what other boats compete with the <= 220 sundeck

[surfinjoe]

I think you made the right choice. The Sunesta is very ugly compared to our boat in my un-biased opinion

I hate the devils horns bow....yuck!

A little late to respond to the OP's quest, but when we were shopping around, the Chaparral Sunesta seemed to be about the only other hybrid deckboat/bowrider with deep V hull.

There was a lightly used Sunesta at the SR dealer when we made the plunge - the kids actually liked the bright yellow blingy Sunesta with the horned bow, better than the Sundeck. But he who writes the checks (me) wins and we got the Sundeck.

An update to: Re: what other boats compete with the <= 220 sundeck

Just as an update, I ended up buying a 2002 SR Sundeck 240. I was pleased to realize that it seats 12 and in later years is a 260, I assume because of the integrated swim deck.

At any rate, thank you so much to everyone on this forum for the valuable responses to my initial question, and all of the info I have gleaned from lurking about the sundeck. I look forward to many years with the boat, and continuing to draw on this community for more advice. Thanks!!

When you buy a sea ray you never go back to the off brands.
