I just dont understand why a newer stepped hull with 625 hp would not be faster than an old heavy 357 with 650 hp ? the SSM 3 are that much more efficient?
Ed champion confirmed on FB this 382 runs 82 mph :

by the way, a 357 really is a 35'7'' plus swim platform = 37'7''
a 382 has a molded platform so 382 overall length
so lenght does not make a big difference IMO...

Interesting question and comparison.
I would think the stepped hull with all things equal should be faster but surely SSM 3 could not make up this difference? wow . That then begs the question if all things really are equal in the claims.

My 2002 382 with 628hp would pull 87 with the right props. I rarely ran WOT and instead propped the boat for mid-range. Although stepped, I believe the steps are so conservative that they don't really help that much.
FYI: 628hp and 699tq fully dressed on a dyno.
