Congrats! Incredible deal IMO

No reason in the world why you shouldn't easily see another 600 hrs out of that engine. The 288 itself is ageless and stout!

I'm super excited. Had it out this weekend...it ran flawlessly.

Where do you normally boat at? River or Clinton? Congrats.

Congratulations, you got a great deal on a great boat.

I ran with this boat over the weekend. Its a great looking boat, and he got a great deal.

W.I. - congrats again on the new ride.

Usually the river, but might start heading to Clinton a little more.

I can thank bdubs for turning me on to Sunsations via his awesome 288. I wasn't going to be in the market for a different boat until next year, but when you find a deal this good on a boat of this caliber, you gotta move on it.

Have the 288 hulls changed much since 2002? I saw a 2005 and 2011 that look like they have more freeboard.

No additional freeboard but the 2005 and newer 288's have a true, full step in them. The older hulls just had a ventilated chine that gave the appearance of a step.

I'll look for you if you ever make it over to Clinton. I slip my boat there on Dock 3 so we are there every weekend unless I pull to run the river.

Been out of town for the last couple of days just now catching up on this post. Congrats! I knew it wouldn't last long but I couldn't move on it that fast. If you get tired of it let me know.
