32' speeds
What kinda speeds can be expected from non stepped 32 with......
454MPI
502MPI
hp500's
Are the 454 underpowered?
Any issues that those that are owners of these can shed light on?
Possibly considering the 32' as next boat.
Thank ya, thank ya very much.

I have a 1999 32 that I love. Great boat. The boat test sheet from Fountain with 502's says 76+. Mine with 502's runs a GPS 78+ loaded. I drove one with 500's and it went 83 on GPS. The dealership said once broken in it should run about 85. The 454's , I think somewhere around 73-75.
The only issue I have had is with the bilge blowers. The outlets in the rear of the boat allow some water in and after a while that kills the blower. Not a big deal...cheap and easy to replace.

Thanks SeaDated,
I inquired about a '94 32' with 454MPI's. Was told it was a 70mph boat. Was hoping for a little more umph!
BTW, I have heard of the 32's have excessive swim platform exhaust rumble because of the plateform being nearly under water. Whats your opinion on this?
ALFSTER,
Awl heck, I can do that with my little ol 625 hp. GPS needs recalibrated though.
Sorry haven't been able to hook up at Cumberland. Maybe next year with my new boat!

it will do a strong 72 on the liquid filled speedo.
yes the 32 does have swim platform vibration at idol. goes away under power. I don't think that my 454's under power the 32. they are all stock so there is alot more speed in them.
just getting ready to take the seats out of it to get some tears repaired over the winter, so if your interested let me know i will stop.
great boat call me if you have any questions.

Yep, the platform does vibrate at idle with the exhaust open. It doesn't do it with the exhaust closed or under power.
I think the 70-72 would be right without the step bottom. Is that model year boat a step bottom?

The 35 has crossed my mind, but so has the 42, 47 and 65'. One step at a time boss.
