just one more Sunsation data point - I've personally driven a 2004 288 w/ a 500HP to 74mph on GPS with 5 people in the boat.

Aggressor 25/Ty here on OSO has his for sale. Its a 2001 25 Sunsation with an HP500. I've been in the boat several times. I can liken the handling of the boat to that of a go-kart on flat water. We were also caught in 3-5 footers for a long stretch on the Chesapeake Bay a couple seasons ago. We were running with a 41 Velocity; and while it was not like riding in a Cadillac, the Sunsation handled the water just fine. The 7' beam allows the boat to cut/slice through the water much better than you expect.

If you want a floating living room the sunsation the is not the best choice. I had a 93 Aggressor with a 454 Mag, sorry I sold it. Always felt secure in it. You do your job driving it and it will not fail you. Tuff boat with sports car handeling. If Sunsation still built them I would buy one tomorrow. Just my $.02 .

Not sure how the speed of the Agressor compares to a 24 Superboat, the hulls are similar. My boat runs in the UPPER 70's with 425 HP.

If you are upgrading for speed, the Agressor is 5-10 mph faster than the OL with equal power.

As others have said the Agressor is a smaller boat. But it will also be faster and better in the rough. And it sounds like the boat you are looking at has all the goodies already. If you don't need the cockpit/cuddy space you will like the boat.

The sunny doesn't have a step bottom so it won't see the speeds the Superboat will. But. it should run 75-78 consistanly witha an HP500. Maybe 80 in the right conditions.

if you are considering other makes i have 27 Warlock that might fit your requirements, as far as the sunsation it is quite smaller than the OL ,but would be faster, not sure about 80 with an HP500.

thank you guy's i have a deposit on the 2001 agressor hp500. i will go up there next week to bring it back if clean as it is suppose to. hope i will be happy.

find yourself a 25 Active Thunder has all you are looking for........
