What is the biggest single engine, you can get. Thanks JOHN

Size engine or size boat?

You can get a single engine 32 (only a few have been made) but normally the 288 is the single engine boat.

Engine wise, the biggest that you can get is a 525 but with the right amount of prodding you can probably talk Joe and Wayne into a 600 SCI. They did build a 288 with an Ilmor V10 for a client in Greece: http://sunsationboats.com/justleft031.asp

Ok thanks much, I was talkin to my friends friend and he rattled off that somebody he knew had a 32 with a single and was running in the 80's with it, just wanted to find out b4 i called bs on him, what about running in the 80's with the single...??

80's doesnt sound that far off with 700 hp+. Here is a ASD single 32 that claims 103! http://www.offshoreonly.com/esvon/page-13555.html

I have a single engine Dominator that I will be rigging this winter with a 540 and M4 Procharger. It should be around 825HP on mild boost. I bought it with a 500HP.

A good friend of mine, Emil has a 2003 single engine Dominator with a 500efi / whipple that consistantly runs 84 MPH.

Dave F from this board lives in MD and boats on the upper Chesapeake Bay. He has a 32 single with a 598 M5 procharged engine that approx. 1200HP on Dean Nickerson's dyno. I am not sure if he has dialed it in yet or been able to get a top speed number yet.

All of these boats will around the Potomac/Chesapeake Bay area; he probably knows Dave or Emil.

Damn we all might have to hook up this summer, maybe a boat trip to fairly creek, sounds like some nice riggs you all have, I have a 32 fountain and waiting to find a set of engines for it, I am down the bay from ya by fort howard/millers Island... JOHN

John,

I am always in for a trip to Jellyfish Joel's. Just need to add warm weather.

Speeds of 100+ on a single 32 are possible with the right combo. It's true what Ty said, (thank you Ty). I have had some issues getting dialed in but, I will be ready this summer. And I will finally get to see that new 32 you have Ty. Fitting all that hardware in was a night mare. I had to make my own compressor brackets, intercooler bracket, piping you name it.

Obviously my former M4 is serving you well? Cant wait to see it again.

Old school maybe, But I'd rather have 2 smaller engines instead of a single monster...

There's no doubt there are some advantages to twins, once you get in the 30ft range and above.

However, if it's total dollars you're looking at, a monster single is still cheaper in the long run. Everything from maint, fuel and related equipment. Oh, and don't forget faster too!
