When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Pro-Line 29 Express 2011 and the Pro-Line 32 Express Cruiser 2011 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Pro-Line 29 Express 2011 at 29,3 ft versus Pro-Line 32 Express Cruiser 2011 at 32,3 ft. At 75 lbs and 115 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 600 hp for the Pro-Line 29 Express 2011 and 600 hp for the Pro-Line 32 Express Cruiser 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 2 gal and 3 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Pro-Line 32 Express Cruiser 2011 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Pro-Line 29 Express 2011 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Pro-Line 32 Express Cruiser 2011 could be the deciding factor.
