Basically the newer 32's are a combo of the older Dominator deck mated to the Innovator hull.

Yes more freeboard, enclosed head, 50 gallons more fuel and a twin step bottom starting in 2006.

I might be wrong here but I believe there were some twin step SS boats built in '05.

06 would be the start of the SS hull....
Everything they said above and...
about 4MPH faster with the SS hull (motor for motor)
about 1000 lbs heavier with the SS hull
freeboard is about 8 in. more with the SS hull

There is also a decent difference in price. It seems like the 04-05 single steps are selling around 70k and under. I haven't seen to many 06 SS's sell but they are asking 109 and up.
