I appreciate some feedback. Thanks
Sunsation 288. You can't beat the detail and quality along with the customer service, which is second to NONE!! My personal opinion is that everything else is cookie cutter, espeicially interiors, except for Sunsations!

Ironic, some people say that Sunsation is "cookie-cutter". Although Active Thunder is the best custom built boat out there for the money, hands down, not a question, without a doubt; I really do agree that the 288 Sunsation is an awesome machine. The walk-thru is a great all around boat for sure, and we almost bought 1 before I found the 28AT.

You gotta love these threads.

Spillman, 07Dominator - I would hope you think your boats are the best Why buy anything less.

If you want to pay twice as much as you should then get yourself a new 28 apache, or an old one if you don't mind having to fix it up

I was also a die hard formula fan until I took a look at the Sunsations and I couldnt be happier with my decision. Check them out on there web site. They have alot of pre-owned ones availble with smokin deals.

Sunsations have great fit and finish and I have never heard a bad word about them. The ride will be comparable to 280 PQ, but won't hold a candle to Pantera, AT, Powerplay, Apache in rough water.

I think we are all wasting our time with advice since the original thread starter hasn't even back to listen.
