Well I just joined the family. I had always wanted a 288. In my search for 28' boats I owned a 28 Nordic Heat and a ZT 280 Checkmate, never closed the deal on a 288 Intimidator. Well instead of a 288 I bought a 1999 32' Dominator. So far the factory service has been excellent. Can't wait for the weather to break so I can the new boat. I am sure some will ask what motors I have, the boat has 7.4's. Not my first choice of engines but that can be changed if I find it necessary. The boat is at Mitcher T's shop right now gettting a few minor touch ups so these are the only pics I have right now.

A few questions for all the sunsation experts.
1. How many if any cup holders in the cabin?
2. What props should I start with with 7.4 mpis?
I have a set of 25 mirages and I have access to a buddies 24 hydromotive 4 blades.

Thanks. I am definately not new to boating, but new to Sunsation. This is my 4th performance boat in six years and I have been boating since I was an infant. BTW I love the colors of your boat, very classy. That thing is going to be nasty with the raylar kit. Any predictions on top end speeds with 525 hp?

Congratulations on your purchase. Sunsation has always been one of my favorites. The 32 Dominator is a beautiful boat that runs as good as it looks or so I am told.

Thanks Bro. I will give you an unbiased report this summer. I have seen plenty of them run and ran next to a few, from what I can see they run really well.

Magic,
Great looking boat! Congrats!
I have a Heat now and browsing around. What is it you like about the Sunny vs the Heat? Any Heat issues?
Tom at Mahopac says mid 80's with HO's.

As far as Sunsation, like I said before I have always liked them and wanted one when I bought my Nordic. The lines are great and they are fast on stock power. They hold the value well. Whats not to love.

Yes I agree the Nordic lines are the sharpest. We have considered a Flame but are a little concerned about being too big. We trailer daily on weekends but live only 3 blocks from ramp. Have thought about another Heat or new 29 with 525 but girls want PP. Going to Nordic to test drive Flame in week or two but stiil think I should check out a 32 SSMCOB. Seems it could be a nice compromise in length and still has PP.
We are boating on the Ohio so all of these boats are way overkill.
Thanks for your input. Every bit helps!
