Thats cuz u the Man... I have Millers/ you old flatdeck at texoma now doing a re-rig. That thing has gone way down hill the past few years.

The ones in the pic aren't the ones. We lost our 18x32 4 blades. Not an expensive set of props, but hey, $2500 is $2500..........

Yea, that top would have to go ASAP. Nice looking boat, Wet sumps though... If it wasnt 335k id look into it

god knows where the props really are. I talked to Daniel at Brousseau about 2 months ago, and he says they still have them and that he just forgets to keep shipping them out..... well, they were borrowed over 2.5yrs ago.

335 K. Why even put it up for sale at that price? I know #6 boats are up there but wow.

Sounds like a LDD deal.....

Bobby, I agree. I know where I can get a 08 700/NXT boat for not much more. Gotta get realistic.

Really? When did you get it?
Last time I saw the boat, about 6 years ago, she was looking a little tired.

For the 2yrs I owned it we had some fun with it on the ole Mississippi. Glad it's in good hands.

I brought it down here about a month ago when i sold my SC. I had to take my old one to the factory for the new owner to meet me. I went out drinking with Miller while i was up there and brought this one home. Didnt intend on it but thats what happened. As far as the Mississppi stuff goes, that river gets a little wild, HogBack island in particular. LOL.

Here's a vintage shot and where it all started for me.

[endeavor1]

Those are still good looking boats. How did they run?

[Salesmanship]

I had two. The blue one had the 454 Mags and topped out about 70. The second one was red with the fairing and no windshield. It had 502's and was a couple MPH faster.
They were pretty fast for their day (early 90's) and handled ok.
The best thing about them was a lot of cockpit seating for a 32.

Weren't there a couple 32's though with tweaked bottoms and bigger power that ran close to 100mph? If my young (limited) memory serves me right, there was a burgundy one with big power (big power for its day at least).

Is this the red one you had?

I'll see if I can find the mag where our 32' was tested, I think it was maybe hotboat, but they quoted the handling on ours as "Schizophrenic" My dad decided to leave the stock motors in it after that.

I don't remember your Dad's boat being tested. It was Powerboat that tested the 32 w/ 502's in '92. They thought it was overpowered and they gave BT the chance to correct it and bring it to another test before they printed the article.
When it was time for the test they had a boat that looked exactly the same. Don was big on red and white back then. This boat had 454 mags in it.
PBM thought it was the same boat just repowered. For whatever reason that boat handled better and they assumed it was because of less horsepower.
But when the article came out they said the first boat was Schizophrenic.
Well that about put an end to selling any more of the 32's from that point. We didn't do anymore tests with the 32 as that was about the time the flat deck 43 came out.
Dave Brown had those "big" HP 450's in the burgundy but it ran in the low 80's. The B class race boat also ran in the low 80's. I don't know of anybody running any more power or speed than that.
The photo of the all white 43 flat deck on the sandbar was taken at the Hotboat Trials near Ft. Myers Beach, probably '93. That was 43 # 2. A friend of mine and I trucked it all the way from MO. Seemed like a pretty remote place at the time. Now I pass by that same sandbar every time I go boating.

Could be. They built a few of them in that color. I had 502's.
The cabin was adorned with beautiful tufted red ultra suede and big buttons.
