You'd be much better off with a pair of Ilmor 725's. That combo, I would imagine, would run in the 1 teens. Not to mention, probably much more affordable.

Good idea, but the problem would be not enough weight. You would wind up with a serious amount of stern lift.

I love the idea too, but until they get dialed in and figure out the COG issues, they can't just be dropped in! That dam R&D thing keeps biting us.:eek:

Oh it can be done, just have to add some weight. It would have to be a new build to be cost efficient. They are roughly 350lbs a piece lighter, so I would think some sort of steel plating mounted to the motor mounts would be a good start. They put a 625 in a 288 and they're in the new F-4, so I'm sure they added weight somewhere!

Seems like that would defeat the purpose to just add dead weight somewhere. I don't think they added weight with the F4. Some of it was offset with the lighter cabin area. The rest of it took some lengthy R&D to get it dialed in.

That about doin work!!!!! Nice pic!!!!:coolcowboy:

I agree. Would be better to damn the mold and move the steps foward to correspond with the moved CG.

Dont they put small blocks in 32's? I know for sure ive seen a 32 SS MCOB with small blocks for sale recently. I remember an article in one of the magazines with a review of a small block 32 Dominator and raved about it. But then again I guess its possible the balance isn't as much of an issue with only 320hp per side and something like a 26 pitch prop?

I bought that boat and it is the best boat! I love it soooooo much great ride and plenty of speed. I really like the small blocks still has the get up and go and a very nice sound also. The fuel economy is also a plus. I would not hesitate to buy a small block boat.

sunsation96,
I looked at that OSO classified many times thinking that was a spectacular boat and power option. Glad you like it. Hope you continue to enjoy it.

As for the 1075's...ive only boated in one 32 Sunsation but it was a 90+ MPH boat with 600+ a side that I spent a considerable amount of time on. So maybe I have not been in the fastest dominator, but I have been in what I would consider a fast one. My opinion is that 600(ish) a side is plenty of pucker factor on anything but the calmest days on the water. 1075 would generally not be usable. But maybe thats not the question at hand?
