Need some advice....45 SS
 
Anyone who can give me some of their thoughts regarding this Sonic 45SS w/ triple EFI's.

Tell me what the good and bad points are. My biggest problem with this boat are the Triples! I see $$$$ going out the window, very quickly... What do all of you think.

In 2000 I had a 42 SS with twin 500 efi's. Overall it was a great boat. I also had a buddy with trip 825 KE in a 45. If you like the styling, Cool. They ride ok cause of the bottom design, no steps and a 25 degree deadrise, but will porpoise just slightly at around 60mph..easily fixed, go slightly faster or slower. Has awesome cabin height and amenities. If you are looking for a large boat, with over night excursions this boat will work. The 500 efi's are extremely dependable and I've know of people with over 400 hours on them with out a rebuild. Good Luck. Jeff

Triple 500EFIs are not as bad as you would think. Call Bill at 301-674-2773. We have a 45 now have have owned several 42s. Great boat .... we can answer any questions you have.

45Sonic..I love your paint. NICE. What's the top end on yours, and how's the gas consumption?? Is it "bad" or "REALLY BAD!! ".. lol

To bad you won't take a trade, I'd buy yours!
