Where Are All The Older Sunsations?

Sunsation has been around since the early 80s. Where are all the older Sunsations, you never seem to see them for sale. I watch EBAY and the classifieds here often. Seems like they are usually 2000 on up models.

Post your pics if you got em!

Crushed? I even see some older Bayliners for sale, or at least rotting behind garages. But maybe Sunsation will buy what's left of Baja ?

I agree you don't see lot of the older ones but you do find the 90's I don't think much was going on in the 80's. I just sold my 1996 if you do see them for sale they don't last long. Are you looking to upgrade out of the Faja?

I would definately consider a Sunsation. Ive always kind of watched for the older ones looking for a good deal and have realized I havent seen many for sale. Are people just keeping them forever? How many boats were they building in the 80s in 90s per year? Correct me if Im wrong, but in the early 2000s I believe they were building around 80 boats a year.

Company started in 1982 producing 16 footers. The 24 Rocket, then the 25 Aggressor came along. Not sure on the 288 but I am 99% sure the 32 came out in 1993. Waterboy222 just sold his yellow 93 32 for 16K on ebay but it needed some work.

The early 2000's number of 80 boats a year sounds reasonable. But if the production was 1/2 that in 1995 (5 years earlier than 2000) and they evenly split the production over 3 different boats (25, 28 and 32) then you have less than 13 32 boats per year to consider for sale. Call Joe at the factory and he can tell you exactly how many boats of each type they built over that span of years. He has a file on every boat ever made with options/colors it had when it left Algonac.

I wanted to run my boat a 25 Aggressor but my buddy talked me into the cig.The 25,28,and 32 are sweet! I don't know much about the 43.
