I have a 33' Daytona and a friend of mine has a 30'. When docked next to each other the 33' looks like a much bigger boat for sure. (Looks like more then a 3' difference to the eye). Definitley more cuddy height, etc. I love the 33'. It does a good job in rougher waters, plus isn't too big to trailer around and store, etc.

from what i can tell the 30's usually do not have the little couches down below, just the bed, i love my 33 too. like said above, i can still tow it with a half ton or escalade, and store it easier, and does "ok" on rough water, we are at LOTO, and on Saturdays and holiday weekends there are still parts of the lake i avoid! But until a 36 skater is in the budget i am a happy man!

The 30' has a couch on each side and then the bed. So the 33' is taller than the 30? Is there any room gained in the actual cabin or just the cuddy portion?

I currently have a 30 Daytona and have had a 26 Daytona. I have been in a 36 and looked at a lot of 33's. The cabin space is good but cockpit in the 26 and 33 are larger with more room for passengers than the 27, 28, 30 and even 36. When a passenger sits in my back seat there is 4-6 inches between their knees and the back of the front seats. Its the same way in the 27, 28, and 36. For whatever reason the way the cockpit is configured in the 26 and 33, when a passenger sits in the back seat, there is about 14-18 inches between their knees and the back of the front seat. I agree with the others about ride and big water. I have had this boat on LOTO on Shootout week and weekend, it is NOT fun. My buddy with the 36 is always at LOTO and he does fine. Have not been in a 33 in big water but the 30 is a great lake boat. Mine has 525's with XR's with stock lowers and 34p Bravo props and will run 108.
