I was the one that owed this boat for over a year . The fastest I ever seen was 118.2 mph when low on fuel but keep in mind that was with the props I received with it when I purchased it. They were 3b 34's on the outside and a 3b 32 on the center and the props were in good but NOT perfect shape. With perfect thinned 3b 34's I believe 122 mph would be possible.

What year did you own my 32 ? I would be happy with 105 with a new pair of 300Opti's ! I have been running the new Hydromotive Ouad 4- X 28 on my IO race boat and night and day over any other prop I tested . What type of prop runs best for OB Skater ?? I would rather have a prop that works best in mid range with 5 people than a prop that only shines @ WOT

The 32 with the trip 300x's that Shogren had. The last owner lived in VA and boated on our river. I am not saying its not capable, but it never did it as far as I know. I am pretty sure it ran 114.7 or something in the radar run 2 years ago on our river. I raced him at least 10 times and he ran almost an identical speed to my 28 w/300 promax's. I am sure he was carrying a ton of fuel but just saying....I never saw the boat run the numbers that were mentioned. The center motor did give him some troubles...and I think the center lower about 2 or 3 times.

In no way shape or form do I think it would make sense for a third on our 32 , not worth extra fuel , weight , stress on transom and rigging for an extra 10 MPH !! I will be extremely happy if my hunk of **** runs 100 MPH with new 300 Opti's !

I had a intermitent problem with the center motor that plagued me for over a month , the motor would only turn 5500 - 5800 rpms while the others would get on the limiters . Finally figured it out , it was the alternator and had it replaced . After that all was good. I did go through two lower units on the center motor in one season though : ( ...
