I am looking at a F32 with merc 700's, does anyone have any idea on how this boat runs in rough water or how it handles? I know they are not made for the ocean but can they handle intercoastal and rough lakes. If you own one I would also like to know what you think of the boat.
thanks
John

Morning John, you don't call you don't write hahah. Merc 700's in stock form as in that F32 are good for 400-500 HR's. Remember there rev limiter is set at 5400. I looked at that boat a couple of months ago when it was at Lake Cumberland Marine for sure nice especially for the hours.

John,
I had dinner with Bob Teague at the LCPR 2 seasons ago. He raves about the 32. John T. is a big fan of it as well. It eats up the rough much better than you would think for it's size. Your right about the open ocean, but I would say without a doubt that it is the most all round well mannered and fastest cat of it's kind(save the M-31). Build is first class. It's a no brainer. Eric

Default Great boat

John,
You are going to really like that boat. I was in that boat cruising at 90+ on a Saturday afternoon on Lake Lanier. Never had to slow down one time! Good luck and enjoy.
