WOW, those are very similar almost twins. This was "said" to do 118mph with 377's. 27 pitch 4 blades. Im very scaptical though. Ill believe it in when I see it. does say 108 on the Livorsi GPS speedo recall so it might be close.

I love the looks of this boat and was seriously considering it when for sale in Florida around 2002. Back then the rear seat configuration was not a bench but two seats facing each other from the gunwales. Neat boat. Have fun!

The first one [COUGAR, MAGIC ] was a Active 32' with a 12' beam. The last Magic was a Image 33' with a 11' beam.
GTOKiller we ran speed III merc drives & crash boxes with I believe 1.68 gears. The props were big but we had a hard time breaking them lose to get on plane, venting the prop on start up was still a very new idea back then.

Looks fun!!
Im searching around OSO right now trying to figure out what to change on my boat. It had bravos 1.50 with 26 pitch 4 blades on it, I did not know how to get it on plane??? two people & a small tool bad about 50 gallons per tank. tried different trim positions, baby the throttles & blowout at about 3300 every time. Keep in mind I've never had a cat before. came from a 28 Baja sport w/ twin bbc's
I changed to a set of 3 blade 25's did way better but still tough to get on plane. Any suggestions for a new cat owner?? haha
