Cutwater 32

[Maggie Anne]

I've been thinking of the Cutwater 32 for a trip to Alaska next year. Are there any owners who can post real world performance data for this boat, i.e. RPM vs Speed vs MPG or GPH. Also would appreciate any other thoughts on handling at speed and in the marina (such as effectiveness of bow thruster vs using engines in opposition (one in reverse and one in forward) to spin the boat). Thanks, bob

Did you look through the recent poll regarding various models’ performance data?

Hi Dubs, Thanks for the link to that thread . I looked through those posts and found data for the C302 which I think is almost the same boat. From what I've been told is that for the 32 they added 2 feet at the stern under the swim step to give extra flotation and also to accommodate the dinghy lift. I presume the extra flotation might give a bit better performance?
