Bullet Proof and fast whats not to like? I love the lines of the 32 personally...dont see how people could see it as dated.

He said after rebuilding the 800s' to 1000s' it still hopped bad. A tunnel tab would have tamed the hop. He saw 136 then sold the cat and bought the 36. He thought with the Arnesons, lighter weight and setback it might perform diffrently. Do you have an I/O 32 or outboard model Kamma82? I have a 25 Talon outboard
and am ready to move up to a 30 or 32 outboard and was interested in a 32 outboard owners opinion on handling and performance. I have driven a 32 DW race boat that weight 4500#s' and was wondering how it compared.
32B hops a bit around 90 then straightens right out. Way different animal than the A.

For sterndrives B by far. Faster, handles better, its a bigger boat.
For outboards the A still runs damn good

Steves 32 was an A with #5s' and no tab. I didn't notice that the one for sale was a B. Thanks for the info on the outboards on an A.

The last owner was a neighbor of JupiterSunsation. I'm sure he has the scoop. Always looked cool on thelift on the ICW.

The boat was built for turbines and arnesons. The original owner never took delivery. It was sold to a customer on Long Island and rigged by pro-rock. We took it in trade in 2007 on a new boat. It's a great boat! The 32's are a lot of fun.

I don't know what turbines? I heard small 750hp? There is a 32a that Howard Arneson built with single turbine that was a great boat.
