Time for a new boat
 

32 skater or f32 dcb?? very different boats I know but wanted to see peoples thoughts. I do most of my boating on the Detroit river, lake erie and lake st clair. running a 25 talon now and its time to move up.

.

are you looking for inboards on your next Skater?

.

yes I'm looking for an inboard boat preferably with merc power

32'/357
 

This is the baddest 32/357 on the market.

32' running surface
35' 7" LOA
10' 2" beam

And with Mercury 700's, NXT with #6 drives the boat with people and a load of fuel will run 140+MPH. Here are a few pics.

where is this boat listed??

32/357
 

Not for sale. Just showing what a new 32/357 Skater looks like. Can build you a new one.

No DCB'S allowed on our lakes, Skater's only. LOL. Your in the Skater forum, you will find no love for DCB'S here.

now to find a 32 merc boat,700/NXT is what I would like to get my hands on

I'm working on it.

Stainless has a sweet 32 with 710 Ilmores and #6, the First add in the Skater classifieds on OSO

nice boat I just really want to sick to merc power

Boo- I agree a 32 with 700 mercs and 6s would be awesome, then u could also upgrade the 700s to go faster if u want, don't know your budget but I would have Blume build u a 357 with 700s!

Thanks offshoresteve! Boo, Once you go Ilmors, you'll never go back! I was a merc guy for 25 + years, I suggest you do an Ilmor factory tour in Michigan, the level of technology and engineering know how is very impressive. Most don't know that Ilmor builds all the Indy car engines and rebuilds between races. The 700 Ilmor is more fuel efficient, reliable and has a longer rebuild interval than mercury 700's. And they run great!

Check out this video!

Cool video! What was your average speed during that run?

My buddy is thinking of selling his 2005 32B with 850 Larry Peto motors and numbers 6s. 40 hour boat all white with blue/sliver vinyl graphics. Also last year had Lugo Trailers do $9k of upgrades to the factory Skater trailer. Boat is in Lake Havasu. $190k

I know that boat, saw it in Loto 2 years ago, I remember when it was all white and up for sale, thought it was an 04? Anyhow, how fast is it?

For the part on the video, prob around 120ish once we were done with our photo shoot line up. I had a couple passengers on board and was running a little tight for a nice smooth ride.

How is the service on them? I've always been a merc guy and i like the service you can be anywhere and get parts and work done

Ilmor is great, they go above and beyond the call of duty! They will work with you to hook you up and get you what you need. The best thing about the engines is that they are Rock solid and dependable. No blower means less moving parts to break down.

why are u selling Stainless ??

Wifey wants a family boat...

looks like a family boat to me lol

Very cool! Nice ride for sure, someone is going to end up with a great boat.

Boat is now sold! Thanks Ron for your help!

Congratulations Steve

I am probably one of the few that have owned both a DCB and a Skater. I had a F-29 DCB. Nice boat, pretty well built. I now have a Skater and wouldn't go back.
Dave builds nice boats for sure, just different. PM me for details if you like, not into starting a p*ssing match here on OSO.

Thanks!

Congratulations on the sale

so whats next?

Thanks!

We will see, building something is half the fun!

any wraparound windshield 32's out there??

Vinnie Rifice was selling his 3212 with a wrap around windshield a while ago, think it is still available?

Anytime Bro

Thanks Steve I sent him info on that one last week and looking for some Merc 700's for it.
