The 35 is a lot more boat than the 32. Ride and handling is worth the extra money to find a trailer for the 35. All depends on what you are looking for, drive both.

Your dilemma is more of a money question than a hull question. You can figure about $10k more for a trailer for the 35, and depending upon your boating needs, a trailer might be necessary.
I've driven and ridden in a few boats on Lake Michigan in some fairly rough water. I would describe my 35 as a "driver's" boat...its long enough that you don't get smacked around too bad on a 2' day (bridges nicely), but anything over that, and you are going to be flying. The boat flies VERY level with the drives at 3-1/2 pins and a little tab...its also very sensitive to adjustments in trim.
