FORT PIERCE, FLA. (June 14) — After receiving excellent reviews with the debut of its SCX 43 offshore catamaran at the Desert Storm Poker Run in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., Frisini Motorsports announces a few new additions to its lineup to complement a rapidly filling production schedule for 2012.

“Our trip to Lake Havasu was fun, eventful and eye-opening,” said Tony Frisina, president of Frisini Motorsports, the parent company behind the Frisini, Sonic Boats and Spectre Powerboats brands. “Now it’s time to focus on building boats. We’ve delivered four 32-foot cats in the past month, we’ve launched some new models and we’re tooling other new ones. We’ve never been busier.

“We recently finished our 38 Hypersonic, which was designed with performance and functionality in mind,” Frisina continued. “We put a lot of effort into testing, and we’re excited to report that with a pair of Mercury Racing HP700SCi engines, the 38 runs an unprecedented 110 mph. We’re proud of that considering it is loaded with amenities for the whole family.”

Featuring a redesigned five-step bottom, the 38-footer has a deep and spacious cockpit with seating for five and a cabin that offers more than 6 feet of headroom (the most in its class), air conditioning and a full head compartment with a stand-up shower. Grafik EFX completed the boat’s custom paint job and Fine Line Interiors handled the beautiful upholstery. Proud owners Jeff and Linda Raley, of Tennessee, recently took delivery of the 38 Hypersonic and couldn’t be happier with the powerful V-bottom.

Another model nearing completion from Frisini is the all-new 390 Center Console, which will feature a variety of configurations and a new stepped bottom to give it better performance and handling than most conventional center console boats.

“I’ve always wanted to build a bigger center console—we’re planning to take it to the next level with the 390,” Frisina said. “We’re expecting to be able to push this boat with twin outboards. We know the triple-engine configuration will probably be most popular, but if we can get it to run well with twin engines rather than triples, we’re passing along a great savings to our customer in terms of fuel economy and cost of the boat.”

Frisina, who has learned a lot about the boat business since starting the Fort Pierce, Fla., company in 2010, explained that he wants to build boats with the consumer in mind. “Building a boat for the customer’s actual needs is an aspect that I don’t think many people in the industry are paying attention to, in all honesty,” he said. “We want to make that our priority.”

Frisina also confirmed that the company is tooling a new 36-foot catamaran to accompany its popular SC 32 models and the all-new SCX 43. He expects the model to be finished early next year.

“The best thing is all of these new boats we’re coming out with are sold boats,” Frisina said. “I’m not building these boats hoping that someone is going to buy them. Our customers believe in us and that we do what we say we’re going to do.”
