I had a 2000 Fever with 385's in her, she ran 74 mph with labbed props through the LOTO Shoot Out. It was a great boat.
Hope this helps you. :D

My '99 w/ 502's runs right at 75-76.

A friends '00 w/HP 500 EFI's runs mid 80's.

Had a 2000 with 500 H.P. carbed motors. The boat ran 83-85 on the old liquid filled livorsi speedo. Never put it on gps.

If my memory serves my correctly I test drove a 1998 32 Fever with 502 Mags and got a little over 75mph. I was deciding on this boat or the new 29 Fever with a HP500 that I ultimatly bought backin November 1999.

I have had my 1998 32' single step Fever for three seasons. It is powered by 502/415 motors with Gil headers and risers like you will find on a 500 HP. I am very pleased with the performance thus far. Last year I bought a pair of used Bravo I 30's. My son and I took it out in early Spring last year. It was a cool (62 F) day with a brisk breeze. Running with the current and the breeze my new GPS speedometer recorded 84 mph. Turning around and making a run in opposite direction into the current and breeze I could only get 78 mph for an average of 81 mph. I was extremely pleased since I could only get 78 mph out of my old Bravo I lab finished 28's. The problem with the strong Bravo 30's is one would only tach 4900 rpm's and the other one was hard on the rev limiter. So, I sent them off to be matched up and lab finished. After sending them back three times to get them to run close to the speed they did when I first got them, I have settled for a solid 79-80 mph under normal Summer conditions. Set up for a poker run with a full tank of fuel, four adult passengers, cooler etc.. it will run between 78-79 mph. I am not unhappy with that but I will never send off another set of props that are performing that well again. Live and learn. From all I have seen and heard 78 mph seems to be a good gps speed for this combination. Good luck!

the 29 with that combo runs 72.......so a 32??

but wait.......its a Fountain.......the longer boat with the same power could actually be faster!!

always thought a 32 with a serious set of smallies would be a cool boat.

A friend of mine just got an 03 32 fever with twin 350s. Only got to try it out a few times but it registerd 66 on GPS. Might be able to squeeze a few extra out of 'er with the right conditions, but 65 is a more likely avg. top speed.

TRL505 10-20-2007 11:26 PM

1997 fever with 525SC's.....86-88mph on liquid filled speedo, I never GPS'd it...loved the boat it was a lil rocket
