Mine runs a solid 88 on gps with 500hp's and has labbed 30's. Its also for sale. I want a new 38 if they get it built in the next 5 years. My second child is on the way and my wife keeps talking cruiser!!! Yikes. Hope that 38 is really big!! Cant handle a cruiser yet.

SR-24...To help answer your question on top end performance, weather, temperature, humidity, plays a huge part because humidity and m.p.i's do not get along.However on ideal day of 80 degrees 40 percent humidity, twin 496 h.o"s will run 79-82 mph. twin merc 500 e.f.i"s your looking at 85-88 mph. As long theres no prop dings, prop ears are even and lower unit skegs are perfect,and the x dimension leaves the factory with the proper height. Fuel also adds weight. All this effects everything. I hope this helps where you want be. Money you know can go another mile.

Let's face it, you're gonna be hard pressed to find a better performing 32 with twin 496's and still maintain it's crappy water performance...

The March 2003 issue of HotBoat magazine has once again given high praise for the Dominator. The boat tested was a 2003 with T496mags (375 ea) and they clocked it at 77 on the radar. They also had overall impressive comments on it's solid construction, outstanding acceleration, and rough water genetics....

keep im mind that the boat test was in salt water.Mine was always considersd a 82 - 83 MPH boat with 496HO's but in good old Mn. at 600 Ft. above sea level she ran a solid 79. Also to note is Merc. specs are plus or minus 10% from the factory. That is a fact on production motors. So do you have a say 390 HP. HO or do you have a 440 HP HO. You would never know for sure unless Dyno'd.Still the most awesome 32 for the power period.!

boatguy exactly! I've posted before about the 10% +/- factor on the motors. Also, there's the few pounds difference in each boat as the layups are never exact either.
Seen a fascinating post some time ago from I forget who, who gave a pretty good explanation of the differences of salt versus fresh water performance. Essentially there could be none. Where you're at, I'd say it's definitely the altitude that trims a click or two off the speedo...That being said, 79 at 600 ft is still great!...

I believe the issue is really water density which varies from every body of water . Probably minor but I did have a engineer motor head boat freak friend of mine explain it to me once but I believe I was more interested in the cocktail in my hand at that particular time. My new 32 Innovator is going to have its motors sent to Tyler Crockett for messaging before install.600 per side is the goal.This time around I will know for sure what Hp and torque is being produced and at what RPM.It will probably be one of the first with that kinda power.Should be interesting!! Can't wait.Winter is starting to wear on me.
