buy what you can afford and that is in good shape for the money , There will always be someone faster, even when you think you have the baddest boat and the biggest wallet ,

that 32 use to have trips didn't it??? seems like it was for sale that way anyway. I looked at a newer spectra 32 with 400's on it during the 200 this year at landrys in NOLA. not a very big hull compared to my 30 skater. I'm sure it moves along well with those outboards though.

That was my buddy's 32 that he sold maybe in 2012? It had twins on it. The guy who bought it in FL added the 3rd motor.

Take Ron's/DoubleRigged advice to heart, I was in this spot so totally concerned about the top end thing. Although it is a number we all seem to endlessly chase it is not where the majority of your your time will be spent. I was happy that my rig ran the number it did but I spend all my cruising time at about 80 to 85 mph. Once in a while i find myself cruising along at 100mph but not all the time. I very rarely run at the top end. Once in a blue moon when Im alone and feel like pushing it a bit. Every one here told me The boat is going to be great running around in the 80 to 90mph range and thats exactly where I am. Obviously we didn't get into this to run at slow speeds but Im not there near as much as I thought I would be. Good luck and may safe boating be in your future. Just enjoy being able to cruise at a speed most boaters strive to get to once in their life. Its awesome.

That 32 does have trips on it now and is in the process of being completely refreshed and updated. Cool video of it and as far as people worrying about it being outrun by that motion don't, it will more than hold it's own on top end and will kill it as soon as the water becomes anything more than glassy smooth.

I had a 30 Spectre with Promax 300s many years ago and only came across one 28 Skater with 2.5s and he handed me my ass
