I had a 33 Daytona with big power and my thoughts are the same as all others, on a nice flat day would be fine but watch that afternoon return home from Catalina, it can get brutal and conditions are always worse comparing morning to afternoon as well going into swells vs backside.
What year 33 are you looking at? All pre 2000/01 have some handling challenges like turning outside lean and porpoise after 80 MPH. The newer 33's have a great bottom that works very well. All that said, I got caught on a bad day once at Mead in mine and we got the crap beat out of us and could not get on top of it..... The 33 is no wave crusher by any means.
