When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Sunsation 36 XRT 2012 and the Sunsation CC 34 2012 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
The Sunsation 36 XRT 2012 carries a rated maximum of 430 hp. Engine data for the Sunsation CC 34 2012 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sunsation CC 34 2012 carries 265 gallons versus 145 gallons in the Sunsation 36 XRT 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 10 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Sunsation 36 XRT 2012 and Sunsation CC 34 2012 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
