Im pretty sure I just bought this boat. She in Illinois now

I just bought a 1996 Dominator. This is the boat that was owned by Ran-Dom 32 years ago.

Looks good on the lift Doc! The paint on your boat is amazing!

God that’s funny! I haven’t been on here in years and just popped in for some reason. That is my old boat. She has quite a story behind her. I sold her back in ‘13 after spending about $30K fixing everything that we didn’t know was wrong with her when we bought her from a guy in Central Illinois.

you can be sure it’s her if the transom is gel coated black. I think that was the only boat, at least that year, that they did that on.

if you get bored go over to the “Beware” section and do a search on a “Beware Rob Grabowski”….there’s a whole thread on my saga with her. Wasn’t pretty. But I will say this….at least when I sold her…she was solid as a rock.

old tread ! funny it is still bringing great info after all these years!!!

These boats do seem to get around. I’m 52 now and the gift of arthritis would keep me from ever owning something that big again. My best friend and I owned it together from ‘07 to ‘13. By the time we’d poured all the money in to make the boat right….all the fun had just been sucked out and we sold.

But now that our daughter is out of college….I think I may have the wife talked into something more workable like a well treated older 25’ Aggressor.

New guy…feel free to PM with anything i can answer from my time with her. If it’s the same
boat…it always blew my mind that someone actually PICKED that pattern for down in the cabin. Just wow! Hahaha

She’s been gone a loooong time. But I always enjoyed driving her on either Lake Erie or the Detroit River. That boat was built during the Delta Pad years so it did make the driving different than the old straight V hulls and the follow on stepped hulls. Loved her in a 1-3 foot following sea. I DO remember one day having to chop the throttles a bit for a hard left to avoid a floating telephone pole (any SE Michigan boaters should know that drill early in the season. Lol). Lot of fun times….i might have the wife talked into an old ‘25 Aggressor in a few years when we retire. Always hope….damn things are an addiction!! Lol

I saw you said it has a black transom also. This one indeed does. I have a receipt somewhere stating that the transom was redone. Will have to chat on the phone one day. Currently need to see why trim tabs don’t work and new shift cables. I hope you didn’t pay to have the stereo put in. They did a poop job that I have to entirely redo. Also last season there was a bad electric problem with the port side and alternator wasn’t charging.

indeed is what are the odds

nice boat
