No doubt the bigger the hull/boat the better ride and handling capabilities will be.. A 32 is like night and day of a 28/29'.. Don't get me wrong though the smaller 28/29'ers are great boats too...
I always tell people buy the biggest that you can afford because it won't take you long before you get tired of the smaller boat and want a bigger one.. 2'itis syndrome we all have had it!!!

You can't have too much boat on Lake Erie... shes snotty at times, I have yet to be held back by waves, in the Baja or the Cig, then again, i am a tad nuts too...

..... I operate alone though, so 32 is about the most I would consider for myself, because that seems like its pushing it to operate a lone 90% of the time, especially when I like to go out when it is windy.... .The 29 seems great, I will email the guy

Thats how I like to roll! Go out whenever possible, weekend warrior?? I had the Pro-Line in some 5-6s yikes, I wouldn't have went out in anything much worse.

I am more worried about tight docking than anything, I can do everything else easy, I would just leave lines tied to the bow at all times, no fricken way I would walk out there when no one is at the wheel, well at least to for a while, just too many risks IMO. I have operated a 28 on my own, thats the biggest though.

It's just a hair bigger than a 29OL with alot more cockpit space.
