Still trying to get the interior upholstery and carpet done... Got a new lower unit to match the newer fat shaft fleetmaster and having them both painted now. Get those on and finish up the lighting wiring and should be ready, hopefully just a couple more weeks.
Will post pics soon.

Wow! Sweet. Nice repower, what numbers are you seeing with the 350's? Need more details, props etc. Looks like you have 4 fuel tanks, where are they located and what capacity? Just curious how this 32 is set up as an original ob boat vs. mine that was originally inboard/ arneson rigged.
Thanks - MM

My boat was originally an outboard boat. It was built in 1995 by Mark McManus. It's a Kevlar carbon hull, so it's rock solid!! I only have 2 fuel tanks, the 4 fills are so you can fill from either side. The rear tank is 96 gallons and the front which is more mid is 44 gallons both are set between the stringers. I love the way this thing handles in the rough!! Right now I'm running bravo fs 4blade 25p and I've seen 77 but ran out of space where I was testing. I have some other props we are going to try this summer in Lake Ozark.

That's awesome. I didn't realize til I looked back at your old picture that you got rid of the "on the edge" graphics. Is that added reinforcing on the transom for the new power? The LED trim display looks nice, I kept the old mechanical ones on mine. Interesting that my forward tank which is 5' in front of the helm bulkhead is 82gal. and my 2 rear tanks are 60gal each, just thinking about center of gravity/balance.
I spoke with Brad a BBlades a few weeks ago and he thought 4 blade B 1's or possibly their own " OBS" prop that has a 14 3/4" Diameter would be their top choice. We'll see soon enough I hope... have a set of 25" mirage plus's just to get a baseline.
