Things to think about would be storage area,towing, and where you take it. The boat is going to handle water better and probably go a little faster maybe. I wouldnt think you would get more people in the cockpit although probably more room.
Its going to cost more for fuel, maint, and insurance as well

Never had a 29 but I am on my second 35. Single step first, now the twin step version. Great all around boats, not too big to be fun to drive, but big enough to handle anything most lakes or rivers can throw at you.

My next Foutain will be a 35. I think that is as big as I want to go and still be able to trailer it around without to much hassle. My 29 sits on a 34' trailer so total boat and trailer length is probably about 36 feet with the drives up. My truck is a crew cab Dodge short bed. I would think I am close to 60 feet of truck and trailer. That is about maxing it out to legaly trailer in most states without additional endorsements/certifications on your license. I have never been pulled over and I have never seen anyone towing a boat get pulled over for excess length. My friend tows his 40 foot Baja around; I do not think he has any special endorsements but then again I do not know.

35 is a great boat IMO. Im actually considering going back to one or a 38. 35s run great without any wild power and can handle about anything inland lakes/rivers can throw at them. As far as towing them, 3/4 ton or better. Did tow mine once with an Escalade but the airbags took forever to pump up
Good luck in your search
