Did not notice that part, but 60k seems pretty reasonable for a 32 Skater with Merc SC600's

perfect platform for an Arneson conversion... and you could do an accurate before/after mph reporting as an offering to the OSO brothern

Obviously you would have to really want an "A" boat and justify the $$$ for Arneson's in the long run...but if you really like the boat and planned on having it for a while - Arneson's would really open up your options for future upgades WITH reliability

If someone put 450 hours on it the way it is, why the he ll would you screw with it. Rebuild power and run it!

...cause it's always a quest for more speed. Pyburn's 388 was blistering with 1350's @ 183 - now he's turning 1650's

Simply rebuild the black 600's and run'em???

Everybody on here would be tweaking for a bit more from the motors is it was cost effective... and so it starts from there, but it always comes back to the bravo's limiting the boat
