I felt he was misled somewhat by the posts so I pm'd him telling him that I wouldn't recommend a 288 for those prices bc honestly they are lighter boats and ride on top of the water bouncing around more and they have limited space. He called Joe @ Sunsation and so Joe put up a thread claiming I said they made a junk boat and that I bashed their "build integrity" (i didn't) bla bla bla...
So they start in on the personal attacks which what do I care? I'll just sling em back... well when I do it they start in with the "class act" bla bla bla you know the drill. Funny thing is that even some of their own members pm me saying how over the top others are... obviously nothing can be said tho bc they'll get run off too Lmao
Thank god for general discussion... all this class act stuff is making me sick
"killer offshore performance"? No. "crushes waves"? No. "amazing ride even in the toughest seas"? No. For it's size and weight, it is a good lake and river boat. When things get nasty, you have to be up on the wheel and throttle. You are not going beat the water back with the boat. But with adequate seat time you can get around in some mid-sized water OK. "roomy"? No. The 288 and 32 Dominator and S/SS/SSR/XRT all have the same cockpit (with the exception of the 32 S/SS/SSR/XRT having more freeboard) and it is tight. That was always our biggest gripe to Wayne and Joe. Make the cockpits bigger. Which they have finally done on the F-4 and now 36. Yes, some of the folks on Sunny's site get a bit overzealous with facts and their defense of the product. It is their "home" though so you have to expect some of that behavior. Joe's rub was that you PM'd someone on their site to push another manufacture's product. No harm in giving an educated opinion but pushing another product should not have been done through their site. Did they ban you? I see they deleted the threads including the silly "AJ must go" or whatever it was titled thread. In any event, one would hope most educated people will seek out opinions on a product through sources other than just the manufacture's forum. One would also hope they would throw out the overly positive and overly negative reviews and focus on the middle ground.

I have no dog in this fight but.....I got to read most of the thread before it was locked down and I was shocked to find how sensitive some of the Sunny people were with this whole fiascal.
Aj sent a message through the PM system, read PRIVATE MESSAGE, ....and then the **** hits the fan because of it????
Come on now, what a load of crap!!
No negative comments were put out for everyone to see and to have the owners feathers ruffled, but a simple PM to the fella in question to look at different models of boats as well.......now really what is wrong with that??
No one was luring a little boy away from a potential sale with a bag of candy!
For a bunch of grown up men to attack like that is pretty ridiculous......
I personally looked at a 288 Sunny before I bought my 280 Silencer and can say without a doubt there are differences between the two boats.......so if I point them out that makes me a bad guy???? .......and even for doing it privately instead of on the open forums??
Say whatever you want, defend however you want, the whole thing of the Sunsation owner crying foul like a little kid stinks hard of B.S.!!!
Sensitive bunch!!
This whole thing was blown out of proportion and I dont give a damn what they say about it!!

That is true but I guess the ONLY difference here is that it was discussed on OSO and not on the SUNSATION owned forum!?

yep.I asked one question on that thread and deleted pretty fast,
