Looking forward to seeing how many 32 Phoenix invade the Cocoa Beach race. SS class should have some great racing this yr with the new boats being built, and the the fleet from last yr.

Perfect Balance

The Phoenix 32 XPR was lifted with one strap to determine where the CG (center of Gravity) is located. The guys at SmartMarine couldn't be any happier. The CG location and the hull weight all came in as expected

The 32 XPR cockpit is complete. Here's what SmartMarine is saying:

"From concept to reality, the Phoenix 32 XPR stylized widebody interior has come to life. With recesses for additional storage, contrasting paint work, hidden LED lighting, grab handles, cup holders, and an awesome JLaudio sound system, this interior provides the space needed to include all the features of the most elaborate build without crowding equipment and sacrificing aesthetics. Dash and forward side recesses can handle with ease side mounted MercuryRacing Zero Effort controls, Simrad NSS12 and NSS9 chartplotters, a pair of VesselView702bySimrad, and even a Yeti Hopper. Purposeful design lends to clean, sharp line..."

when will one be rigged?????

This is a quote from another forum by the builder yesterday:

"The first 32XPR has gone to paint and will be on the water in a matter of a few weeks."

Why would you determine the CG when the interior and engines still need to go in?

Again, quote from other forum by the builder:

"In regards to the CG, we've pre-weighed every components we put into a rigged boat to determine the moment generated by each part; everything meaning motors, whether 300XS or 400R's, their specific rigging, then the seats, windshields, bilge pumps, hatch hardware, chartplotters, hydraulic lines, thru hull fittings, etc. I mean ALL of it. The sum of these moments produce a CG of their own. This figure paired with the CG of our bare hull gives us our total rigged CG. We then move rigging & motor offset around to adjust the total CG (setting up a spreadsheet in excel with all formulas built into it helps a ton and makes rigging decisions quick and easy to determine). The difference between a rigged 300XS and 400R we have within 3.5". This also helps us place the fuel tank directly on the CG so that fuel level does not alter the attitude of the boat underway.

Nothing we do is just for the hell of it. We build with a purpose."
