i reall ylike the way this boat looks.

never seen one in person much less rod ein one. but they seem very reasonably priced and well equipped.

how does this boat perform? ride quality? speed? cabin features? over all impressions?

im going to buy a 32+ v hull in the next year or two and this is one i really like. the price and the look are great. but is it comparable to other manufacturers? i have to stay under 35 feet cus my garage at my house won tfit anything bigger.

boats im considering so far-

33 scarab avs
checkmate zt330
fountain 32 fever

ZT330 shares a hull with the convincor 303/320. They added the built in platform to the mold and the ZT330 was born! They are some great hulls. Second to only the 283/300 hull. Performance is awesome for the size, they handle great as well. If you can try and find a ride in one. You will own one shortly after!!

The 32 fever... knock the beak off and the platform and you have a smaller boat than a 283/300. Was looking at one this weekend and there is no room between the front and rear seats for leg room. Fit and finish is not bad but not good either. I love how they look in the water tho!! :D

The 33 scarab is a sweet looking boat, IMO. I know little about them but there was one a few slips down from me. I was talking with him for a few minutes... claims upper 60's on dream-o-meter with 310hp 454mpi motors. That is about what I am seeing with my setup on the 283/300 hull.

thasnk for the reply!

i cant believe how reasonably priced they are compared to other models. that kinda made me skeptical. whay are they so much cheaper than opther manufacturers boats of the same size/class??

any idea what speeds a zt330 with 502 efi mags would run??
