If you keep the boat light with optimal x dimension you can have little to no hop in a 32B bravo boat. The most hop I have is 55-72 MPH (unless in a heavy tailwind). 120+ MPH is totally achievable with a prop that will make the rev limiter on 525's (34 hering 5 blade inbound rotation)

Imo, it depends on the water conditions you're going to be running in. If you're talking rough water, 500 per side would probably be ok, but if you plan on running smooth water a lot, you'll want more than that. The 32B has a porpoise from 60-100 when loaded with people/fuel on flat water, so to get up over the porpoise range and stay there (100+mph), you'd better have more than 500 a side to not be killing your motors all the time. There were a couple 32Bs out here where I live, and they both had 575SCIs w/ intercoolers on them, and I would say that would be the least power I would put in one for smooth water running. (650hp a side). In rough water conditions, the porpoise isn't there, so it has no effect on how fast you have to run, at which point I'd say you might be ok with 500 a side. I've got 800hp a side in my 30, and for smooth water running, I personally wouldn't want any less. My 30 has a porpoise from 60-90, so I have to cruise 100mph when loaded with people and fuel to stay over the porpoise range on smooth water. These true cats want hp!
Do the 30S K-planes help with the hop at all?

Dean

Well, the cat's out of the bag AGAIN! LOL! I been kinda chasing this 32B on and off for about 5 years, and I finally snagged it! It's nice to finally be a member of the "Skater Nation". Details:
2000 32B, with 2 x HP500EFI's, 152 hrs, been stored in a barn pretty much for the last 7 years, It is amazing condition

Good Looking Skater - to me the paint is very reminiscent of Dave Scott's Pleasure 36

Congrats on the new ride Dean! I sold my Talon and I'm on the hunt as well. Beautiful paint and I prefer the 32s' size to the 36. The 36 with the 10' beam is a monster and only fun in rough water. The 32 is the perfect mix between performance and size IMO.
