Sunsation Adding Center Consoles
 

This just in, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...-consoles.html.

The rendering of the new 34 looks like it's drawn with a Seven Marine 557 on it!

Going to be a Cool looking boat.

Congrats. These boats should do well.

Who's next Skater ????

I was thinking similar. Cig, Nor-Tech, Statement, Fountain, Concept, Outerlimits, Deep Impact, Spectre/Sonic, Epic.

All of these are pleasure CC's (not hardcore fish rigs). Is the market already saturated, or is there room for more CC's from Performance boat builders?

I like the lines a lot on that rendering.

Don't forget Powerplay:lolhit:

Cig, Nor Tech, Statement, Outerlimits, Deep Impact and maybe Impact are well over 300k+ so maybe there is some more room for another builder.

LOL.

Me too, me too...

I don't think Sunsation pricing will be much less than the rest, they build a quality product like the rest so they will have to charge roughly the same price to be profitable.

i was tyold about this about 3 months back. I was told to keep it tight lipped as was not 100% sure. I can't wait for the boat should be cool

Dont forgot that apache also built a few.

The market is being driven from a few directions including current performance-boat owners who want something that still performs but offers more versatility than a purpose-built go-fast boat, performance-boat owners who like to fish and dive (but wouldn't consider themselves hardcore in either activity), buyers who just want something that can handle a crowd, maturing go-fast owners with families who've found their needs have changed, and more.

Is the market saturated? No one knows and it's too early to reach any kind of informed conclusion.

Here's the thing: A loyal Sunsation buyer will look at a Sunsation center console before anything else in that category. Same goes for Nor-Tech and Cigarette. Odds are good that the people who run own and run these companies know the value of brand loyalty and repeat buyers, and are banking on it.

The other driving factor? The economy. It wasn't all that long ago that a performance-boat owner's second ride likely was a center console. Now, for a lot of folks, it has become one or the other.

Matt very good points. My new Nor-Tech CC has been to Two Poker Runs already and the amount of interest it has got is unbelievable. It is not the first boat to each stop but not the last either.

I tell everyone the boat runs north of 70 and the motors carry a 5 year full warranty, you can't beat that. As for the Nor-Tech well it speaks for itself those guys put a lot time and money to make it right which didn't happen overnite.

The guys at Sunsation are continuously improving their boats and are still building/selling a decent amount considering the economy. I've known about this for a while and I believe its going to be a great addition to their line. I can't wait to see it done.

Whether you like the looks of the Sunsations or not, you have to respect the way they run their company, they have their **** together

I don't see it as "me too, me too". You either adapt to the marketplace or you go away. Wayne never wanted to build a mid-open but it ended up outselling the closed bow boats and kept the company afloat. You build what sells and right now CC's are selling.

But I want to see it w the 557's like in the rendering

For a little more detail, check out the specs, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...r-console.html.

ME2!!!!!

Will they have it built for Miami?

I doubt it can be done for Miami. Good luck to them. This should be a good expansion of their offerings and boost sales like the XRT and 36 have.

Lauderdale Show
 

We are very excited about this new model, and you will be able to see and hear more at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, we will be in the water with a 36 on the Performance DOCK! Look forward to seeing you there :)

I think its a good sign that companies like Cig, Nortech, Sunsation, etc., are investing in the intro of new products that are obviously selling. They are all adapting to what they believe the market wants and some of them are pretty successful at it. To me, it shows confidence by the builders that they can make money in the worst economy in generations; and they're pulling it off.

Good luck to them and I hope the sell a ton of product.

x 3 :evilb:

What's new with this?

They have the mold and I think have made a hull already. You can see the preview of the new 34' @ www.sunsationboats.com on the home page. Looks really sharp
