Talk into something other than a Sunsation 288
 

My wife and I have decided to wit a year before jumping into a boat. This will extend our price range from a 24-25 boat... into a larger single engine boat. Really like the looks and features of the Sunsation 288 MCOB. I like the concept of the MCOB and so does my wife (very important). I also think MCOBs are good in terms of resale that it's desireable by a larger boating demographic.

We're really stuck on a 288 MCOB. Is there anything else that I might not be looking at but should be?

The criteria I have are:

1) single engine
2) trailer with F-150 confortably
3) $50K-ish (is a 288 in that price range?)
4) handles rough well (I'm a wuss)
5) looks good
6) all the speed I can get out of a 496HO (no sup chrg)

Take a look at www.ultraboats.com

Take a look at Kachina also.

288 is a great boat and you can get one in the $50K range but it will most likely be a closed deck as the mid-opens did not come out until 2003 and they are still in the 60's/70's range (but anything is possible in today's market).

Other mid-opens to consider would be Donzi 28, Nordic 28 Heat (25 Rage as well), Checkmate 270, Envision 29 (slowest of the boats listed but great rough water ride).

Don't forget Formula 260 & 280 BR's...

Take a look at our Active Thunder...a bit more than 50k bot fits all the other criteria and then some....be part of the CULT FOLLOWING :cool-smiley-011:
