32' Skater opinions?
#1
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
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

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,

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.

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?

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.
