Cockpit is the same size basically as a 27 and a 29 as is the freeboard. Cabin is bigger but has about the same head room. A 35 is much more boat and I believe are just slightly faster with the same power because of the balance of the boat.
Raymonds has a 97 I think used, you should go over and see it and compare it to a 35 classic or Ex.

thanks VB! good idea to look at the one at raymonds.
ok , guys im getting a razzing about the 32 basically being a 27 foot boat. never measured one.
seams to me from the point of the beak back to the water line is basically the same as any other boat.
fountains just angle down faster once you get past the beak of course?

Anybody gotten any hard pricing on a new 35 EX? Seems I have read that they are taking approximately 25% off the list of around 200k and selling at just about 150k...?

Ex's
I have seen them listed for under $150 and a few used 03's for $130's range. Charlene quoted one of hers to me at $149,000 new w/o trailer and that was before any haggling.
As for a 32 being a 28. It would compare to any other 30-31 foot boat that has a molded in swim platform and notched transom. It would also compare in actual running surface length to a 28 Pantera and a 29 Baja or any other full keel deep V boat. Fountains are small in depth compared to many others. I have used the example of a true sports car like a ferrari, small, low to the ground, as opposed to a sports sedan like a BMW. Especially when you get into the 32 and up range. Now the new decks add some room in all the boats in the cabin. But it isn't near as large as say a Baja or a Donzi of the same length.
When I had my 27, I mentioned a 32 to the sales guy and he said don't waste the $ go to a 35 you will be a lot happier. After being in both boats I would agree.
Go take a look at both of these and I think it will really help you compare.
