I have a pr. of tall decks in a 10 mtr (33) Fountain. What dimensions is it that you need to know??? Center to center on the tail pipes? How far apart they are?? Not quite sure what you're looking for.

Just remember this, when you switch from standard decks to tall decks, your headers get moved up .300 in. and out .300 of an inch.
I'll be down by the boat in the next few days, so let me know what exactly you want me to measure for you.

The 33 has what seems to be a million square ft in the engine compartment over the 32. the side to side might be the same but not possitive. My old 32 was tight with 500's. There was enough room to squeeze my hand and arm through the center of the two if I tried hard. Loved the 32 though. alot of people dog them but it was good to me!!!
