Just to add to my frustration... in looking for a 32-3 there are two nice E32-3's on the market in the east, both wing keels. A photo shows a really large factory installed wing, unlike the brochure. (I can provide a photo) With the 32's phrf (as compared to my lost e34) I dont think I want to risk an unknown performance hit.
Also I should add this... I looked at a e35-3 that had the mars bulb. even with a 3gm30 it barely could attain 6.5 max speed (gps) and it definitely should have gone faster. It also took higher than expected rpms to get to 6. . The prop was fitted perfectly and max rpm attained. My opinion is that the bulb had that effect. Also that it can cause unpredictable results when motoring or sailing in light or heavy air, on or off the wind. The Ericson designer knew what he was doing
