You have an exceptional 288. I think the best I could afford is a performance series possibly with a Raylar 525. I checked our your vids. the boat looks and sounds great!

My ZX on the other hand, it runs well into the 90's.

This is my thought to you and do your homework very well before you impulse buy.
1) What boat has the better resale value in your area? Most desired.
2) Some boats that sell well on the east coast do not sell well on the west coast.
There are some boats that are really great boats like on the east coast. Superboat, Progressive, Kryptonite, that will only sell in NY.
How many Donzi's, Sunsations are in California.
The big thing is we all look to up-grade somewhere down the road and if a boat is not big seller in California you will be married to her. Just a thought to consider when choosing the right boat for yourself.

i have had my 2008 288 SSR MCOB w/ 525 efi clocked on GPS at around 82 mph. This boat is one of the fastest boats under 30' with a single 525efi. The boat eats up the rough. Personally if you like the 525 raylar pay a little bit more and get the regualr merc 525, it seems to be faster. look at the videos on youtube under eagledm44 and you will see sunsation is the way to go.

Its a nice looking boat. 82 is pretty good. The ZR does those types of numbers with a blue motor. Yes, I would get the blue motor. Actually I would probably opt for big power. Isn't this the Donzi section?

I like the addition they added in the rear seat but I didn't notice anything really different on the 09' 27ZR on the website. What are they changing?
