Yes this helps!! Thank you!
I am concerned about moving to a narrower beam than what I have now.
What speed to expect from twin 496's?
In the Heat we are still able to tube and ski (sort of). Am also considering if a twin 496 SS is up for this challenge too?
Look forward to photos if not too much problem.
Jeff

No problem Jeff, were here to help.

I wouldnt have too much concern over the beam size as far as handling in the 32 SS. It handles really great. Wayne and Joe have the boats dialed in perfectly!
With the twin 496's we are seeing speeds in the mid 80's with completely stock setups.
There is definitely enough power in the heat to pull skiers and tubes. If there was, I am sure Sunsation would not offer a ski eye as an option :D

Here are some pictures of the cabin on our 2008 SSR.

Tom,
Thanks again for the pics. It looks like plenty of room beside the head compartment. Will be a little tighter in the MCOB though. I am sure it has the power to pull skiers or tubes . Just wondering about maneuverability.
I just need to drive up and look at it in person. Do you have any MCOB's. I know there is one near Rochester.
Thanks again!
Jeff

Jeff,
The cabin in the MCOB and Closed bow is exactly the same. It is just the forward berth that changes. I have a MCOB on order now. What colors should I make it? :D

What kind of tips are those? I have never seen those before. Everything looks great. They just keep raising the bar.

They are actually custom made at the factory and called the Big Gun exhaust. Wayne and Joe just keep coming up with some really trick stuff....

Thanks

Litholizard, yes, we are boating on Memorial weekend. In fact, we are putting a group of boats to run from Lake City Minnesota to Lacrosse Wisconsin and back. Leaving May 24th and returning May 26th. We have 10 rooms booked in Lacrosse for both the 24th and the 25th. Great if you can join us.
