1988 IP 31 0r 1990 IP 32?

Dear IP owners, need your advice and insights. Finally we came down to 1988 IP 31 , very clean very well maintained only fresh water boat ( we have a deal already) But meantime I came across 1990 IP 32 , good , solid need some cosmetic attention and of course about $6,000 more.
I couldn't find any reviews on 32 IP ( found review for IP 320).
Could you tell me guys what's the difference between these two models in terms of sailing performance? I wondering if it is worth it to switch to IP 32?
I'll appreciate it any insights and personal experiences.
Rob

Re: 1988 IP 31 0r 1990 IP 32?

Went thru the same process 14 years back. Compare the different engine access, aft bunk space, anchor roller(s) configuration. Not so obvious the 32 hull has a finer entry and the 31 keel does not carry a foil shape. Not sorry I chose the 32 but a lot of happy 31 owners. I think IP made almost twice the number of 31s before introducing the 32 of which a little over 100 were produced.

The 320 was a replacement for the IP29, 350 was the replacement for the 32.

However if it’s $6,000 more and needs more work?
Forget reviews, they aren’t going to say anything bad, about anything.
If something is really horrible, it might get a passing comment.
