outboard skaters: 28 versus a 32

Big difference in all three. A 28 is big and strong enough to run in anything you've got the balls to run in but a 32 will be much more comfortable as it gets rougher and passengers will feel much more in the boat. The 28 is faster with similar power obviously but a 32 will be more comfortable to run faster in. If you generally run on lakes or flat water get a 28 if the water gets rough you'll appreciate the 32. JMHO

We (me and my brother) run a 308 in Lake Erie and the Niagara River. It handles very well in rough water. I'd think a 28 would beat you up some, and the 32 would be super!

To follow up on Zero's comment, a 32 with twin 300X's should run right at 100-101 with XS's it's 95 or so which isn't exactly slow but with trips it's 115 all day long with another 5-10 available with setup. So basically a 32 needs trips to run as fast as a 28 but with the trips you also get ridiculous acceleration and hole shot.

if you see a pic of a 28 tied up next to a 32' Skater, depending on the actual angle... you would be hard pressed not to think the 28 was next to a 36.
32 definitely a bigger heftier hull than a 28. Both ride nice but the 28 is the speed demon of the two for get up and go, that said many of the 32A's rigged with trips easily topped 110+ but the center gear case took a beating

Mr. Zero ,
Funny you guys didn't mention math , physics , earth rotation or gravity when the video was posted . Only that I was an idiot for making you watch a Skater get whooped
When the point was that a hull that size ( no matter the mfg ) really need's three mules tied to the back .
Today you say >
See it was a compliment on your memory retention . No need to be so self conscious

32 would need trips or 400 r. Otherwise a slow ride
