best props, 32 fever
 

I have a 32 fountain fever, 502 mags,no steps. Does
anyone know what props work best on this boat?
It came with 23 mirages on it and set of 4 blade
Hydromotives in boxes. It ran about 74 mph at 5200
with the mirages,but was slow to get on plane and
acceleration was so-so. I put the hydros on & lost
2 mph at 5000,but it got out of the hole & accelerates
like a motherF@ck#, so I left them on, then I bashed the crap out of them on a rock last night!!!!

Don't know about the props, But I have a beautiful brand new, factory, cockpit cover for sale for your 32 fever... Never used, $395.00..... $1500.00 if you order it from Fountain... Email if [email protected]

Come on guys,I know these boats are a dime a dozen
any ideas, or experience with a different boat,similar
power?

i have non step 35 and with the stock 502's 450 hp ran 25 hydros on it and they were hands down the only way to go,, i would buy my 25's and have em labbed to suit your rpm's u want to pull, i would spin em just over 5000 rpm and i was getting 77+
i would let u have the 25's for 550 for the set, real nice.
lab em and then just trim em out to 7 and haul TAIL..
GOOD LUCK

Jonas, you have a set you want to sell?

Hydromotive props
 

The hydro are pretty good on thi boat,we can reair the props back to original and see if we can get a couple mph out of them ,Let me know Darin 281-580-7767

Where did u buy the boat? What year is it? What colors? - It might be my old boat. If so, I can help you with props.

I believe Ricks boat is a 1992 He boat it thru a dealer/broker in Michigan

WD833, I bought it from Riverview Marine in Illinois
It used to have a blue ribbon stripe & a blue,white & gray interior, but now it looks like this. I put a new
custom paint job, interior,powder coated all the
grab handles,new dash & gauges,it looks like a new boat. The title was from Long Island, so if it was yours
I would love to talk to you!!!!

bad pic,let me try that again

yes i will let u have my 25's for cheap call me if interested 925 516 4654
or 925 437 2279
got some 28's and 30's now so these are just taking up space in their boxes in the garage/

man your pics are sooo small

I'll get this right!!!

Man!!! That resizing the pictures $hit,always goofs me up!! Jonas I'm going to pull the hydros off this week
and find out what they are ( I really dont know). If
they are 25's I'll call you. I'm going to send my mirages
to houston props & get them labbed,but I want to have
another set of props.

cool let me know
boat looks great

Yes - it was my boat. The hydromotives are worked 21's. The mirage 23's are better top end props but the hydromotives were better in Ocean runs and only 2 miles slower on top end. If motors are still stock, the 25 hydromotives will be too much prop. The boat looks great!!! I love the paint job. Hope you have as much good luck with the boat as I did. I bought a 35' Fountain from Riverview. I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Wd833, I'm glad I found you. Gotta love OSO. I tried
getting a phone number from the address on the Hydro
boxes, but no luck. Thanks for the prop info, I had a
feeling the 25's were a bit to much ( Thanks anyway Jonas) . I see the starboard engine was replaced.
Is it a Merc 502 or a crate motor ? 415 hp ? Have the
drives been reworked or are they original ?I had to
put a Helicoil and replace one hinge pin. By the way
how do you like the 35. I saw a brand new Executioner
at the N.Y.C. boat show for 128K and was very tempted,
but I'm building a new lake house and it just ain't in
the budget!!! Thanks again for any info. I love the boat
and take care of it like a baby. ( I sold my 28 Checkmate
and the guy who bought it keeps it beautiful, don't know
why,but it means something to me) Rick

I definitely go with steel... :)

23 Mirage or low pitch Bravo 1's would work good. Also, Hydromotive's will get you more top end but you would need to demo a few to find which is best. Good luck!
