If those are the motors going in your 32, please be very careful and get lots of hours before pushing it. Four guys were killed in a 32B that looked very similar to the one you just purchased with similar motors (pair of 900-1,000hp blower motors) just a few months ago up here on Lake Folsom. It's a relatively small boat for all the weight of blower motors and #VI drives on the transom. It will be faster than you need to go, so just be careful. I'd really recommend that you go out with somebody with hundreds of hours behind the wheel of a similar boat or take a high performance boating class such as the one taught by Tres Martin. Congrats again on the purchase, it's going to be one FAST rig!

That will be a wicked fast boat. Do not let the cat ride fool you. Learn the boat before you feel the need to find out how fast it is. The transition from v hull to a cat is real.

I don't want to Hijack Donzs' thread, but, myself and others i'm sure would like to hear more about how you like your Talon after the Jag Doug. Maybe you could start a thread on the Hustler forums. You bought the Talon without power IIRC. She looks *****in in the water.

The Talon Guy. Lol

Thanks for your concerns and everyone's else. But you can bet whatever you want that he's as pre-cautious as they come TRUST me. To much if you ask me. But for boating it's a good thing. Also we know people that have dialed in many hrs in all size Skaters. He's already looking into Tres's course. He's as anal as they come.

On another note, it's nice to have the power there ready to go as long as you have the control and know when your ready to push it or not and at that he's good. Hope to have "Ruffled Feathers" in the water soon.

16.5x40 1.36 ratio you should be able to run around 100 at 3500 RPM with that kind of torque.

thedonz 10-02-2014 10:03 AM

Thank you all for your words of concern and advice. I appreciate it and will be VERY CAREFUL.

S30,

I read about that terrible accident at Folsom. Extremely sad. These types of toys can bite you in the ass at any moment. We must always keep that in mind.
