Sunsation Delivers first 36 SSR to Captains Choice
 
4 Attachment(s)
I am pleased to say driver Ed delivered the first new 36 to us today. We spent a lot of time going over the boat and one more time Wayne and Joe have gone far over the top of any boat builder that I have ever delt with. The real test is in the water so after work we took it for a test spin. I can tell you the boat is very impressive, it jumps on top and hits over 80 like no big deal. The mid range kick is out of this world. The boat in some small way reminds me of the old 32 v bottom it just has a solid ride and not as sensitive on the trim and tabs, a real plus in my book. I never have claimed to be a race boat driver expert but as the owner of a boat dealership I have been able to run just about every boat made at some point and I am pleased to say WE HAVE A WINNER! GOOD JOB GUYS!

They have one listed on B.F. No $$$$$ figures, but I'm thinkin 350,000 + at least.

Any performance numbers yet?

bunbuster 04-23-2010 07:46 PM

That 36 SSR is awesome. I was in it with 5 guys, 1/2 a tank of fuel and it ran 93 mph. The SSR package with 525's is (I think) under $300,000.

should be 225-240k range...

ChrisSunsation 04-24-2010 08:16 AM

Bunbuster is right on for the 36' SSR package has an introductory price right around $300,000

We ran the 36' in a decent chop with 3 guys and around 1/2 tank of fuel and saw 94 MPH on the GPS. It is a strong package that handles like it's on rails. Tres Martin and Wayne hit it right on!

This boat is at Captains Choice and is the only on available at this time. The 2nd 36 (XRT Package) is at Mitcher-T's getting painted right now, the third one is in our assembly shop and the fourth one is going to get started on Monday Morning:drink:

Every boat out of Sunsation is worthy of a boat show. Looks incredible!

So what's the one that Shogren is advertising with pictures taken at their place? Same Boat??

GatorDave 04-24-2010 10:54 AM

Love all the red! Nice job:coolcowboy:

Catmando 04-24-2010 11:14 AM

Impressive top speed with a bunch of peeps and 525s. I'm also VERY impressed with the full engine stagger on that 36' boat, but I have to wonder how much room there is in the cockpit.

Since this is the first one and the only one we have photos of the dealers will be posting info on it, they have units on order and Mitcher-T is working on several different renderings.

The cockpit is actually perfect you have 9 more inches than a 32' when sitting in the back seat and running at speed you can still reach the handles on the back of the McLeod bolsters.

Yes it is the same boat. Since there is only one completed at this time all of our dealers will be using the same photos to promote the 36 Dominator until we get a few more out there.

We hear that a lot around here.

It's a good feeling to know that we have an excellent group of dealers and customers.

How does the boat compare to a 34 hustler Cheetah with
525's side by side that boat will run mid 90's. And is a monster in the rough. That 36 is nice looking.

Tres Martin personally designed the bottom of the new 36 Sunsation.....safe to say they got it right!

Tres Martin’s knowledge of hydrodynamics, step location, strake placement and size, balance of the boat, angle of attach, X-Dimension and many other overall properties that need to be considered when designing a fresh slat new lower hull, far exceeds anyone we know in the marine industry. In a conversation I had with Tres “It all starts with a manufacture having a safe, predictable, fast, good handling, efficient lower hull”. Tres Martin designed a lower hull that “Exceeded our Expectations” with the main emphasis on safety and handling, speed is a by product of that which pulled good numbers as well.

It’s not always how fast you go that matters but how well you go fast!!!

From the entire Crew at Sunsation!! Thanks Tres!!

SHARKEY-IMAGES 05-01-2010 07:47 AM

Best of luck Joe !

I am sure we will see many more of these on the water in the coming years !!!:drink:
