Ya I know that, I'm not that old! I took the last 25 from him that was built up north on my trailer from that shop the last day he was there. I was told by Pat that he sold the 25 tooling to a guy to build CC's and I know my 1st 28 was from the CC outboardmold with all the rocker and that my 2nd one was from the 32 with a dam in the mold.

Apples and oranges on the Sunsation but no offense.
The point being is it will run down either the OL or Hustler all day long with amenities in snotty water. Maybe not top end speed at 100 mph but it won't be a potato chip or spit the occupants out as history has shown. Deep cockpit, overnighter with style. What else do you need?
I just think anybody that spends anywheres over $150 k on a single engine boat with no amenities has lost their minds.
I'm building the mold and one boat. If somebody likes it and buys one, so be it. If not, my kids will have a nice affordable toy.

Yes I did, I was quoted then told that the 25 was "NOT" from a CC mold and I never said it was and knew it wasn't Just that you told me it was sold to a guy to build CC outboards.
