That boat still holds the Mississippi River race record (New Orleans to St. Louis).

The boat was originally going to be a singe 1350 Turbine to twin ASD8's and then things changed and it was sold to Mike Torsone out of NJ. which had Pro Roc rig in the 496's and Arnesons

It would have been a awesome boat. We designed a splitter box and all. Figure it would have ran in the 130's which is not a bad speed.

The 32b is a great boat and I would take it either way. Even the 496ho's can be a death wish if your not careful. It's still a 100mph boat and anyone can manage to screw something up driving one.

oh I agree, my 28 can be either as well...it just seems a little much to me for a 32 IMO but to each his own
