What was first year they came out . How many bottom updates on this model with years.

Good question. I have a 2001 and they were not available then. They may have come out in 04 or 05. That was about one year before they changed the hull to a step, I think. I guessing, maybe others will know for sure. You can always ask Sunsation directly. If you google Hill Top Marine in KY they me be able to help too.

2003. I was at the factory in Oct. of 2002 when they were completing the first one.

There ya have it. Knot, when did they do the step?

288's got the full step in 05.


Just for reference, the 32 MCOB came out in 04:

Memory like a steel trap - I think that was the year we took the detour leaving detroit, which lasted forever.

I remember wishing the Tahoe was equipped with bulletproof glass! I drove that very first 288 mid-open at the on-water boat show at LOTO the following spring. I believe I gave you and Nick a ride on it. Remember the "special" pricing Big Thunder had on it?

Yeah - list price plus tax!
