need a bigger boat, oppinions please
 

I am new to boating and have a 25 outlaw.Like the boat but just not big enough for LOTO. I like the 33 outlaw, cockpit is like a dance floor. 32 sunsation has ausome looks and in my oppinion one of the best looking interiors.Anyone who has owned, rode, or drove either of these models that has any info on how they ride and handle the rough LOTO water is appreciated.

The 33 Outlaw will ride MUCH better than a 32 Sunsation in the LOTO slop and is 2-3 feet bigger when you include the swim platform. In smoother water with equal power the Sunsation will be faster.

For deals on Baja's, call my friend Brett at www.premierboatingcenter.com He takes great care of his customers and has sold several boats that stay at LOTO. He makes about 10 trips down a year.

There is a 33 w 525s in the classifieds asking like 119,000. If you want a sweet package I think it would fill the bill. I too was looking hard at the 33s but the CIG just said YOU GOT TO HAVE ME!!!

What's your price range? Do you have any size limitations with respect to slip size or storage on land?

I have been in 33 Ol's and Two different 32 Sunny's and The 33 will ride better but the sunny is a much faster/more efficient hull.

Bigger is better!!

The twin-stepped Innovator/SS/SSR 32 Sunsation will be a better hull at LOTO than the older, pad-bottom 32 Dominator hull. Either do reasonably well at LOTO but you will have to really "drive" the boats when it gets sloppy. The 33 Outlaw will have a bunch more cabin and cockpit room (especially between the front bolsters and rear bench) and will be a better overall ride in the LOTO slop. When it really gets rough, even the 33 Outlaw will get beatup down there. I'd have to give the nod to the BAJA.

There may be some 35ZR Donzi's around as well. Not much in the way of a cabin though.

No size limitations but with size comes price and I do have price limitations. From what little experience and knowledge I have you seem to get more boat for the money with a baja. May not be the most top of the line but a decent all around performance boat.Ive seen a few 01 to 03 33's in the 70 to 80's price range with fairly low hours(250 to 300)which will prob be my price range.I def like to go fast but would prefer a turn key 70mph boat with a decent ride as to 80mph and a terrible ride.My likings for the sunsation are stricty based on looks but it seems the baja is more up my alley. Anything else compariable in size,performance and price will be considered when I finaly make the move to a bigger boat.

I put 450 hours on a 32 Sunsation over 5 seasons on LOTO. I never beat the crap out of it, but then again I ran hard and never doubted the structural integrity of the boat in snotty conditions either. And it proved the integrity. After that time and hours there was not one blemish or stess crack on that hull.

With that said, it is a much smaller hull overall than the 33 OL, so there are differences in the comparison.

K4M spent several hundred hours in it with me, so he can attest that the hull stood up to the LOTO conditions.

I think either boat will serve you well on LOTO. And either are a good size for getting around to the restaurants etc.

What the heck are you up to this winter. We were down over the holidays and boated Jan 29 and Jan 30.

Have you been down to Florida?
