though i own an i/o boat, i think the 26 sutphen w/ o.b.'s is the way to go...great hull, low maintenance, good speed (70's)and economy...although i did consider the sonic 26 for cockpit depth, the sut w/ o.b.'s thinks it's a bigger boat...especially w 380 k planes....one in MD was listed at under $17k...that's a deal.

Thanks for the info everyone. I have been in Florida since Wednesday, and away from a Computer, so I just read through all this, and am soakin everything up.
My dileama right now, is that I am about to inherit some money, but the paperwork won't be finalized for a couple months. (have to sell house, assest, etc) so I am kinda "loking" right now. My boat, and houseboat are sold, and that money is just sitting, so unless I find something that is too good to pass up, it will most likelly be after the new year, before I pul lthe trigger. I am continueing to look every week though. my favorite is the nordic heat. its the one boat I just keep coming back too. I really like the lines. I have been looking at the one in Washington, but the hours kinda scare me. and the fact that its in Washington. Found a similar one in the midwest for not much more, with much less hours. I appreicate the offer on the seeing the Sunny in person. I may just take you up on that. How is the cabin on the 288's? My wife's only requests were a nice cabin. We will probably overnight, or weekend on it, quite a bit I really appreciate all the info. -shane |
Apache, Saber, Pantera. In that order.

He's also a lake boater, those are rough water boats you've recommended. |
I have a PQ 280 and my buddy has a 28 heat, the Nordic has a great ride but in my opinion the PQ was a better built and more comfortable boat. Cabins are about the same size on both, I would'nt consider any of these boat "overnighters", I guess ir depends oin your age but the older I get the more comfortable I need to be when I sleep.

if the cabin is a real big thing look at a 26 sonic prowler they have one of the biggest cabins in that size class

You should also take a look at the 26' Sonic.
And, we happen to have one coming in soon. :D -1 owner -525EFI -Around your price range -Immaculate -Fresh water use only |
I've got two friends that owned the 26 Sonic and LOVEd it, if you can get that with a 525efi, brother that boat will rock!
