Kirie Elite 326

[Robert B]

Hi there,I'm looking at a Kirie Elite 326 in Maryland. Can anyone give me somedetails on this boat, it's PHRF and SAD and anything else they mayknow about this boat. She seems well known overseas and somewhat inCanada, but I can't find out much about her here.Is the 326 a good boat? A point blank question. Few are around and a1990 seems to command 50K.Thanks for any info...Robert BNY

Have a 86 Elite 32 and like it

Hi Robert,I have an 86 32 and love it. Dont know the PHRF for the 326 but the Kirie/Elite/Feelings seem to outperform their ratings. The VPenta 2002 can be an interesting engine, especially if raw cooled, and the hulls (at least mid 80ies) can have small blister issues (many have already been barrier coated). They are relatively lite, but that can be a good thing depending on what you plan on using it for. They have a lot of space and are well finished. The are not imported anymore due to the Euro rate (I believe)Feel free to email me @ eamoniowa@hotmail.com if you would like to discuss - where in MD is it - I am based in DC.E.
