It is, but the 33 is still 2 1/2" wider than the 35, yet still more

The 33's envelope goes two inches farther aft but starts two inches
farther aft too because the tail weighs more.

Gotcha...I was thinking of something else and did a reference fart.

There are 33s and then there are 33s and there is a big difference
between useful load and CG. Early 33s (prior to 74) had roughly a
100# useful load while those after had a 1400# useful load. I don't

Oops... That 1000# versus 1400#, but I'd guess every one figured that
out any way:-))

know about the ones near the end of the production run.

With the early ones you didn't have much worry about CG change with
fuel burn either.

I understand the 33's with a IO-550 and Turbonormalizer max out at something
like 3750 MTOW and have about 1350 useful load. The heavier weight from the
engine & turbo do nice things for the CG, too. Add an oxygen system
(installed under the co-pilots) seat and it's even better.
