We live on a 32 Open for 4 weeks in the summer and cruise all over Lake Michigan. The 3500 is the same hull as the 32 only 3 feet longer in the rear. It also has a taller top deck. The size shows up down below most noticeably in the head which is much niceer for taking showers in the bigger boat. The galley is bigger too on the 3500. Bed is the same on both boats.
The 3500 is a really comfortable boat for two and my bias is it handles the seas better than the Sovran. Have your surveyer pay close attention to moisture around through hulls on the side of the hull. If they are wet, it is an easy fix but not inexpensive. Scuppers, same thing.
