Anyone looking for a 32 project
Came across this listing for a 32 w/ canopy's and tripple 2.5's - needs TLC but it looks like there could be room to negotiate $$$ by the way its been kept
Not my boat but Just putting it out there is looking for a 32 other than what is listed in the classifieds
And yes, it is one of those listings that the boat "only needs"....

This was originally Danny Desantis's "Auto Palace" then "Risk Taker" as a triple then twin, after that is was "Phenomenon" and now it sits..... On it's best day she may have gone 115-120.....
The motors in the pictures are 260's NOT 280's. She needs a lot of love for sure.....

45 k +
glass body wok and paint 25 +
fuel tanks 7-9 k
new int 10 k
5 k to repair trailer if your lucky ( heavy rust )
unload old junk engines and repower with 300xs 38k
re-rig including tossing that steering 10 k
Save your money , paul sold his 32 B for under 80 K including pair 300 xs !!
I know first hand as I'm almost done restoring my 32 A and the only way I'm not upside down is because I have done all glass work , body work and engines myself (STR built powerheads only )

On restoration projects like this, it all sounds good when trying to justify in your head (and maybe wife's) how you will be willing to do (or attempt to do) alot of the work yourself to save money and be able to afford the boat. Initially these resto project boats are attractively priced, as they should be. However, let me tell you, your money can and will disappear quickly, so make sure to keep your day job!
These boats, especially high quality Skaters are custom made and require skill to bring back to form. This costs $$$. Just be realistic going in. Be prepared
