I was thinking of trading my Baja 232 on a 288 sunsation mid cabin.I was wondering if anyone had any info or opinions on the 288.
They ALL do! That's why I buy them used when they are 5-6 years old!bert232 said:I prefer to stay with a single engine boat and i really like the mid cabin.It just seems the sunsation takes a big hit on resale the first two or three years.

Your link points to my post. If you read it right I was saying that using the word "junk" to describe a sunsation wasn't accurate. I don't bash any boat and I don't cry when someones talks about Baja's. I happen to have a nice one that fits my needs just right. I know a few Sunsation owners on here that love theirs.Caincando1 said:I'm not trying to start a pissing match or anything like that. It just seems like people cry when Baja gets cut down. Then do the same to another brand. Sheesh.![]()

Oh and by the way one person calling a sunsation junk doesn't mean that ALL Baja owners think that way. One guy made the comment. This is like JR high crapSydwayz said:I don't post here much, but this one provoked me.
Baja owners calling Sunsation boats Junk? Are you eff-ing kidding me? I don't believe I have read a more ridiculous statement, EVER. Baja builds nice boats. Sunsation builds better ones. Period.
From what I've been told and I even asked Baja, the 97's and later models had "some isolated incidents of stringer failer in larger twin engine (big block) boats. After 2001, Baja marine uses only offshore mounts on all twin engine application's." So, I think it might have been more of a motor mount issue that did not have enough surface area on a stringer rather than the stringer itself that caused some failures. I also think a survey would detect any such issue. It's a shame, cause it scared me away from a 98ish 29, which what is what I originally wanted.danh63 said:I never heard of the 29 issue either. That's not a good thing if it is true
Caincando1 said:Yep, seriously not wanting to start a fight. I just think the guy needs more opinions from a more divers audience..
All I can say is drive the sunsation, I test drove a 288 yesterday and it was an awesome boat. Now I decided 100% thats is what im buying! just got to find the right one......
Well said.SunTime said:There is a reason why you NEVER hear actual Owners complain about their Sunsations, weather it be ride, handling, fit/finish or factory support issues .
