I have both boats...a big ass center console and a 32 Carolina Classic. The big ass CC is for sale...fire sale...If you want a boat with 3 motors that hauls ass and is pretty damn reliable let me know. It's a fun ride and very dry but my kids freeze thier arses off and the wife won't go on it.
Having had both boats I prefer having a place to catch a nap, make a cup of coffee, fix a kids cuisine, and then clean up all the mac and cheese.
Actually it is really nice to make an overnight run and be able to have a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee.
