Looked at your #37 post and it does say 32 a. Been in several and sold a few of them but don't know the beam but it is narrower then the new 32b which would be the size of your 88.

Call me crazy but I've got six inches of 308 Skater hanging over each side of my trailer 8'6" trailer and everyone I meet on these narrow Arkansas highways dodges me! Also when we added 10" to the middle of a 308 hull to make the 338 we ended up with a 10' 6" beam by the time the deck was finished. I'm pretty sure the 30 has a 9'6" beam.

Sam your close, Louie's boat started out at 9' 4" beam and ended up just short of 10' 2" beam. The 308 I think measures 9' 4" but for internet conversation it's got to be what's on the Skater web-site or you get your butt handed to you.
I'm doing well and I hope Will is continuing making progress and all is good with you and your family.
Blume how are ya?

" ...you get your butt handed to you " too funny Blume!
I measured the width of a Skater trailer bunks for a 32B, and the maximum tunnel width on a 32B is approx 51", when measured under the chine, inside the tunnel

Most 32a will run right around 95-102 with twin 300X OB's, the 300XS will be a few ticks slower. A 32b will be significantly slower with OB's. The 32b was designed to be better suited for I/O's. OB's will work on the 32b, but it won't be too much of a performer.
Since you seem to only be talking about 32b's above, your numbers are VERY optimistic for a 32b/ twin 300 OB combo!
