I researched Nordic but biggest I found was 27'. What year is yours? Our neighbor has a 27' which is a nice boat but we are looking for something larger. Thx

Didn't DONZI make a 35' ZR open bow/half cabin model?

Nordic heat/rage should come in with a 28ft. having lived in the nw and Idaho not being far away I personally would check out the Sunsations. I ran a buddies equally powered Nordic and walked him. so, knowing I have the speed it also was clearly visible I had the better ride. no knocks against the Nordic as they are stellar rigs bit again I digress AMD go back to why I bought a Sunsation.

I know nothing about sunsation but will start researching. Thx

Nordic 35 Flame has a snap on cover for the bow and a power cabin door. No worries about the elements.

I saw a Ilmor powered 35 in Idaho - might be worth checking out if its close to you. It would give you a good idea of how good the build quality is on the Nordics.

I spent 3yrs searching out the right bowrider/mid cabin. Hands down, Sunsation was the way to go, for me.

Crownline sells their LPX/SS versions which go upwards of 25ft now. I actually started in a 225 LPX with a 502. If you're going to be bobbing through 4-5ftrs don't waste your time with a traditional commercial builder.

Islanders are nice. Nordic, Velocity, and the other west coast boats are great but it's nice to be able to shut the cabin doors to get out of the elements. And that's why I found myself locked and loaded with Sunsation.

Great handling. Outstanding rigging. Awesome build. Not to mention A+ factory service to even used Sunny owners.

Just my .02

I didn't forget the 288 but he said he wanted 29' + and something that can handle the water when it gets rough.
