and East probably Pantera for V's but thats out of familiarity, WHAT DO U MEAN BY THIS QUOTE, THANKS JAIME

Right now in the performance boat market, the Sunsation 288SSR with a Raylar HO525 package is the best "bang for the Buck" at just around $100K and the 80+mph speeds for that kind of size, quality and looks, hard to beat! You won't go wrong with one of these Sunsations!

Thanks everyone for all the info. I have gotten lots of Pm's with lots of help as well. There are a few really nice deals whch have been brought to my attention due to this thread and I hope I can make a deal happen sooner than later. It is al up to my bank account and naturally my wife. I learned a long time ago the secret to my happiness is my wifes happiness.

Ray where can I get pricing on 496 kits and also swap outs?

Sunsation does build a beautiful boat, Ray maybe right. I am one of those odd Checkmate owners who loves his boat. If value is a priority Checkmate is competitive. Good luck with your purchase.

Did you ck with Pat on the 28? And as said on an earlier post my old 06 525 XR ITS boat is up fpr sale again.

Research the Nordic 28, nice boat without a doubt.

You could round up a Donzi 26ZX. It is much roomier than the 27ZR. I have way less than 100K in mine and it will pass that new 100K Sunsation like it is going backwards.

They made them up to 06. Mine is older but if you want a newer model you can still get there pretty cheap.

I think that the Panteras are cool as well.

If you are cool with going a little slower, some of those Cigs like Clay was mentioning are a smoking deal. They crush waves and they have that great Cigarette porn factor.

Old school hard core boat, big cockpit, big cabin, runs great in the big water!!!

That is one bad @zz Pantera, I can tell you that!!!

I also like the Blues and Silvers !!!

Thanks for the post Cauzmik, but after this past weekend, the inventory is a little light I do have some 2009's on order and ready to be customized to your liking!!
