Has anyone built a 32 with Merc 700"s?
 

Has anyone built a 32 with Mercury 700's and NXT's?? This would be a great poker run boat wouldn't it??

Chuck,
I do not think Scott has built a 32 with 700's yet.
I do no that Pro-Roc had one with 575's that ran in the high 120's.
I have one with 500's that runs great but 700's would be the ultimate..
Thanks for your time the other day answering my questions about the 36....

No problem, good luck with your search. Feel free to call me anytime with questions.

Rolf's (Proroc Marine) 32 actually ran a best of 132...awesome AWESOME boat...and he never even had to fill the balast tank

Thats really moving!!!!!!

Conrad has a 32 with phaff 750 hp that is almost at 150

Thats a fast 32!!!!

500 efi's does 107

I've squeezed 114 out of my 32 with 500 efi's

One in the classies with 800s now.

How???

Does 108 everyday with non labbed 32 pitch bravo's (on the limiters)

Did a best of 114 with some cut down & labbed 34's from B blades. Downhill with a tail wind.

Difuser ring cut off all props spinning inward.

A pair of Ilmor 625's w/ stk Bravo 1 4 blades will get you 120mph+.

130 w/ 625's

Sean,

Thats a totally different setup that Scott Conrad came up w/ using Stellings adjustable boxes & 5 blade Herrings. Doable but expensive as a retrofit. Definitely an option for a new build. Jay Pilini didn't build any Ilmor 32's w/ that setup.

i realize that, but for almost 10 mph, a set of props and ext boxes doesn't seem like a bad investment. people spend considerably more and get less all the time. and gaining that 10 mph and keeping the engine stock/warrantied is always a good deal.

I think Scot said he had $15k+ in that retro fit. If you add labor that would be fairly pricey.

If one had the money & the option to, building a new 32 w/ Ilmor 710's & the Stellings boxes would be the biggest bang for the buck since the boat comes w/ ext boxes standard. Ilmor 625's to 710's is less than $25k.

Ultimately the testing that Scot did & the fact he came up w/ several more mph just by moving the X dim is impressive. Not sure how comfortable to drive it would be for the less experienced pleasure cat owner. Remember Scot's a racer!
