There are two more 725-powered 382's currently in production. The first boat did run faster than 92, but all testing was done with a heavy load. Don't know why the silence, other than Formula doesn't tend to brag about top speeds. Maybe MadeItRain will chime in, but the altitude where he boats will definitely affect the numbers.

I do know that it delivered 1.2 mpg at 57 mph and 1 mpg at 80 mph. Nice.

That really is amazing. On a nice day I could run that 382 from here to Freeport/Lucaya in 45 minutes and use 80 gallons each way.
