Re: any 32 owners?
i have an 88 31' sutphen spirit,i have had the boat since new,
i love the boat, i had an 86 scarab 30 before the sutphen, there is no comparison, the sutphen is faster, much better and drier ride. the boat is for sale and listed in the oso classifieds. if the boat sells, i will be looking for a used 39. My son has an 87 30' sutphen ocean pacer, they are both sweet boats, the differences between the 30 and31 are minor, but the most significant are #1 the cockpit area is larger on the 31. #2 the windshield is radiused on the 31, flat on the 30.#3 the access to the cabin on the 31 is improved. #4 the access to the engine room is larger on the 31. i dont think there is a better boat out there in this size range than a sutphen, whether it's a 30', a 31', or the newer style 32'.

Had a 1990 31 with 620 KE motors and Bravos. That was a really fun boat. I don't think there is a regular V bottom 32 out there that has a better ride in the rough or the top speed than a Sutphen. Ran them for 20+ years and have never regretted it.

They have only made the new 32's with a single so far. You can get it with twins though. Id like to see more new Sutphens out there. They have just fallen off the scene in the last 10 years. They build as good of boat as anyone out there today.
