diesels
I convert my 32 hustler to diesel here in europe and chose for the cmd 4.2 320 hp which are the same weight as a BB and give not to much tq for the bravo drives wich I upgraded to XR to be a little saver .
The boat runs awesome spinning 34 bravo s to 3750 rpm and does 72 mph every day and the midrange accelaration is incredible only thing is that it takes slightly longer to get on plane but when the turbo scome in you have to back up the sticks .
and a vid

Love that Black 32 Hustler. Those boats will run. Looked at one that had the original arneson drives, 427CI 450HP engines. Ran close to 90 with that power. With 600's they went 100mph. I think the bravo equipped 32's ran mid-upper 80's with HP500s....
72 aint bad for some small 320HP diesels. Curious, what made you want to do the diesels over the traditional chevy based big blocks? Fuel useage? Parts availability? Im sure things are different overseas. Around here, big block chevy parts are a dime a dozen, they run forever with proper maintainance, and simple to rebuild. Im sure they are no where nearly as efficient on fuel.

And it have à better value if i want to sell it there are second to none high performance diesels here in europe or you have to pay big $$$$$!!
