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.

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.

Yeah but boating in December is PRICELESS! :p

I see 67-69mph on GPS @ LOTO. Downstream on the Missouri is 70-71mph.

Awesome setup for the size boat, and yes economical.

Which boat (dealer) did you buy? My boat has a 23P Mirage but I have never experimented with new props.

lulu 06-22-2007 08:16 PM

i bought the boat in ilinois the boat is purple white with a heritage trailer i was loking at the mid cabin in florida also but i think it will be hard to resell in montreal... the prop on myne is 24p 4 blade. i will make my first try tomorow!!!hope to see 7... on my speedo!!!

You may want to break in those motors before doing a high speed pass! The boat will hit 7? no problem. The silver/white MCOB in FL is my boat and with 23P 3 blades it will hit low 70's.

Good luck with your new ride.
