The 32 Skaters before 2001 had less beefy sponsons which were more pointy in front. They tended to stuff in rough water if they launched off waves and came down head first. In 2001, Skater changed to the 32B which had a more bulbous sponson which was a lot more like the 36 Skater. You can tell the difference between a 32A (pre 2001) and a 32B (2001 and later) when you look at the sponsons because they have a bigger radius towards the front.

I don't remember seeing any 1999 32B's. I don't remember ever seeing any 2000 32B's either but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I thought 2001 was the first year. Could be wrong. However, any Skater which received it's hull number after July 2nd (or so) of a year wound up being next years model. A 99 finished and shipped in August 1999 wound up being a 2000 model. So your point is well taken.

Garth,I remember riding on your 32B with Mike Lembecke.I remember watching the gps speedo read 121 as we hit a wake from a 40' sundancer,the boat sponson walked a bit,you hit the throttles and it smoothed out instantly and we were going 134!!!!What a ride!! My next Skater will be a 32B it a 36 for sure! Steve
