Default Fastest 32 ?

Was bored and did some searching on here the other evening and found an old thread about 32's and speed. Saw guys doing 90, or a little over and it got me thinking...

Whats the fastest one of these hull has been? Any video? How did it handle?

I haven't even put mine away yet for the season and I'm already jonesin, lol.

I was told mine did 103mph when it was new with 750's.

BStubb's was well over 100mph before he sold it.
Tfarmer had something like 1000hp a side in his and I don't think he ever got it to WOT.

Griff, you are correct, 103 was when 1 of the motors blew up, I think there was a little more but will never know.

Would you believe it still had both the original drives that had never been rebuilt until last August.
I blew the left upper apart in August. Boat has about 700hrs on it now.

Jeff Tibbs' boat in Michigan with the big power and Arnesons has to be up there; but not sure of his current power and speeds.

103 is rollin with that power, IMO. Was that with the engines moved forward do you know? Did it have extension boxes/shorties/standard bravo's?

Is farmer a member here? I'd love to know how fast he got it to run.

A lil birdie told me that one of these things went 120, I was just trying to figure out if its true.

I almost forgot about Tibbs with the Arnesons, wonder if he has it dialed in yet?

Yes, the boat is still set up exactly the same now as when it had the big power. They may have been closer to 800's.
Engines moved forward about 16", Stelling ext boxes, standard length 1.36 Bravo's with nose cones.

tfarmer is his screen name. He has straight bottom 37 AT now that he has for sale off and on for a few years. He doesn't post much anymore.
Thunder Power boat. Complete less engines.
