Default Which Boat Runs Better In Rougher Water..33 PP Or 33 AT

First off, Im not trying to start a war..Im doing some research for a buddy who is looking at another 33 foot boat that I dont want him to buy. I suggested these two models, and have been on both, but only 1-2's...and dont have enough seat time to answer his questions properly. As to comfort and size I gave the nod to AT.. as to looks I choose PP.. Which boat is quicker and handles various types of water...better Thanks for the help. Jeff

Where's the AT Cheerleader

I would say the PP would ride better, I think the PP has a narrower beam, but over all style and and looks I would go with the AT.

My buddy has a 32 AT and I have a 33PP. what ya wanna know? both are great riding but the PP is a little smoother ride in the rough. As far as comparing the two both have high points and lows...

been in the 1st AT 33 built steves boat in a lot of different water from 1 to 2s to 5 footers and in pokerruns the boat is awesome no chinewalk even opening it up to plus 90 steve has had it to with 525s, I have seen high 80s in the runs with 5 and 6 people in the boat. I have had pp33 race boat run with me off of plymouth it looked good but them AT 33s have lots of room side by side seating is great. steve hit 94 I think he said last fall before selling it. plus full bath with s by s seating below. good luck

I think a powerplay 33 was the other boat, what about a 34 saber heard they will build if someone orders one. all 3 nice hulls and fast. but it would be cool to see a twin 800hp motors and konrad ace drives go on a new boat in these sizes saber 34 or AT33 OR 37.

i have a 33PP and my best friend has a 33AT w/525s that i have about 100hours in so i have been in both for a lot of hours......what do you want to know??? the PP has a softer entry due to being a true v, the AT has a pad so its a little stiffer ride.....that being said, i think these boats are very close in the rough and it depends on the driver and set-up. i think my boat has an advantage over the 33 AT because i have #4's on boxes which puts my props over 4 feet off of the transom
