Owner Experience Review
Owners who chose the 32 STfromContender Boatstend to highlight its dual personality: conceived for tournament and kite-fishing, yet equally at home as a day-boat, tender or sandbar shuttle. The deck plan is sensible for mixed use, with abundant storage, long side boxes and rod stowage, plus a finished, lockable head and large electrical panel inside the console for tidy systems access. Removable L-shaped cockpit seating and quality audio make family cruising and weekend entertaining straightforward without compromising fishability.
On the water, the boat jumps on plane quickly and settles into a flat running attitude typical of a well-balanced step hull. Owners and testers consistently describe the twin-step ride as very dry, fast and efficient, with an aggressive, sporty feel; test reports have cited sprinting capability, including an example around ~59 knots with twin 350s. With a Seakeeper Ride system fitted, a documented sea trial showed notable roll and pitch reductions (approximately 37% roll and 30% pitch in one 32 ST test), though results depend on setup and conditions.
From an ownership standpoint, engine selection and fuel care matter. Many owners prefer Yamaha four-strokes, while older HPDI/high-pressure systems are reported to be thirsty at trolling speeds and more finicky about clean fuel and filters. Routine outboard service is straightforward, and survey/appraisal examples often read as generally satisfactory, but a proper pre-purchase survey is advised; some owners have referenced warranty/QC concerns historically, so partnering with a reputable dealer and closely reviewing build/finish is prudent.
Pros and Cons
- Twin-step hull delivers a very dry, fast and efficient ride offshore.
- Quick to plane and runs flat, giving confident, predictable handling.
- Versatile layout supports tournament fishing and day-boat family use with storage, seating, and a finished console head.
- Engine choice matters; older HPDI-style systems are reported thirsty at troll and sensitive to fuel quality.
- Some owners have mentioned warranty or QC concerns historically, so dealer support and careful survey are prudent.
- Ride and pitch stabilization benefits require a Seakeeper Ride installation and depend on setup.
