In my years of boating I have done it all, bubbling with no cover and with cover, inside storage, constructed conduit frame with canvas tarp and shrink wrap. And have never experienced a mold issue. As some of you have already stated the key is ventilation. For the past ten years or more I have had ...

Thanks MattSC this is the info I’m looking for. My F-32 will have no problem with space for either engine, plenty of room. I just installed new Shafts, cutlass bearings and drip less shaft log’s 2 years ago, so I would consider my drive line in good working order. But with trying to keep the bud...

I did look at the 6.0, what a great engine design but with the extra cost and all that torque (I would have to redo shafts/struts). Still want to do more research on marine power. Think a trip to the Miami boat show in February might help. Have plenty of service back up on all the manufactures here ...

I definitely know what you mean about diesel. If I ever get a different boat that would be one of the options I would like.

But if you really like the boat can you say Diesel ?? Sure I can say Diesel, can you say not practical. With the cost of the diesel engines, changing the fuel tanks, changing the shaft size, changing the struts….and not to mention the short season in the great lakes it just doesn’t make scenes ...

Trust me I have gone back and forth with just that issue for a long time (the engine went out at the end of the 2008 season). But as I said in my first post this has been my boat from day one some 25 years ago and after looking at different boats during this down time I honestly don’t see me letti...

I did a repower from a chrysler LM318 to a 5.7MPI Crusader and have to say that it was the best decision I ever made and would do it again in a heartbeat. I plan on keeping the boat, so for me it justified the cost. With a longblock, unless you replace every part with new you're only as good as the...

I’m thinking new so I don’t have to revisit the port engine a few years down the road. Plus with the new I hope to get better performance all the way around I have 1:52:1 transmissions now but it looks like by the time you add rebuilding the transmissions and the cost to reverse the engine (if i...

Hi all I’m new to the site, I have a 1984 F-32 (and proud to say the original owner). I need to do a repower or a rebuild to the starboard engine. I’m leaning toward installing two new engines, 5.7MPI’s and new transmissions also. I can’t seem to find much info out there on this. It looks li...
