Nice - I took a ride with Joe Skrocki in his 32 and couldn't believe how hard it accelerated, just had this fantastic midrange punch. 32 AT is a very nice ride!

Mitch,

My 32 AT did 81 in 97 degree at the LOTO shoot out a couple years ago. I would have won had I been in the stock twin V 30 - 32' div. But I had just had the motors freshened after 325 hrs and there were no more seals on the 500 hp's so they bumped me to modified. These boats all had blowers, all running in the 90's. Oh well I know how strong my stock boat ran.

I was thinking the same thing. At 3 on my drive idicator it's at neutral.
