32 Skater questions
 

Is the 32 a handfull in rough water compared to the 36?? I have a buddy looking at a 2001 32 with #6's and Sterling 850's and I dont know the answers. I am told the top end of the boat is 150mph, does that sound right?? Come on you Skater guys gimme some input ..... are these good safe boats??

At 150 mph.....nothing is safe!!!

Re: 32 Skater questions
 

Is it a 32 classic or 32 B bothh are great boats but at 150 both are a handfull. Neither would compare to a 36 in "big" seas.

It is listed as a race/pleasure, doesnt have 1/4 canopies just the screen. It is at Lake Cumberland Marine. Here are a few pics.... If you were to take a guess what speed do you think she runs????

The drive turning in won't make it handle any better. I'm sure it's plenty fast.

I think quite a few people were impressed with "Junkman" this weekend at the Grand Slam Run. You wouldnt expect that boat to handle the water like it does. It is a 32 open cockpit with 1100's and sixes.

I have a new 368 and it handles the water great, been in a 32 with the 850's before i built my 36 . 32 ran 138.

140 is realistic for the 32 with that power, Safely in those waaves you can run about 80-90 safely. The 36 will span a constant waave pattern like in the ocean better, but in rough chop you wont see much difference. Ran with a 36 and 40 skater in Chicago poker run, we were saafely running 90-100 in 4-5' but that is all we wanted of it. Use your common sense in that kind of water you can hook a sponson so fast if you dont know how to approach waves of that size.
