Default 32 Skater Outboard Speed?

Does anyone know what a 32 Skater with 4 2.5's run? Also I know a 32 with 3 300x's run about 121 more or less. Has anyone heard of a 32 with 3 300x's or with 3 2.5's running faster than 121mph? Thanks

There is one for sale now with 4 2.5's. The boat is called Feel the Sting. I believe the boat ran 132 or so. I know they spent a lot of time setting that boat up.

THE STING is a new style 32B and was rigged by INGLE marine and is awesome, ran 130+
Quattro is now in th SF Bay area and is a 32' classic and also runs in the 130's and was rigged by John Vanderstel of offshore concepts.

There aren't many triple 32's capable of 120+ VERY FEW. Taqulia was the fastest one I ever saw in person.

So if that boat had 4 2.5's and ran that do you think a 32 with 4 300x's will run faster?

Hard to say overall they may run the same speed meybe slower , the 2.5 turns more rpms and each motor weighs about a hundred pounds less so your adding 400 lbs and turning less rpms, I personally like the 2.5s for flat out numbers. 4 300's would be alot of weight on the transom and would need a tanker along side to refuel ALOT.

I am trying to figure out who has the 32 in the bay area.
i know van depiro ( runs popra) has a 32 with 4 2.5's on it ,,
and i know there was a 32 with 3 300's i think, he lives a block from me never see the guy and now has a 36 with big power and 6's
i cant think of any other 32's out here with outboards.. hmm
i will be asking around now,,, : )
very interesting!!
do yu know anyone with an older skater or/ race boat that would want to get into a newer fast pleasureboat?
i am tryng to make it easy and find a deal where someone wants out of an old race boat and into a nice newer 100+ pleasure boat.
thanks either way
always appreciate your incredible amount of knowledge!!

There was a 32 ( old style ) in Toronto that ran 133..... with Tripples. The owners name skips my mind at the mommnet

( Andrew Martin )

Anyhow it was the Test bed for Alex Hledins 2.7 Mercs. 400+hp each.

Firewalker what engines did thar 32 have with tripples? 2.5's or 300x's Stock? I'm looking into buying a 32 wit tripples 300x's but it only runs 120 mph. Do you think the boat is not dialed in correctly or thats just what they run? Thanks

They start as 2.5's add 10k and you have a 2.7 with 400hp....... don't ask about the reliability.
Not a huge fan of the 300X's, but then again most guys shouldn't own 2.5 as they don't know how to care for them and don't bother with the maintenance.
