Ryan did a great job recreating the iconic "High Risk" graphics from back in the day! I'm a little bummed to see that the boat was re-rigged with twin 300s however. My 32A is exactly as it left Skater 24 years ago!

Center gear cases lead a hard and short life, though...

Three 300X engines could have a great next life on three tunnel hulls on the Delta, and two 500Rs would be the perfect power for your 32A.

That would be like hanging a pair of 500's on the back of David Mercury's 36. It would work but everything that makes the boat unique and run they way they do is gone.... Skater 30 said his is a 32A (faster hull with OB's IMHO)

this seems a bit weird matt doing a feature on a boat sold many years ago and apparently residing somewhere in canada now? its neat to keep history alive with memories and features of our colorful past

If Mercury had made a 500 hp engine when the 32 came out, it would have been rigged with two of those from the factory. Triple 2.4s was the best that was available at the time.

Corrected.
