Real 4-5 and you cant run that 32 Classic outboard comfortably either!! My buddy had a 28 with 300x's and it ran 121! We ran it in 3-4's when it had the 2.5's on it and it was a pretty wet ride!
The boat is a little small for the ocean but fast as hell!

There all great but have their limitations and after riding in 28 and seeing its limited rough water capabilities I decided to buy a 32 it was all I could afford . I read many times the 28 and 32 are worlds apart in REAL rough water , not lake or bathtub flat . Time will tell and looking forward to having to fun this Summer

To me in real rough water, the 32 is only going to run somewhat well is if it has #6's and is the newer tunnel. In the big chop to decent sized water the 32 is a bit more boat than the 28. I have been in both in some big water and the 32 with 6's is the way to go in a 32ft boat.

"in REAL rough water , not lake or bathtub flat "
How big is this water and @ what average speed for this lap?
Doesn't look, nor did it feel like "lake or bathtub flat " 2 me.
And if you take a 32' out in 2-3's w/300xs's off the back there going to fall off!

Agreed. Real 4-5's in most boats is not a comfortable ride
