Thanks. Not our first F-32. Diesel not an option on my waters. Not available for sale unless you carry it in cans. When it comes to repower it will be new 5.0's.fireranger33 wrote:Congrats! You're about to find out our little "secret" LOL. These are some of the best made, heaviest, stable, widest, economical, maneuverable and easy to work on boats out there.
I noticed the engine hours on Nancy's Ad. I'm sure the rest of the group will join in to suggest you upgrade to diesels when the time comes....start saving now!
Enjoy that beauty!!!

I wish I was up north where most of you live. Down here on the St. Johns River the water is so salty, the engines and manifolds take a huge beating from the barnacles and algea growth.
The average down here where folks start worrying about engine overhaul is around 1000hrs. I help folks buy and sell boats down here all the time. Once they hit around 1000hrs or so its almost impossible to sell a boat. You have to pretty much give it away.
Florida is one of the worse states hit by the economy so big boat sales have come almost to a complete stop. So? for the few people out there with some cash? There are some GREAT deals to be made.
If you look at the boats that are for sale in Florida? The ones that have been kept on fresh water lakes and such are in awesome condition for the most part compared to the rest of the boats around the state.
Or maybe boat owners are rougher on their boats down here? Who knows???? LOL
