I have a 32 up near the factory for sale in that range. You can call Dave or Joe at Sunsation and they can give you directions to see it. Here is a pic. It is a 2000 dominator with 454 mags. It is in outstanding condition, call the factory and they will tell you about the condition and options. I have more pics if you are interested.

Nice graphic Mentalpause...

Re: Thinking about Sunsation
 
Thanks Reckless. Lots of airbrush work in it that is not apparent in the picture. Plus the whole boat chine to chine is clear coated.

You mean you had the hull bottom cleared? There is more than one chine! Inside chines, or the out side?

Outside chines - the bottom was not cleared. Don't think I would want to be doing that to the running surface.

Agreed! is your transom cleared too? Would make it easier to keep clean!

FightClub the 32 shown above looks pretty good I'd say...

No, it just gets a lot of wax. But I agree with you, I may have the transom cleared on the F4. Maybe I can get them to send the boat for paint before the outdrives go on, making it easier. Haven't chosen the paint yet so not sure if the transom is getting any paint.

But one thing for sure on my 32 above, the clear keeps the glass on the deck and sides looking brand new. You can't tell the difference from the day it came from the factory.

I know the boat that mentalpause has for sale and it is extra nice. It has always sat under two covers and is never put away until it is cleaned. It would make someone a great boat and just think no oneelse would have the same grafix as you. the boat looks good as you can see especially in the water. If you have not rode in a Sunsation you should it takes BIG water great, and as mentalpause and others can tell you it gets a little rough is the Ozarks.
Hey I don't even own a Sunsation, but I can tell you they are great boats. Who knows a 43' in the future. Lets just say I can't wait to see th new one.

Mentalpause 12-09-2004 09:32 PM

Re: Thinking about Sunsation
 
Thanks Rich. I'm sure you will be riding in the new one sometime next summer. Heck, since I am getting a trailer this time to go to poker runs, I may just pull it up to Clinton Lake for a weekend. That would be interesting :D

Re: Thinking about Sunsation
 
John that would be awsome I love it when new big boats show up on that little pond. :D I have been on this side (sunsation) for a little while and saw the pictures of the boat, that is cool to watch the progress. I will have to keep an eye on this site just to watch the progress. As for a name for it I would say MENTALPAUSE, maybe SUNBLOCKED, I think about it for awhile.

I agree. The only owners I would consider as happy as Sun owners is Active Thunder. And I qualify that to my own experiences. I went to Fl and went through the plant with Pat, and he took me out in a 37. Great experience and I have gone out with a few AT owners. They are loyal like Sun owners are.

You will never be disappointed with the service and personal attention you get from Wayne, Joe and Dave.

HP500's and your seeing 90! Wow. Anything different from other 32's with hp500's?

Fightclub,

I will have to agree with the others about Sunsation owners being satisfied with their boats. I have had mine for two years and am very pleased with it. I have talked to several of the staff at the factory ( Dave, Barry and Joe) many times, only to get great results. They are very eager to help.
As you can see, There aren't very many on the market. It took me over a year of looking to find mine.

Ever consider a Superboat 30' Y2K. Cant beat the price and the quality of the workmanship. Check out the thread from the guy who bought the last one built.
