No rudder mod that I know of. I've heard stories that the rudders were designed to be larger but that they had problems with bent rudder posts and shrunk them to reduce the stress on the post. I don't know how true that is. My F-32 doesn't wander at slow speed UNLESS i'm in a following or quatering ...

Rusty, there isn't enough information with which to offer much help. Theres some obvious problems, such as speed. When both engines were running good, your 18 knot top speed is low. Presuming those 351's were around 250 HP, you should have been able to hit 23-26 knots depending on boat weight. So ev...

Clarion, the F-32 has a dry weight of between 12000-12800 pounds. I've heard differing stories including that this weight was for the base model 321 sedan, which did not include the optional flybridge. My boat is also an F-32 with twin Volvo diesels (200 hp each) and there is another one with twin 2...

Clarion, I think one of the esiest ways to tell an F-32 and an F-36 apart is the foredeck. The F-36 has a 1 level foredeck while the F-32 has a step in it (making it a 2 level foredeck). The step is some 6-8 inches high and is forward of the 2 hatches near the windshield but before the hatch in the ...
