Default Best 30-32 foot boat with amenities

Looking for a boat that has good rough water capabilities but not a SLUG. My wife and I spend allot weekends on our boat so amenities are important to us. I currently have a 28 Active Thunder, its a nice boat I just want more comforts from home as well as TWINS

list of boats I am considering:
32 Active Thunder
31 Sonic
32 Sunsation
31 Formula

any thoughts???

Very tough choices!!!! Best advice is to inspect all of them and water test. Good luck!

A couple of months ago Boating Mag did an article comparing some 30 foot boats. If I remember the tested sonic, fountain, cigarette and formula. Check it out.

The Sonic by far has the most room in the cabin and a Head/shower you can use. Great rough water boat. Should do 80-83 no problem with 500efi's. I have a 2000 42 I'm selling if you want to go bigger.

Hands down Sonic. The Sonic 31SS CLEANED UP in that article. The Sonic has byfar the most amenities in that class/size. I will search for the article too. The only thing they found 'derrogatory' about the Sonic in that acticle was glass fuses on the fuse panel. Sonic is now changing that.

Second choice would be AT; however, the cabin is not as nice as the Sonic.
Third would be Sunsation. Fit and finish are awesome. Nice amenities, and style. The boat is not as wide as the others though.
Fourth would be Formula. I am just not into their lines.
