Two seasons ago I had what is now the Dominator. It was a Alumacraft Magnum 175cs. Owned that boat for five years and had it on the Great lakes and other big waters without a problem. We had a Mercury 115 fourstroke and it ran wonderfully. Pending our load, I could get 44mph pending conditions. Majority of the time it was 39-42mph without a problem. Had I put a better prop on it, I'm sure I could have done better yet. However we just never spent the money on a new one. The Magnum was rated for a 130 hp, but I know they resigned the boat on the dominator series and might even be a bit deeper. But I think a 115 fourstroke would be just fine if you ask me. Fuel economy was also very good. But if you were to put a Mercury 115 Optimax on that boat, I'm sure it would do even better yet. I sure wouldn't be afraid to put a 115 on that boat.

If you have any other questions, feel free to call me at the number below or ask away, I will try and answer any question.
