I bought a 99 last year but they call it a 3200 with Bravo's so must be a 32. I measureed rub rail to rub rail its 30ft exactly plus the drives. These are some fine handling boats, especially in rough water, and very good speed also. Just good overall feeling when cruising. Riders are usually impressed.

i have a magazine article where this exact boat was picked up by Hot Boat Magazine in 99 and tested and put an article in the magazine. When i can dig it up i could post it on this forum, but never posted a file before so not sure how.

By the way, the water scoops, how far below the hull are they?

This boat came with Latham rectangular scoops that were a ridiculus 7/16" to 1/2" deep, and they are 2 1/4" wide at that. Lot of drag. Latham was no help with advice other than "that's the factory recommendation" so i started grinding off 1/8" at a time and watched the pressure. I ended up at 1/8" below and stopped there. I have heard you can go up to even. Filing a radius in the front edge helps draw the water up so i did that also. Drags much less, not so gigantic and trough dug in the water behind them anymore.
