Longest Trip on Your Sonic
A year ago now I was planning my trip fro Melbourne Beach, Fl to DC. I made the trip May 16, 2008 to May 21, 2008 on my 31SS. The length of the trip was about 1,100 statute miles.
What is the longest trip you guys have made (on the water) on your Sonic?

Long Ride !!!
I've taken my 386 STS from John's Pass (Treasure Island Florida) to Big Pine Key and then to Key West. It was a great ride with lot's of Dolphins along the way. Average cruise btw 52 -55 mph.

A lot. The price at some marinas was over $5.00/gal. The total
fuel usage was 763 gal.
I kept the boat at Hope Springs Marina. The gas price there was at or
below street price. Hope Springs is the best marina I saw on the trip.

Tampa to Hawks Cay, then up to Miami Gov't Cut, then off to Grand Bahama Island. The return trip was back to Stuart and came through the ditch to Lake Okeechobee then through the western side of the ditch and then back up to Tampa Bay. Have made this trip twice and had a great time both times. All this was done within 10 days each time.
