This boat has been for sale for quite a long time, If I recall, it was on Yachtworld in the 60,000 range, ....dreaming.

There are a number of F-32's for sale in the west now, but IMO , they are overpriced for the market, thus, they have all been on the market a long time

Not Cummins . they are pre Cummins . when the failed joint venture was in place they painted the white and put they Cummins sticer on them . the only real cummins engines sold under this deal where the 5.9 and above diesels . Thank goodness Cummins saw the light.

Is it just me or is the top speed (16 Knots) lower than it should be for a diesel conversion?

12-16 knots is slow for twin 180hp diesels... it's a terrible operating speed for the F-32 as it's right on the hump.

My F32 with twin 200's cruises at a solid 20 knots and tops out at 24 knots loaded so something doesn't seem quite right about those numbers.

While $60k seems unrealistically optomistic, so does $10k seem unrealistically low for a twin diesel F32... even with merccruisers.

I would agree, I topped out at 22 knots with the 165's running light and at 1800 I could cruise at 12 knots all day long. they may have stepped down the props out of fear of breaking a shaft or simply have the wrong props, I believe the VM motori / mercruiser diesels are high RPM engines
