Tom,
Yes this helps!! Thank you!
I am concerned about moving to a narrower beam than what I have now.
What speed to expect from twin 496's?
In the Heat we are still able to tube and ski (sort of). Am also considering if a twin 496 SS is up for this challenge too?
Look forward to photos if not too much problem.

I wouldnt have too much concern over the beam size as far as handling in the 32 SS. It handles really great. Wayne and Joe have the boats dialed in perfectly!
With the twin 496's we are seeing speeds in the mid 80's with completely stock setups.
There is definitely enough power in the heat to pull skiers and tubes. If there was, I am sure Sunsation would not offer a ski eye as an option
Here are some pictures of the cabin on our 2008 SSR.

Tom,
Thanks again for the pics. It looks like plenty of room beside the head compartment. Will be a little tighter in the MCOB though. I am sure it has the power to pull skiers or tubes . Just wondering about maneuverability.
I just need to drive up and look at it in person. Do you have any MCOB's. I know there is one near Rochester.
Thanks again!

The cabin in the MCOB and Closed bow is exactly the same. It is just the forward berth that changes. I have a MCOB on order now. What colors should I make it?
