2003 32 W/6.2 LS3's
 

Looking at this boat who has one are they LS motors ? and what to expect ? Thanks ...after 3 years off stepping back in 😎

Sounds like a cool setup.

It sounds like a winning package the lightness of a LS if they are ,,should help the CG of the 32 and launch

Are you sure they are ls's

6.2s stock are stroked 350's

My 292 runs 72-73

If it does have the ls motors I would love to know how it runs. That would be a great upgrade to any 292.

This is the info I'm looking for , the 6.2's that I have seen in ski boats were Ls3 blocks but those were Indmar marine , Not Merc ... I have seen a lot of rigging setups and never seen the Merc 6.2 in a fountain ,have heard two stories as to what they are . Either way looking for feed back on someone who has this set up , haven't seen the watertest or upclose with the hatch open yet , boat is still wrapped , also have seen two hp ratings 375 and 400 thanks

I though someone swapped them.

Fountain put them in the stock on some of thr 32's. They are mercruiser stock 6.2 340 hp. I found a few writeups on them when I was looking for a 292. They even put some 5.7's in them also.

70 at best I would say. Seems the donzi's and fountains with the small blocks run a few ticks slower than the formula's

Here is one with 5.7's

While it might not be the fastest on the water small blocks and bravos will live forever. When the motors get weak then it's small jump to ls's as they are getting figured out for swaps all the time now.

I was referring to if they were ls motors.

Indy ... I have been told the 6.2s were LS motors but other info indicates that if they are original (which they are) they are stroked 5.7s votec blocks either is ok was hoping to hear from a owner who has the setup in a 32 thanks..

The 6.2 LS motor was not available until 2007, so if these are original motors, they are 377 small blocks.

Thank you then they are stroker 5.7 vortec's now for the questions only someone who has one can answer ... Lol

Merc has *never* made an LS based marine engine.

Got the water test sheet today 71 at 5300
Rpm trim at 5 with 26 p Mirage inward I'm happy with that

I really wonder how these would be with some 500-600 HP all aluminum LS motors in them. It would have to give them much better balance.

I can give you a bit of insight based in my setup. I'm one of the few that have a 29 with twin 350 mags. It's a great setup. Gets on plane very quick and there is actually room to do maintenance. I know most of the 32s had big blocks and sat very heavy in the rear causing some transom leaks. I would think twin 6.2s would be much lighter and sit up a bit in the rear. It's a trade off for me in the long run. Single big block 29s run 70-74mph stock. Twin small block 29s run 67-70mph. For me the long run life of twin small blocks, being able to repair both engines or maintenance for the price of one "nothing broke but it's time for a 525 top end job", ability to back in to a dock with the control of twins is all good for me. Even if my boat did 78 there are plant of boats on my lake that will still smoke my a** at 100+. So overall I think the 32 with twin 6.2s is a real nice package and has its advantages if your ok not having a 80+ mph big block boat.

My 32 Fever is a 2005 and has 6.2 Mercury Racing Scorpion 377's. They are 377hp, forged roller internals but not LS engines. That boat could also have 6.2 Mercury engines that are not forged internals and rated at 320hp. My water test sheet shows 76mph but I've never seen that at 2000ft.
