Rich-

I used to fish very regularly on a 1988 32 BF flybridge. During that same period I would also fish on a 1970 b31, which I wound up buying last year. The 32 BF is a good boat. Better in a head sea but not as good in a following sea. Much drier, unless you have Smart Rails, then no difference. With 375 hp cats Jerry's BF ran 26 to 27 knots at cruise rpms. Two things to watch out for, the 32fb's were prone to cracking down the center of the super structure. I know of 3 that this has happened too. Also, the cockpit doesn't drain very well and will hold water on the sides.
