Should Have This Long Ago But Better Late Than Never . My 32 Classic As Most Of You Know Was A Race Boat And Had Extra Big I Think 120 Gl Per Side Tanks . The Problem Is They Stick Up 4 Or 5 Inches High In The Cockpit Area , Thinking About Lowering Them Which Would Involve Cutting Lid @ All Edges , Trimming Baffles And Then Glassing Lids Back On , Not A Big Deal . Does Anyone Have A 32 Classic That Can Post A Few Pics Of The Area Shown ? Looked In Classified And Although A Few Pics , But Need Close Up Please . I Think This Was Just Done On A 40 On The Other Post

Really not a big deal since my boat is Vinylester . just going to saw-zaw around perimiter , cut baffles 4 inches and reglass lid back on . Will take plenty of pics

This pic also shows that the port and starboard gunwales have knees to add strength and support.

Will the new configuration have the same knee supports?

from where I'm pointing to and over to the the port side of cockpit the floor will be flat , only race version had boxed in floor grid and pleasure had open floor plan

I thought 120 gals. Side was standard for the 32?

KEVLARKAT32

not really sure , but if it is then these are 140 ? It was a triple engine 2.5 many years ago

My 32 was 144 per side ( with quads it needed it, trust me ) . They are smaller now since we re-did them
