I hear you on the woman thing! My wife has been boating longer than me, her parents got a Trojan cruiser when she was 5 and have the 34 Sundancer they bought new 24 years ago ( they take great care of it looks like new still). My wife doesn't like to go fast so when I retire in 9 years I have to buy her a cruiser but I can keep my fast boat.

my 88 nova spyder , my first big boat ...

Nice! Welcome to the Wellcraft Nova family. You will see that these have one of the best 26 ft hulls ever designed. It will handle just about anything you can throw at it. What power?

thanks , i actually sold the boat a few months ago and bought one a little newer . it has twin 350s built to a little over 300hp each with alpha 1s . boat rode like a dream just wasnt fast enough for me , and it seemed everytime i used it it ended up costing another $1500 or more at the shop cuz something broke . lucky for the new owner its practically a new boaty now .

'86 Scarab Panther
 

Bought it in 1997, redid it in 2003, sold it in 2004. Twin mercruiser 400 cyclones w/CMI headers & TRS drives. Clocked at 78.6mph

Does anbody have any pictures of a Sonic 24 with I/O's.

I used to ride with a guy way back when 1978-82, on Lake Erie. His was a 1978 w/twin merc 260's, "Tough Enough", great boat.

How about my 24' Donzi Doral same hull. :party-smiley-004:

Nice! Looks like your rebuild was top notch!

That's a sweet ride! Do you still have it?

that scarab looks awesome , but like me you went from a wellcraft to kick**s AT !!
