Awesome looking ride.

I assume with 72 +/- with a MAG?

I think Live Wire has an HO. The mag is 50 HP less, and I believe it runs in the mid 60s, maybe mid/upper 60s on a good day in a 288.

I believe it is a MAG HO.

Why would it be safe to assume a comparison of one boat with an HO and the other boat with a mag?

Becasue you would get the same performance out of a Baja 26 OL with an HO as you would a 288 with a MAG (could be worng here). An HO in a 26 OL runs upper 60's and I thought a 288 runs the same with a MAG. Looks like I am a little off on this thought according to some recent posts.

Here is a shot of a 288 we have in stock. This one has the MAG HO.
What type of info are you looking for? Performance numbers? Optional equiptment?

PM me with your email address Five and I will send you a bunch of pictures of them.

Tom

Thanks - PM sent.

OH, ok. I understand. Your estimate is probably right, it would be very close.

Bill at Harbour Marine has a 288 with a 375hp 496 in it. He may jump in on this thread and be able to tell you the performance numbers of it as well.

Five cent worth,

I run a 2004 288 on Lake Norman (I believe the only 288) with a 496HO, my buddy runs a 2003 25 OL with a 496 HO, top speed is between 66-68 and we are both dead even. However when we run in Wilmington in saltwater and chop I walk away from him. In regards to someone's question about overall length the difference is less than 6 inches from prop to nose as I have had them both in my garage side by side. Come over to the sunsation website and send me a pm, and I will get you a ride in my 288 on Norman once the lake level comes up!

Thanks for the offer and the info! I am going to the CLT boat show tomorrow to check out the 26OL. Hopefully I can hook up with you for a ride!

Let it rain - let it rain!!!
