I've read that the recent 33 Lightning with 496 HOs were not good sellers when new. A few used ones are now turning up and they look like a good way to get into a reasonably priced 80 mph boat. Are there any owners past or present who can offer their thoughts on what they liked or didn't?

driven the boat Not a bad ride feels like a 35 and a lot harder to work on!! 18 inches shorter between the backrest and front of the motor, same cockpit size and cabin as a 35 . Fountain did move the cg from the 35 and time to plane is about the same ..
