ere did you see the 32?

68 is pretty bad with a 525, regardless of temp, something is wrong there. That’s 496 speed. I have two buddies with 525s going 79 and 80 which is pretty normal. I have a 24 hydro and I easily hit 70 before I even start trimming the boat. Tabs at 2.5-3 and I’ll pull the drive to 5 depending on conditions.

Keep in mind the the swim platform of a 32 sits extremely low in the water and the cockpit of a 32 is the same size as a 27. It’s very small. You won’t see more speed with those motors in a 32 compared to 29 single with right motor. 29 to a 35 is the only move that makes sense when going bigger.

plus your probably 50 hp more than the 500

30 hp difference between the two and the 525 is supposedly close to 100lbs heavier

so, anyone know what to do to add like 50 hp to a 496 ho? had a fountain with the 496 and couldnt get it running over like 62.. any suggestions? it was an brand new x drive and i believe a 26 bravo 4 blade. just didnt seem like the motor had enough oooomph for the boat....... thoughts?

Nothing personel 353

29' Fountain faster then a 27' single or a 32' twin equal power Get a 29' with twin small blocks if any out there!?

A 525 has aluminum heads so it should be about 75lbs lighter than a 500 efi, not 100 lbs heavier.
