32' new body skaters, Non #6 boats

What's out there for sale. Really starting to come around to the idea of joining the NATION.

Was the new body released in 2001? This is the one refered to as the "B" model correct. Seem to be insureable for a reasonable amount if you keep them under 110-120mph.

Opinions, comments, "reality checks", pricing, pics , links?

Beautiful boats. What kind of water can they handle. Fuel tank issues, XR's, boxes, ITS, Arneson's. Educate me on this platform.

Thanks.

1998 through present you could get a B boat. They are an awesome boat for a large lake or even ocean use. We built one with 1300s and 6s. Ran 170 mph, stayed stable and was perfectly balanced in rough water. We did a quarter canopy boat with 700s and 6s and it ran about 125. The boat was sold before we had a chance to dial it in. XRs are fast but you better be quick on the sticks. Ive heard good things about Arnseons.

What would you know about that? I recall you had your hands full with Merc Outbards.

My buddy has a 32 with 575's with XR drives. I know this past season he did not run into any issues with it, but if you can pay up for 6's that would be a good idea. (I don't think that it is for sale though)
