Yeah Rick I will be on the lookout for some 32's to try. Interesting thought.

Great running 32 Thunder :)
I know the original owner of that boat quite well!:D |
Jim, is that you?? Good to hear from you after all these years!!

Great Stuff Thunderstruck! Thanks for posting your information.
I'm about to find out where I'm at as well... spent most of our Michigan Fall/Winter/Spring totally rerigging my 97 32' AT. I'm going to be running around 700 hp NA 540's. My hull doesn't have a notch. As of now, I have no nose cones on my Bravo XZ's. I'm planning to test Hydromotives QIV 32's and Bravo I 32's at the same time. It sounds like P5 Hydromotives may also work well. My primary concern is a safe ride first. Second, I want the boat running well-balanced in Lake Michigan. Last year I was running 28p Bravo I's on Merc Mag MPI 502's - the boat seemed to have too much bow lift. I should be ready for the water in a few weeks, most of the boat is retrofitted/upgraded for the engines, I just need to get the last of my parts in after being backordered :( |
Tibb you need to talk to Mark AKA Kaama. He put large NA motors in his thunder with no notch (I think). He is a great guy and a good source of info for your particular setup, props, etc.

Tibb it looks like you and Kaama are from the same part of the country!!

Tom I've never gotten back into them. I've gotten big into Corvettes and (back) into motorcycles. I still live near Clear Lake. If you get over this way, look me up. It's not likely I'll check this forum much, but you can get in touch with me by e-mailing me at [email protected] get the picture. Hope all is well. Jim |
Indeed!!! Mark and I actually live about 20 minutes away from eachother... great guy, and certainly has lots of great info for me to gain from for sure.
I do appreciate you guys posting your findings, certainly has the potential for saving me and several others time and headaches... Thanks again! |
