A few 33 have swim platforms which make it a 35 if you run big water go with big boat!

33 i went 27 to a 33 and the ride isnt even comparable. i would say the ride of a 29 would be alittle better then my 27 (28.5) with swim platform but not even close to the 33 + there would be more room on the 33

Totally different boats, do your research man?! Facepalm.. The 33 is much closer to a 35 lightning.. expensive and rare if you can find one. A lot bigger overall then the 29.. both are awesome boats but really have a different function. 33 would take bigger water better, 29 is a great trailerable boat, inland lakes, etc. Well enough of that... Not sure why I'm wasting my time lol

It would be cheaper and easier to find a single step 35 classic (executioner or lightening depending on year) with black motors then to try and find a 33. Not many 33's made.

True ^ only thing is the 33 has the new style cockpit, dash and cabin interior... still one of the nicest out there (08+ interiors) but the executioner will be a lot cheaper yes.
