Re: Fastest 382 out there
Not the fastest, but this is mine with 645 H.P. Used to run 114 m.p.h. with 950 H.P. per previous owner.

Re: Fastest 382 out there
Somewhere there is one that had 1,000+ hp and claimed 112 (or something in that range). My 382 had 8 PSI Prochargers on 500EFI's but they have just been sold and rebuilding blower-less power. Procharger claimed that set-up was worth 830HP (not sure I believe that though). New mills will be finished this winter and won't keep up with the old set-up!!! 
With Prochargers: (props and hull needed a little work for more)

Re: Fastest 382 out there
There are 2 in Ca,one with Arnesons and one with B-Max drives (CAFormula I think on the board) that are strong runners,but don't know the #'s. An 07 with 700's and optional cleaver props is Formula rated at 93,and they are pretty conservative with their published figures,so maybe 95?

Re: Fastest 382 out there
I have an old article in a magazine around here somewhere about the one in Cali with Arnesons. It was over 100 mph.

Re: Fastest 382 out there
The 382 APBA pace boat would do about 75mph with HP500 efi's. Doesn't the new 700 Merc get it to 85mph? This was just reviewed in one of the boat mags.
These boats for a step bottom take an imense amount of power to really go fast.

Re: Fastest 382 out there
The 600/Stellings boxes boat we recently delivered GPS'd at 87. It had genset and air. I would guess a 700 boat with no genset/air should be able to see close to 95. I will know for sure in Feb

Re: Fastest 382 out there
Majicfloat yes it was the 600's...what mag was the test in? I forgot. I would think 700's would push a Formula to over 100. seeing that Fountains, Cigs, Donzi's, Outlimits ect are well over 110 with those engines.

a couple weeks ago in a reply to my post, you know the one where you said the 382 was a "pig"...you seemed to think it was powerboat.
