Marinette Boat Forum

I purchased my 32' Express almost two years ago. It was modified from twin screw gas engines to a single screw 5.9 Cummins. The previous owner also changed the propulsion system to a surface piercing / Arneson drive. In theory it sounds like a slam dunk. PROBLEM - the four bladed prop is not correct for this application. Luckily, I have a friend who is a naval engineer and has run some preliminary calcs on all the information that I have on the boat / motor / prop. He has informed me that the type of prop she currently has is designed for a push boat (85%) in lieu of what is required (50-55%).

Long story short, does anyone out there have access to "Lines Plans" / Draft Information on a 32' Express? He has informed me that this is a key component in figuring out exactly what prop we need to go with.

Thanks in advance,

If he's recovered--anyone heard?--John Althouse should have the plans for your boat.

Good luck.

I would call Ron Jacobs at Wolverine Prop and ask him about the prop..He's the man.
