Opinions on 2000 Sunsation 288...
Hi All,
looking for opinions on a 2000 sunsation 288, 454 mag mpi w/ approx 400h. Is this engine adequate power for his boat? also, would $35000 (canadian) be too much to pay (or fair)? how does it handle rough water as I will be running it in the atlantic ocean (east coast)?
Thanks in advance!

What would you guys recommend? I would like a single engine boat in the 25-28 foot range as they typically weight less and will be easier for trailering. I have looked at a donzi 26zx with 500 EFI as well.....

288 is a nice boat. It has a pad so it will be a little rougher than a non pad but it will be faster because of it. Also keep in mind the 288 is the same boat as the bigger 32 from the dash to the transom. You will have to pick your offshore days but it isn't a bad choice to start with.

Yes good motor to start with but it is still almost 16 years old so at some point it is going to cost you

Not sure what year 288 JRider had....sounds like he has some good experience running a 288 on the East Coast. I ran my 99' 288 on the South End of Lake Michigan for 3 years and it did pretty well in decently rough / snotty water for it's size....then again it is just a Lake right? There are some other options to consider like the 25' or 28' AT, 28' Pantera etc. etc....
