looking for a 288 or 32 dom
 

ok if someone has any input that would be great!!! I just sold my boat and looking to buy either a 288 or 32 what are your thoughts ?? I would like a 2000 or 2001 price range or should I skip the 288 and go 32 right away and avoid shopping again in a year from now ,everyone says to go 496 ho s ! as long as it will do 70 s and handle some chop I am ok with that .Someone out there have one for sale let me know ! I would like to buy before November hits !

Skip 288 and go right to a 32. What is your budget?

04 or 05 32 windshield dom for sale in s.e. michigan. low hours cmi headers. clean boat im told. previous owner of it bought my a/t last fall and is a very meticulous guy when it comes to his stuff.

my budget is high 50 s if that's possible for that year and size and yes I seem to be getting the same info from everyone to skip 288 and go 32 ,I am hopping to get a stock boat with no superchargers etc...I kinda like turn key and go (gas of course loL ), now I hear people say twin 6.2 are ok as well and efficient to run.

where do I find this listing of the 04 or 05 ??

I have twin 6.2s in my 32 and I really like them. The fastest I've seen is 72. Plenty fast for me and the gas bill is much better than the HOs. They sound awesome too.

think hes in the 65obo range for the one I spoke of. think its listed in the classifieds. its a windshield boat.

throw him and offer and see what he ses. dont forget to mention me so i can get my commision check :whistle:

not sure i am sold on the look with windshield,it does look in great cond mind you! i am glad to hear that the 6.2 are a good combo as well and i will you tube to see what they sound like it seems to be hard to beat the sound of a big block ,but at the end of the day how much gas goes in it is what matters$$$

would anyone consider a baja 29 outlaw as 2 nd choice or fountain 29 or 32 ?

I don't think you would be disappointed. Most people hearing them think they are. Pretty deep and loud.

All depends on what you want in a boat. 292 and 312 Formula is a good option in your budget also. Check them all out. Pick one and have it surveyed.

buy a 33 powerplay. check the classifieds.

I have a 32' 2005 dominator for sale with twin 496 HO MAG's. $75k

Definitely go for the 32 if u want a sunny, a 29 outlaw is going to have as much room as the 32 sunny, and is going to be a little different ride since its a straight V. The 32 fountain is fast with stock power, and whoever owns them seem to love them. Go get in all of them and check out the ergos, will make your decision much easier.

I bet blindfolded, with a good driver, most cannot tell if a boat has a pad bottom or not. I've got a bunch of hours in both hull types on LOTO. Fly the boat level and the pad makes little to no difference in ride quality if all other things are equally. I've had the crap beat out of me in a straight vee on LOTO with the driver landing tail first all the time. Just my experience. Others may differ.

I am the owner of the 2004 32 Dominator. I am def. not here to knock anybody on there opinion but if I was going into a go-fast boat one of the reasons is becasue of power. Why go 6.2 when there are 8.1 out there? Bigger power can mean better resale. The fuel consumption is awesome for a go fast boat..... roughly 2.5-2.8 mpg with the cmi headers on there and of course being fuel injected. Not only do the headers make it much louder but help with fuel consumption. As far as the winshield.... it had to grow on me as well but it sits a little bit higher than a fiberglass fairing and we can figure out the benefits of that with wind or rain to duck from when needed. I love sunsation products, met alot of sunsation boat owner including the owners which are great people. I love the boat but I am going to be a daddy in the spring so I would like to go to a cruiser for a few years and let someone purchase and use this boat and not let it sit there and collect dust. Another good thing is the indoor storage is already paid through the winter so if someone purchases it they can get in the spring if they so desire. Anyways I think I said enough in one post lol

:poopoo: Did you just say cruiser??!!

If you really want a 32 Sun and can swing the $ take a hard look at the one listed here. It does have a windshield but it is much nicer than a fairing boat and rare. It has the HO's and CMI's. Good resale!

I did say cruiser. I've been a boater my whole life so as long as me and my new family are on the water it doesn't matter what I am on. When the baby is old enough to sit down and hold on is when I'll go back to go fasts. Trust me though.... I do love the go fast sport the best and WILL be back if I leave it. Thanks for letting people know that I am OCD when it comes to keeping this boat as clean as possible. I just went out lastnight on the river running 80mph in the moonlight. What a blessing!

thanks for all the input ! i am really leaning on a 32 dom with 496 s! would anyone know if the int space in a 2001 would be the same as a 2007 ,there is a 32 /07 local here that i could go and see to give me an idea on the headroom down below without driving 6 hrs to see one ! is a sun better in the rough then baja or fountain?

07 will be deeper.

Go with the 32. It will have better steering because of the twins. It's of course heavier so it can handle rougher waters better. More options as far as where you want to boat. You wont have to worry about making an upgrading to a bigger boat so soon.

I have to agree with the folks who say go with the ho's in the 32. Nothing against the 6.2 but who the hell is counting there fuel bills when there talking twin engine performance boats?? I've owned two ho boats and they have bin turn key for me and they also sound the part. Why have buyers remorse in a year, do it right now.
