I don't own any black socks, apparently they aren't required in Texas.

What a great boat! RD did a small interview with Tony at the LA show about your boat. Just talking a little about the overall design, the 565s, the performance etc... This is a perfect Havasu boat! Ha![emoji106]

We like the boat quite a bit, but might try the wackers next time. It would be nice to be able to leave the boat on the dock year round and be able to use it on nice winter days.

Here is my sled and yes I have black socks. They just don't come up to my knees :D


That's just a really fucking nice boat man. Every time you post pics of it I get major boat envy. It's a beautiful boat. Just all works so well together

Hey Patyacht, are those boxes on the front of your trailer water proof? I was thinking it might be nice to have some trailer storage but wasn't sure how I could do it.

No they aren't. They have drain holes but I've put in large plastic tubs to keep stuff dry. Only an issue on shallow ramps.

The setting looks great with all the green trees! We don't see much of that in SoCal & Havi! Ha! Btw, is your F32 the 1335s boat that Teague drove to 177 in Havi, a few years back?

Some really beautiful hardware in here. Not wanting to go far off topic here, but I have noticed that there are missing posts in my view from time to time. For example, I don't see PR388's post about the M29 w/ 565's, but I do see it quoted by the owner, but yet I can see this original post by PR388 so its not like he has blocked me viewing his posts, it happens a lot with PR, but other posters as well, super weird. Any advice appreciated

My favorite F32 of all time. Big TCM power, super clean ride with a gel scheme that pops in the water and on the trailer.
I also like Johns colors Love my boat but Johns is a little more suttle(if that can be said about a boat with 2500+ HP)and I really like the black motors.

First time seeing this boat. Tell us a little about her and do you have any more pics to share?

One of the first M29's with Merc 565's. Looked at it the year is was built at the LA show. That was the day my wife decided she wanted a F29 over the M. She likes the canopies better then full windshield. My F29 dream went bye bye when my oldest got accepted into CU Boulder (his education is my used F29).

I don't seem smart enough to add pics from my phone. It is my first cat, I traded a Howard bullet that had a Teague 800. Really like the 565's, we don't have many service options where we boat do it's nice to be able to do your own services. It's a really nice reliable package, and plenty fast for me.

The user or users go back and delete them for whatever reason.. The reasons vary from user to user but almost universally share a tin foil hat in the description as to why if asked. :D.

Wow some amazing hardware in this thread.

Sam that picture of your boat in the driveway is crazy, is there something you did to the picture? It looks crazy!


A lot of clients boats in this thread. :thumbsup

JRider, I have always really liked this boat from day 1. The F34 has great lines.

Have you had a chance to use the boat at all and/or start any of the work on it you planned? If so how goes it?

Unfortunately I picked it up the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and there was already snow on the ground here. As much as I wanted to drive it before I bought it, it had 2+ year old gas in it, needed new impellers as a precaution, and it was around freezing. When I got it home, I drained the blocks down and kept a heater in the engine bay with cover on. As soon as I got the chance I winterized it (sounds damn good BTW), it took 9 gallons of antifreeze per engine!

At least I did get to hear it run at Shogren and they motors had great oil pressure and excellent leak-down.

I am hoping that it really does not need any work, I am going start with different props if I dont like what the boat is doing. With the prop selection available now as compared to in 04 I think there could be improvement. I have a couple sets of 5 blades I am looking at I just dont know what rake it will like. Have any input on rake?

All #6 DCB's that I know of, mine included, prefer an 5 blade, 16.5 diameter with 18 rake prop.

I have a like new pair of 16.5d x 18r x 38 pitch, 1,200 HP rating, Mercury Pro Finish props for sale. They were just x ray inspected and have approx. 25 hours on them. New are $11,000. I am asking $8,000 obo. They do not have a scratch on them and are perfect in every way. These should be perfect for your boat if they are the pitch you are looking for. Reason I am selling, I am going to 41 or 42 pitch.

Thanks for the info. My drives are 1.24 so unfortunately I would be looking for something in the 32 range.

Interesting, 1.24, wonder why they choose that, does not make sense. Changing to 1.35 would really wake the boat up.

Either way I think you will want to be looking at an 18 rake, maybe even 20 rake if it does porpoise badly to help carry the boat. What rake is on it now?
