his new Mastercraft ski (why I have no idea) just kidding I do know, but it is a great boat for the money and a great boat to drive as well. It takes the big water very very well. I know I will miss riding, and driving it. You must have got my spot at the party I had to give up when mine broke last year. Who ever gets it will not be disappointed thats for sure.

Cool, I'm off sun/mon, any other day I'll be here.:ernaehrung004:
