I own one and best GPS recorded so far is 73.4 GPS with 3 aboard and light fuel in an 04 32 MCOB 6.2's.

Great power for that boat, you won't be disappointed.

I have a '07 Dom SS with 6.2 Horizons. With 1 adult and a few kids did 72 on a full tank and 2 ft chop. Waiting to run on GPS and slack tide - but believe 75 may be possible. Gets on plane quick and carves great.

6.2's are 377 ci and put out 320 HP but remember the BB 454 motors in 2000 were only putting out 330 per side with a weight disadvantage. A 32 Dom is 6600 lbs dry and has a padded bottom two things that help the top end in the right water.

I understand the mid range punch is great from that set up.

75 won't happen. 70 - 72 is about average for this setup. 454 MAG's or 496 MAG's will get you 75 +.

still impressive! a 29 outlaw twin 454 runs +- 65... so 70+ in a 32 with small blocks is great!

Plus they are comparatively cheap to run for both fuel and insurance.
