it is a little tight in the 32 but most side by sides are anyway...water pump is kinda a pain. Normal maintenance i a breeze as long as the numb skull who installs oil filters did not use a 10' cheater bar to tighten em up like they did on mine

Hey everyone,
I've been looking at MCOB boats for a while and keep coming back to Sunsation as my first pick. Got a great new job, and I am ready to buy but I'm not finding anything I'd like. I see a couple great looking 32s but I'm not sure I want to pay the extra marina fees quite yet. But I might do it for the right deal.
Ideally I'd like to get a 28' with a 496 HO or better. If it's in Texas or somewhat close, even better. I'd like to keep it in the low 50s for price.
Anyone have some pointers?
Thanks!

Are you sure that's still available? I'm not seeing it on the recent posts.

I went with 288 and have no regrets, here on most lakes inland the 288 works great unless you go to LOTO on weekends the 32 would be better. I too would like to move up to a 32 in few years but then you do have twice the expense with twins, fuel, insurance, maintence, etc. Sunsation builds very nice boat either way. The 288 525 MCOB Sunsation mentioned in TX is very, very nice condition, I looked at it last fall.

I've driven both and if the coin allows, go with a 32. You'll love all that nose sticking out in front of you when the water gets rough. You'll also like that second motor when your IAC valve or impeller shoots craps while you're out on the water.

Make it a point to try riding and driving both before you decide. Nimble and fun boats once you dial in your trim right. Call Joe at the factory he might know of some near you. He also might know of some available.
