32 sunsation
 

What is this boat capable of handling as far as speed and power?

Which hull , twin step or vortech hull. Me personally I have been in the twin step in the upper 90's but i don't think i would want much more than that. That is my 2 cents but 2 each there own. There was a 2000 posted on power boat swap shop and he said it ran 107 which i think is nuts, but hey each to there own.

The new hulls

search this forum...its been discussed some. about 600 would be where I'd stop as far as Hp if I was to bump mine up. New 32 out there has 565's in it. pretty sure he's knocking on triple digits.

Yep :evilb:

Anybody running single engine 32? I here they built some of those.

They built a handful of 32 Sunsation single engine Dominators in the early 2000s. It's been discussed on here before. I have two friends that have them in Virginia. One is here on OSO: "Aggressor 25" is his name.

I couldn't imagine this much boat with a single but everyone that has them absolutely loves them!

Activator, Superboat, and Adrenaline, and a few others have made similar sized singles. They are all long and narrow, and do not have a ton of freeboard. The Sunsation probably has the most freeboard of the bunch. Both of my friends say they are a ***** to dock in a breeze and/or current, but they do run well. They are both running big power; 500EFI/Whipple (750-ish HP & 540 ProCharged (900-ish HP). IIRC, they were legit for F1 Racing back in the day.

Laveycraft 29 and the B&H Water Rod 30 - both with 8-6 beams are almost the same size as the 32 Sunny (a lot of swim platform) and both of them will run 74 / 75 mph with a single 525 hp - Bravo XR drive. I know first hand, been in & driven both. GPS reading not dream on (Aerosmith) speedo meter.

The 32 is only 3 ft longer than a 288 and they are identical from the fairing to the transom. A 6.2 boat runs nice with 640 HP (a few more ponies in your case! :D) so if you had a 600+ HP single then the boat should run pretty similar.

I just mean around the docks. I know in a good breeze mine can be a handful. The twins are super helpful there. I am sure I'd have found myself in trouble with a single.

But WOT, I'm sure they run great!

Just wandering because I have a procharged 572 making a good 950 that I have in a 26 ft checkmate that I would love to use in something else. I know the only way to get my money out of it is to run it.

I'm sure that would do nicely!

They have only made single engine 32's in the non-stepped hull. No twin step 32 singles to my knowledge.

If this is the guy who runs out of occoquan, his boat is ridiculously fast, he ran me down in the high 70's and hung to 80ish. If this is the same guy, what does he have for power? I've never talked to him, but have seen the boat out running a lot this summer, sounds nasty too.

Ok. I need to check on that because I would want a new one

This one is the Pro-Charged 540.
(Owned by OSO member Aggressor 25; he has had several single Sunnys and posts on here occasionally.)
It's often on the Potomac and Occoquan, as well as SML.

This one is the Whippled 500EFI.
Emil owns a body shop in Manassas, and pretty much boats exclusively on the Occoquan & Potomac.

A new 32 Sunsation would probably not be ideal with a single because it is considerably larger/taller/deeper. There have been several 32' Sunsation models over the years: Dominator, Innovator, SSR/XRT.

All of the single Sunsation 32s are Dominators from back in the day, originally derived around F1 racing as previously mentioned.

Having a bow thruster would be a huge benefit.

The second one is it. That boat sounds beautiful and moves out pretty good too.

I think the Purple one does 88 or so, and the Red/Yellow one is over 90.

I believe it, we were running side by side around 80 coming into Belmont bay, he stayed straight towards occoquan and I went right into belmont bay, that boat is no joke.

We sat with Sunny at the Miami Boatshow and asked Joe about the newer 32 but with a single. He said they run good but just not that fast. He would build one if you wanted it. I kind of already took that they had built one at some point in the mix from 2007 and up and tested it. I guess I should have went into more details about it with him. Anyways FWIW

I like 32s :)

But 36's are better.......wait, are we still talking about boats?:evilb:
