Too Cool or Too Goofy?

2006 Sunsation Innovator powerboat for sale in Michigan

I spent some time in the first one delivered. Did the Sunsation Rally in it. Had 500 EFI's and was a beast. The interior layout is fine while running. On anchor or at the dock it can be a bit cumbersome in terms of cabin access. The soft touch button pads can be an issue if they can no longer be sourced and not sure if all the dash mechanisms can still be had if something breaks. This was developed when Dave Moriarty (sp?) was at Sunny and he is long since gone. He was the brains behind the dash. .

I think it'd be a cool boat...........

Rare boat but I wouldn't want one.

Think they only made about 8-10 of them. There was a 525 boat out there and the first one was not a step bottom but was like a test mule. I think one was lost in an accident.

The first one was a step bottom and was never released to Frank who was working with Wayne/Joe and bringing it to market. It was a large, single step hull with a rounded keel. Wayne ran it in one of the rallies (wouldn't let Frank drive it as it was too unpredictable in handling) and it never saw production. The first production boat released to Frank was the twin step that all released to the public were (and the S/SS/SSR's to follow).

If parts for the dash can still be sourced (call the factory) I wouldn't hesitate to buy one.

Nice looking boat!! That cockpit would be too tight and unusable for my taste, wouldn't be bad when running but hard moving around and accessing the cabin. Look at a typical 32 cockpit like my 32 Velocity (in OSO can classified) to see how much room there is .

Dave Moriarty is back working at Sunsation. Hes been back since January 2017. If you have any questions on this model, call the factory and ask for him. Im sure he would be willing to answer any questions you have. It was a cool model and its a shame it didnt take off.

I like it, although I never use my cabin so that's not a big deal to me.

Always wondered about the 32 for balance with big blocks especially 496 s. The 32 is not even 32 ft long. The swim platform is long inwhich shortens the bottom running length even more. IMO rough water with heavy big blocks for a very small 32 might not be as good with engines alot less weight ? Just wondering if anyone ever did a 32 with LS engines and really lighten up the back ?
