Finally splashed the boat. Engines are STOCK, down to the risers and exhaust, front water pumps, 340 hp turning out ,3 bladed mirage's 25 pitch. Just thought I would share( yes I know it is not a rocket ship but wasn't really expecting this with the weight on board), the boat came to plane in no time. Heard horror stories on these not planning off, not a issue at all, jumped rite up, even with 5 guys on board. Might get 70 out of it light on fuel with 2 or 3 of us. Going to look for some 26's as these spun to 5k no problem. Just thought I would share. Boat is 91 non stepped boat with 1.5-1 bravo's. 70+ should be easy with a re-prop.

Looks good. What is your fuel capacity? Anymore pictures?

Thanks man. Just these 2 of it in the water so far. We literally fired the engines yesterday LOL. Have a set of 555 darts we were going to put in here, but picked up a old 10 meter, that should run a little faster then this hull. So we picked these, fig it will be good and reliable with stockers. As for fuel, I am not sure, but I think the tank is 80 gallon or so. I know the boat had 60 gallon in it.

my friend just picked up a 92 32 502/415. it came w/ 25 3 blades on it. we put bravo 26 4 blades on it he was only able to turn it 4600 rpm. let me know how you make out with yours. being less power. i dont think my friend was running his boat to its potential. nice looking ride!!

Good looking boat !
I had a 2000 with 454 mags, ran 74 WOT with me in it and not much fuel, so you are doing well.
Enjoy your boat, and keep us updated.

He should have been able to spin the 25's to 5k no problem. I think the 26's 4 blades sounds about right. 1 more blade is ruffly a 200 rmp drop, along with a inch of pitch is about 200. Not sure how soon i will up to a 26, but again these things spun to 5k no problem. I think these blue water mercs are ruffly 340 hp. And thanks for the comp. i can't wait to get our 33 running with 7xx hp a side. I was very impressed with the ride on this 32 as it is the first 32 i have rode in. Everything just felt rite. drives were out, with no tab at all. Might have been able to squeeze a little more out but..

Thank you, were you spinning the props out or in? Were the engines stock( exhaust or water pump deletes?) Just curious. Maybe spin these in next year and see what ot nets along with a up in prop.

My boat finally broke the 70mph mark 71.3 on the 12th for my birthday, I have some dinged up props & a bad bushing on the bell of 1 of the drives(has some play). New port motor seems to be completely broke in & finally got some cooler air that day right before dark!! Was really surprised to see that #

Glen FWIW I have put roughly 113-115 gallons in @ once on mine so I'd say either 120-130 gallon is the tank!! Boat always seems to take more fuel & easier if you have the a** sitting a Lil low like they do in the water...

I have a 109 gal tank in my 32 single step. I like the way the pre-step 32 sits. I think fountain cut the step off the bottom and that is why they sit alot lower than the non-step hulls.

I was looking over my documentation and notes from fountain and it said mine had a 115 gallon tank. I thought before 130 but not from these notes.

Also needs to be setting in the water to get close to being able to fill it.

I like how the older 32's vents are on the side and not back, only reason I can figure they changed it was maybe worried about pulling the fumes right back in?
