Default Verdict on 288 Sought.

High all,

Having left the "Formula" camp, i am looking for a 29' single engined performance boat.

My wish list at present includes:

Fountain 29 Fever with HP500
Velocity 28 with HP500
Sunsation 28 Intimidator with HP500


I havent as yet seen or tried the Sunsation 28 yet but it looks to be in the running at present.

Perhaps you could all enlighten me to the pro's and con's of owning a Sunsation 28? Build Quality, electrics, After sales service etc.

Thanks in advance.

Best factory support in the business. Excellent build quality. Please note the 288 hull became a full-step, notched transom hull in 2005. So, on identical power there is a 2 -3 MPH difference between that hull and the older Vortex hulls. Good luck with your decision and with whatever boat you decide to purchase!

Nice boat. Similar in size, layout and profile to the other two boats you are looking at. Quality is very good. Factory and customer support is second to none.

Good luck. All 3 boats you are looking at are nice.

There is no boat on the market in that size range that has the true feel of a performance boat like a Sunsation. The mid-range torque will pin you and your passengers in their site unlike any other....
