Stainless- could you post some pics and info of your boat? Feel free to start your own thread or use this one.

It looks AWESOME!

Thanks MM, It's an 07 32 with 710 ilmors and 6 drives. Love the boat, runs great!
I've got some pics that were taken by Tim Sharkey during the hudson fun run, but i've had challenges posting them. Maybe Tim could help me out and post some here! Thanks for the compliment!

Yes Steve's boat is awesome!! Have had the pleasure of running with him in some nasty water and the boat just hauls!!! Steve and I have the red cats of CT club! Not the best pics but this is on the sea trial.

The little swipe of blue really makes the colors pop!

Very nice!!

32 or 32B?

Really love the lines- how the front seems to kind of dip down; almost like an arch with the front and the rear are lower than the middle sort of. Know I'm not saying it right but it looks frickin awesome! The white hull helps that sleek look as well; esp in the front where the graphic stops and the white starts and wraps down towards the deep part/middle where the tunnel is.

Any #'s you can post on it without getting in trouble with the insurance guys?

How's the wind down the middle with the split windshield?

I'd love to see a comparison between your boat and the 30 with 710's in it!

32b (it's a 2007 ,they stopped making the original 32 a while ago- 2001 I believe??), still playing with props, and have to recalibrate the gps after switching to a battery free antennae, so not 100% sure on top speed.(You can watch GLH's video of the hudson run to get some ideas of the speeds we were running) The 6 drives on boxes really keep the boat hooked up and let you leverage the boat to do things with it you cant on a bravo boat. The nice surprise is the awesome gas mileage i've been getting out of the Ilmors, very surprised and much better than i anticipated.(Would estimate about 2 mpg crusing at 100) There are only 2 back seats , so the wind down the middle is not an issue as there's no middle rear passenger.( I can run wide open with virtually no wind behind the qtr canopy) Overall, Pete did a real nice job, as usual!

Steve,

My GPS Speedo antenna crapped out too & I went thru the whole battery replacement w/o any success so I wired mine directly into my Garmin GPS & it works perfect as long as I have the Garmin uncovered & on. No calibration necessary. It's running both my front & rear speedo plus the Garmin digital display.

If I had my way I'd lose most of my gauges for a few Data Tachs. I have 4 Tachs & 2 speedos in my helm. Data tachs would clean the dash up nicely. I'm not really a smartcraft display kinda guy although I know many of the newer high end boats are incorporating those style.

I am wondering why the boat only runs 101 with 710's? The slip ratio of 14% is high and the speed seems quite low. I would guess closer to 135 mph. Maybe I did not read the thread correctly?

Only problem is I've got a north star gps, and it only reads to 99.9 mph

Obviously I needed to give you more credit but less to the original owner or whoever spec'd that bad boy out for a Cat Are there any Cat's that go less than 100?
