I would of thought the engine with the misfire issue would of been the inline pencil fuel filters in the inlet at the rigging tube connection .... Glad to see it get figured out. Curious to see if the new props help to lift the bow a bit more, it seemed the 32 was starting to walk around a bit "chime walk" due to it running so flat in calm conditions. 👍👍

I do like how high the boat ride on the water. Are these boats to run flat or can you ride them on the heel? Also 4 blade lift the rear! Are 3 blade not an option? Love your work and being an old Powerboat racer, these videos are Gold ✅🏁😁 Thanks
@sunsationpowerboats
@sunsationpowerboats 4 месяца назад
They shouldn’t be running as flat as you see in the video. The 32CCX still needs some dialing in. PBC did some testing last week that we didn’t get to include in this video, but our waters are frozen so we can’t test right now. Appreciate your compliments on the video. We’ll keep them coming!

They're running a $50k outboard in a $5 plastic tote? Really? Retired 38 year marine tech here.If I was the owner and saw this I would pull my boat out of there immediately.As for all the big manufacturers power,resale, warranty claims,etc. I would always recommend YAMAHA.If you really need 1500 plus horsepower than you should go with big block I.O's ironically Mercury 1350 and 1550's are phenomenal.Even though the current trend is 3-6 outboards from a cost, maintenance,and fuel cost perspective they don't and never will make any sense.

Never ever owned a Merc!!! Never will!!! Retired marine tech here. I know to much about them, I know how they built them over the years, I know how they would not stand behind them at times, how much more expensive to repair for labor and parts, personally had to many we installed and within minutes blew up. Could keep going by writing a book, but I’m just warning any one that’s thinking about buying. And even as this video shows when blocking the nose cone with Allen screws it could create cavitation and hurting the prop. To me the worst thing they did, we noticed was when Evinrude went under, within one year there parts prices skyrocketed. You want speed and high costs, buy Merc, you want to enjoy your boat, with a lot lower costs and maybe lose a couple MPH, buy Suzuki!
