Looks awesome Craig! 56 w/twin clip on's in a 32' boat is amazing!
Can't wait to see and run with it in person.
Love the classic offshore lines.

That looks awesome and nice #s to boot. 56mph with 500hp? Any idea what the hull weighs?

Thanks - Marshall

56 mph with 400hp. I am hoping to have third engine on it within 2 weeks. I was told that the hull alone with power is about 3000 lb's but I havent had it weighed yet. I am going to weigh it once all the power is on to know what I have.

I found another old picture of the boat before restoration with outboards.

I just done installing center engine & test running on the hose, everything seems to be right. sea trial tomorrow with pictures.

Nice...

I put the boat in the water yesterday for sea trial. I ran the boat , it popped right up on plane but the center engine went right to overheating. I am going to have to put a lower water pickup on it or miracle plates. It is always something with testing & tuning.

The boat is sitting about 5 inches lower in the rear with the 3rd engine installed. There is no fuel in the bow tank right now. Once I get the overheating problem fixxed, I will put some fuel in the bow tank to see how she floats. The project is moving along just fine with just a few minor setbacks. I will get more pictures of sea trial soon.

looks good.

Just lower your center motor down to the level of the outside two engines. Then also add an L-shaped transom mounted water director plate. The miracle plates,(Merc gearcase water intake plates) I would only use as a last resort. Should be good to go. Of course, you know the real solution to your water-pressure woes. Cresents gearcases. Then they can all go up a bit, and still have plenty of pressure. But, you know that...lol. You got your lefty in the center?
