Hi all , I wanted to introduce myself as a new 1984 F32 owner (took possession last September) and say thank you for the multiple tips and assistance that I have gotten from this site ! I have been lurking around up till now and its reassuring to know that I am not alone in my passion project !
I have been around boats since I was a kid and from the first time I saw my Uncle's brand new F32 back in the 70's I was hooked (his had twin 440's). The last boat was a 265 Thundercraft Temptation with twin 4.3 stern drives so this is a big change from a go fast boat to smooth cruiser (and the Trojan is way nicer to maneuver at the dock).
My crew and I have been working non stop to get her back up to where she should be after sitting out uncovered for a few years in a parking lot and its been a slightly larger project then first anticipated but we are getting closer to the finish line. Ordered a few parts from Beacon Marine today to fix up the flybridge dash so looking forward to those and much appreciated to Bob@Beacon for taking the time to explain the fuel system on this boat to me and give me some pointers on the ignition system (among other questions!)
Thanks again!
Ken
