Thanks "haulinvols", well said, I have the '05 25 Outlaw w/496HO and really love the boat but wanted to look at a Sunsation which was also a "05 288. I think what I was feeling was probably the step hull.

The 288 is kind of in between the 25 OL and 29 OL. I think the true length of a 288 is closer to 27'. the 29 OL has twin engines where a 288 is only a single.

The 29 Outlaw would actually be a better comparison to the 32 Sunsation.

The two boats really use different driving styles. With the 25 you kind of just hammer through the rough stuff as you would with any conventional deep-V hull. The 288 does better getting more on top of it using tab and drive angles to maintain your angle of attack. At least that has been my experience with the two boats. I am still learning my 288 as I have only had it for a few short months. I bet I have only put about 8-9 hours on it since I bought it.
