I have had a 1981 F32 for 10 years and think its a great boat. I would check stringers and you did not mention engines that are the boat you are looking at. Also check gas tanks. I have the original tanks and no problems yet. Gd luck

F32 Gauges

Looking for opinions--have an 81 f32 with dual stations-- original gauges--know that the gauges are not accurate--I think---do gauges wear out----would replacing senders help-- if new gauges are needed have to rewire all--or should i not look for problems--Thanks---boat on hard ground for winter

gen set

I would think each has to have its own fuel line. If both were on the same line and both running at the same time, I think one would not get enough fuel.

good Luck

Alternator Question

Have 318 engines and replaced alternators 2 yrs ago--single wire. Notice the last few days one gauge is reading about 12 when started and barely goes to 13. It was reading past 13 after starting engine and giving it throttle. Also notice when turning ignition switch on barely gets out of red. Had th...

6.5 onan

i was going to run my gen without the 2 thermostats and my mechanic says not to. I do not leave it running long at all--usually just to make coffee. Was going to replace then over the winter

Any thoughts

Thanks

I meant t o say it is the alarm that beeps when you turn on the ignition switch. It is working on one engine and not the other. They are 318 engines on a 1981 f32---what should I look for

F32 forward deck

Just had my 1981 f32 surveyed for my insurance company. The only issue that was mentioned was the area on deck around the cleats. I checked the area and does not feel soft . Surveyor mentioned that there is some softness and could weaken the holding of cleats. Has anybody have the same problem? What...

I re-powered a couple of years back and only wished that I repainted the bilge at that time. I saw a picture of one that was painted. Not sure if you would be better off using an epoxy base paint, but I am sure there are people here that are more knowledgeable
