36 or 35 OL

They gave you more engine compartment room with the 35 over the 36 which did reduce the cockpit space but you can still do the four bolster setup in the 35.

Sunsation builds a very nice boat. They seem to have their act together and have some good ideas. I know three folks with them that really like the product but again it is a matter of personal choice.
To me they are SMALL and use the same technique that Fountain does to go fast. Nothing wrong with that but you have to ask yourself if speed or ride and room are what you need in a boat.
The one thing that I do not care for on Sunsation is the huge clutter of gauges spread out everywhere across the front of the boat. It makes my eyes cross trying to figure it out.

Thanks Dock! Brand new as of this past season...I went out to lake of the isle on the st. Lawrence and gunned her...had to crouch down as best I could but she maxed out at 77..Flat water and about 29C outside. Great ride..wouldn't want to fall off at that speed

Hum you ain't from around here are you?
I agree that I would NOT want to fall off at those speeds either! We rented a couple down at the coast this summer and it had been about ten years since I had been on one and it was really weird getting the hang of it. The ones we rented topped out at 45 MPH and they felt like you were flying. I cannot imagine doing 77!

you wouldn't want to go much more than 77..trust me...That's faster than my old 26ft Chap with 496HO

I think it was more the "perfect day" ...smooth water... great weather..low fuel and I hadn't eaten since breakfast...haha
