Looking to find outif anyone has some information on Sonic's out board configuration, It has twin 225 Johnsons, trying to get any info on it.

The 27’ outboard is a rare find and may have the engines mounted directly to the transom or on a GIL tubular brackets. If it is an early 90’s boat it may have a Stainless Marine bracket. Post up some pics. With 225’s it will be a low 60mph boat at best. Cool find.

Thank you for the information, I'm going to look at it on Monday

Wow, never seen an OB Sonic W/the splash well.

I had two 24’ twin OBs but boat w/flat transoms.

Great all around boats but as the first Sonic salesman I talked to told me, “beware, they are drivers boats”.

But that was only true on top due to their round keels snd not having a real pad.

Cool boat.

The motors are direct injected Fichts.
Have them gone through.

Lots of hate out there for them but if solid, w/good gas n oil, they are great motors.

looking forward to more pics.

Second guessing myself now…..

Thinking I saw 28’s w/splashwells.

Almost bought one with V-8 Rudes on it and thinking it may have had one.

Was also educated by the Sonic historians that a lot of the 28’s - 32’s were the same boats just had different marketing??

If you decide not to purchase the boat, please post a link to the for sale ad. Thanks.

I'm 90% sure I'm going to buy it. But I will let everyone know. Please keep any information coming that can help. I can't seem to find much info on this particular set-up. What was the max outboard power these would handle?

The 24’s had a design flaw in how they used the rear seat bases to reinforce the transom.

Yours has a different lay out so probably not an issue.

Worst case would be adding reinforcing knees.

That being done, it’s screaming for a pair of 450R’s.

Those motors are 550 lbs per, meaning you can get to 300 HP w/new motors at similar weight.

Thats a net gain of 150 HP w/no weight penalty.

One negative to those motors though, they’re basically worthless for retail.

If both are solid, w/motor specific rigging, you might get $2500 - $4k for everything.

i was a sonic dealer for jay back in the day, we had a 24 with 200 mercury's , ran good in rough water and a handful in came water , as that was a copy of a 24 donzi , had a rounded bottom . that 27 was a different boat then the 24 .

Here’s one of my 24’s.
