32/35 to to replace my 27
I am looking to move up to a 32 posibally a 35 any thoughts should I just hold out for a 35. I do like how you can walk up the sides of the 35. My budget limits me to an older boat early 90's. I am looking for coments as to trailering, ride ease of manuvering any thoughts would be appreciated. Usually lake and river boating in the Midwest

Both are great boats, go with a single step 35 if you can swing it. If not the non-stepped 32 is also a great boat.

Do you have room to park a 35??.......will a truck upgrade be in order ??.......if both these ok Id say go with a 35........I was in the same boat earlier this year.......the truck upgrade was the clincher.......35 would have reqd it......with our short seasons and tight quarters when it comes to docking/launching decided to keep the 29 and fix it up and have a real nice fast 29..........doug

That is what I wrestle about with moving up. I am right at my towing limit and I cannot get a 35 around conveniently without a different vehicle.

I have a house on the lake & leave my boat in the water. I towed
the boat about 3 -4 tires a year. My truck in a 02 gmc 1500
step-side. 6 ft box. It actually towed it pretty good,but was probably
overweight. My 32 was a straight hull. It handled like a Ferrari.
My 35 is stepped. Totally different feel. It knocks the waves down better
and is faster,but the as$ end feels like its on marbles. I love the walk
around on the 35.The 32 you had to practically kill yourself getting over
the windshield to get on the bow. The 32 is basically a sit down as the
35 is more of a stand up boat. Both are great boats and I would
recommend either. Good luck.

Trailering isn't an issue for me as I leave my boat on a lift, but I went through the same decision several years ago. I had a 27 that I could trailer everywhere, but needed a longer boat to handle the lake. The 32's seemed to be priced quite a bit less than the 35. I really liked the ride of the 35 and I was tired of crawling over the windshield of my 27. Good luck with your decision.
