New member looking to transport '74 F32

Post by Insanity Claws »

Can someone please tell me what a F32 made in 1974 weighs?
Also, I'm told that the height maximum for towing it is 10' above the water line. Does achieving this necessitate removing the control panel off the upper level? I'm a total newbie, so forgive me for not using the correct terminology . Thank you!

I believe a F32 weighs in the range of 14-16k lbs.

As far as height is concerned, my buddy's boat is more than 6' from the deck to the flybridge. The deck is about foot above the water line. The flybridge is about three feet. You will be real close to 10' perhaps 11'.

Trojan lists the F32 12000 dry so it will be a bit more , Most likely the bridge will have to come off . If you do a search you will find more info on this

My F32 was about 14000 pounds. It was a 1978 with 318s. I think if it is going over the raod you will have to remove the flybridge which means that all the wiring will have to be disconnected as well as the steering and control cables. If you do this be absolutely meticulous about labeling everything with permanent markings.
