I never thought about that low speed issue.
We have a long area of no wake here on our intercoastal so if that is true that could be a problem. Also I am all of 5'7" so that's not helping.
The working on issue I have heard of as well. I do plan on all basic upkeep being done by me so I will have to really take a hard look around the hatch area.

as far as the engine room,,,I say its no better or worse than any other boat of its size with twin big blocks..at least the 32 Fountain gives you almost 2 feet of free space from the pulleys to the firewall

The stern of the 32's sit so low in the water that if you own the boat for 10 years probably 400 people will tell you that your boat is taking on water. Because it sits so low in the water some of the 32's actually do take on water thru the vents - and via the rub rail.
The engines are really tight - hard to work on.
Other than that it's a great boat but soon you will wish you had bought a 35 - which is a much better boat and is just as fast with the same power.

Launching is a piece of cake, but retrieving it is a different story.
