Questions about a 29
Hi folks, I'm looking to pick up a used 29 and like the idea of the twin big blocks. Why aren't they offered new that way any more? Did they have problems ? And are there any common problems on these boats I should look for? Thanks for any help.

Fountain Problems???
None that I know of ...Two things that might be ,,,(1) power to weight ratio the two engins are a weight issue in a smaller hull but do look and sound Awsome!
(2)fuel comsumpton other than that no issues that I have heard of. Do know of a few local 29s for sale in Nh 1 has twins and is (or Was ) at channel marine in laconia Nh and the others were at a few other marinas on the lake.. I will look them up If you want.. Hope this helps. Bob I also Know of a 27 that might be for sale |
29s
There are (2) 29s w/singles 500 hps for sale up here...the one at channel was sold.

steamfitter, I had a 29 with twin 454 blower motors. the boat was fast and a hand full at w.o.t. The only problem I found with the 29 with twins is that the weight of the motors made the boat set so low ,that the exhaust was to close to the water. I installed high risers to eliminate reversion. I also took the silent choise system off and the Y- pipes to lift the transom. But all in all that 29 was a lot of fun.

I just sold my 29 with twin 502 EFI's for 36,000. to give you a idea on price. But that boat would shoot out of the water and stand up!!! I completly stood it up twice, that was enough for me. I would look at a 32

Sometimes I don't know whether to kiss him or punch him. ;) :D :D Trent is a great guy. He'll work at selling it. |
Todd,
No BBC in 32's anymore. How many 32's have you heard of being swamped? I don't know of any. |
Trent
Thanks Jerry

I have heard of one 32 that swamped but it is hard to say what the real cause was. I had my eyes set on a 32 with twin BBC but ran across a deal on a 38 Fever and the wife said lets get it. I still have not figured out why they removed it from their current line-up.

Originally posted by miamiboats What year was the 29, sounds like a good deal. They stopped making the 29 with big blocks for that very reason! I still like the boats though, very fast! The boat was a rocket but I Had A deal on the 42, I couldn't refuse! |
Originally posted by pachangalpina Another problem. Do they still offer the 32 with twin big blocks? I know used ones are readily available but I thought new they were only avail with twin small blocks. Heard it had to do with the swamping issues:confused: Todd Howerton Outlaw Performance Products Outlaw Disc Brakes www.outlawdiscbrakes.com |
The 32 is in the latest ads, so they may still be making them.
|
the 32 is still current but why did they drop the 38 Fever?

Probaly cause it is a pain to get over the window just to dock the boat. Thats just my guess.

I just traded my 28 Pantera with twin 496's in for a new executioner, I had the same problem, the boat was tail heavy and would fly the nose, scary at times, i would have to run a lot of tab in it to keep the nose down.......
