The Sunsation 32 XRT 2010 vs Sunsation Sunsation 288 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sunsation 32 XRT 2010 could be the deciding factor.
