32' Skater opinions?
 

How is the ride/handling? Was told 120-ish w/575 Sci's. Never considered myself a cat guy but this boat is priced right so that may soon change :cool: I wanted to get some info from you guys before I went any further with this....I have always been told that cats can't handle rough water. But the guy with the 32' said 6' rollers were not a problem, did'nt say anything about 6' slop;)

Tell me what your opinions are on this set-up and any other information I might have forgotten to ask :D

It's a sweet ride with those motors. Get the 1/4 0r 1/2 canopies. You won't be sorry.

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

it's not a 40' vee, but it will handle rough water... cats like to have some speed though to stay on top of it and just can't plow through it like bigger vees can.... it will be worth it when you hammer it in 2-3's though, :D

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

i'd rather run that boat in 6' chop then in 6' rollers...they dont like ocean rollers but slop isnt a problem...i boat on the Jersey Shore...always sloppy here

WHat is the fastest a 32' has ran with 575's? I had a guy today tell me he was running 128mph with a prop change, said Skaters were very easy to reprop for whatever you wanted to do on the water that day.

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

with the 575's they must be running bravo's.. how are they handeling it?
My buddies that have bravo's on 36's break them all the time..
is 32' the magic number for running bravo style drives?
are #6 to heavy?

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

I know a guy that sells them and he has had two 32s both with 575s and both with #6 drives and running 120 plus and another guy is buildin a 32 with 575s and #6s seems to be a good setup.

6 footers going to be all shot out like aggitator boat back in the day...nice reckless ride...yes you need 6s just to keep up with the beating your going to deal on the boat so you do not get killed...

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

I have 800SC's with wet #6's. Very good in the rough stuff under 4ft but will handle larger. I almost never have to pull the throttles back, the sixes give good weight in the stern and I almost never launch. Great speed as well, 100mph at 4000, 130mph at 5000rpm.

Know a 32 W/575 knocking on 130 in ideal conditions.Boat had a lot of of set time and testing in it.You'll need good drives and with high X's the tall props(36's) will break them if you're not careful.

sounds like a rocket :D

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

Wow send those drives out and have them dry sumped.

You will pick up another 10mph, you will love it.

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

Agitator runs right at 150 now !... :eek: :D

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

Our 32 Skater with 6 drives has run 162MPH at the Shootout. Top ends in the 170's. The faster it goes, the stabler it gets. It comes off waves/rollers very flat.

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

I have watched them many times ...did not know it was you...very impressive.. :D

Re: 32' Skater opinions?
 

I have 34" props and I am told 1:24 gears, never checked the gear ratio to verify. I might put it on the market, thinking of getting something else.
