zen 32

curious as to why no feed back on this motor... anyone care to talk bout them?

When they were first introduced, there were problems and they were not well received or supported ( lack of mounts, different size/format - transfer configuration, ect. ). Some improvements were made, but they didn't respond to mods as folks expected. They can produce good torque and can be made into 35s. The Ausies ( down under ) have made some progress on them, but North America hasn't really warmed up to them.

Thanks Dennis, its not that i haven't seen them run as we have a large scale offshore class in our dist and a few of the guys run in the big cats and monos. they run very well... in those hulls. Also i know Al at BH Hanson has the support for them all the parts mounts etc.....just haven't seen them much in my favorite hulls... riggers

... And that's the thing. A rigger is a light, fast, nimble craft; really quick to respond. The 32 is larger, heavier, a little slower to scream if you will. Wouldn't be my choice for a rigger either. Now an SRI modified 30.5 Pioneer; THAT'S a whole different animal LOL.
