hi rick I dont doubt you about your friends imp but you say his is an 89 or 90.
mine is a 96 and I have the original sales brochure(original owner left all sales stuff in the boat) and is at 7400 lbs dry weight. It has 127 gal gas and 12 gal fresh water. compare the weight to similar hulls and horsepower and you see it is right in there where it should. there is also other oso members that I boat with that will back me up with the speed I get. there are too many people with alot more knowledge than I will ever dream to have about boating on this site why would I try to B.S. about speed. Can do that at the local bar but not here on oso

I know someone who had a 32 with 454/330's. Good lake boat, not very good on the ocean.
It's a decent entry level boat. My Scarab Panther ran better in rough water.
