How do the 32 spectre cats handle the rough compared to 36?

Since no one else seems to want to give an opinion here's mine.

It's a tough question to answer because there are so many variables. Are you talking about I/O or OB 32's and what's your definition of rough water? I had an OB 32 and believe it did very well in rough water, I'd run with much larger boats all the time and felt very comfortable in the boat in just about any water under legitimate 4-5's and IMO you're not going to be comfortable in any boat (within reason) in those conditions. I believe the vast majority of the 36's are XR boats and I've heard of to many horror stories of them being hard on drives. That being said I've heard horror stories about OB lower units and I never had those issues so can't say for sure. I believe the biggest difference will be in the how the boats are driven, I believe if you're comfortable with it the 32 will run well against the 36's but if you have someone that's as comfotable in a 36 it should be able to run in bigger water since it's longer, wider, and heavier...

I know that doesn't really give you much of an answer but hope it helps.
