I'm looking for some help. I'm looking for a offshore boat that is a good riding (notice i didnt say great riding) about 24-28ft upper 60s. I dont have kids but looking for something that me and the wife can spend the night in. I was looking at a 1998 sunsation with a 454. What are your thoughts pros and cons?

A nice choice.

If you had said great riding, then I'd say find a Powerplay....


Really though, are you looking for more alternatives, or just advice on this boat. If you want more alternatives, a few more factors would help, like price range, etc.

27' Fountain single 454-502 high 60 mph easy small V berth also!

The Sunsation is a good choice. I don't think that you will be dissatisfied. It's a lot of bang for the $$$. Where will you be boating?

looking for more options price between 15 and 25 thousand

Saginaw Bay and a couple smaller inland lakes that git really choppy

I know of a 25' Checkmate Convincer in Va. Mid 20's. Brand new 496 installed last July (08). Owner just move up to a 35'.

Im selling my 219 persauder looking for a different manufactor even though i loved my checkmate

Can't go wrong with a Sunsation.
