Just wondering if there are any other Prestige 32 owners, so we can exchange some experiences.

Hi Alex
I bought my prestige 32 in July 2004, still getting used to her. I am a bit dissapointed with the range her fuel tanks seem a bit on the small side but other than that I am well pleased with her.

Hey Tim,
We got ours in March 2004. I think the handling of it is very good.
We are using it on the waters of Holland and therefor I do not have any problems with the fuel contents. On average we do about 15 liters an hour for 2 engines KAMD300. Of course we do not cruise at top speed a lot.

Hi Alex Our boat is based on the south west coast of Ireland We usually cruise her at 3200 rpm approx 23 knots and burn approx 70 litres an hour. Total tankage is 630 litres which gives us a total of approx 9 hours between fills. I usually only travel for 6 hours before filling the tanks again being afraid of getting caught out in bad weather. We are on the edge of the atlantic ocean here and sometimes the waves can be between 1 - 1.5 metres when we would have to slow to 10 knots to avoid pounding the hull off the waves. I find the boats seakeeping very good and have never felt nervous in her. I bought the boat second hand 1 year old with 28 hours on her twin KAMD 300's. I have had some problems with the auto pilot and trim tabs and found the dealers unhelpful when the boat had n't been bought from them !!. It is a great boat and our friends enjoy socialising with us on her. I looked at Rodman & Sealine before buying her and feel I made the right choice. Timmy
