It is always great to see Roger back online.......I will have to say he nailed that one on the head.

Everybody has there opinions. I test drove an 03 38 Fastech on sunday night because I was thinking about changing boats. I wouldnt hit a dog in the a$$ with the way that boat rode or handeled over my current ride. It was the biggest rattle trap I have ever been on. Not that this is an opinion even the the dealer was un impressed. My 2c

I'd choose a 35 Lightning over a 31 Sonic without thinking twice. Sonic may have a bigger cabin but the Fountain has the bigger cockpit and I think much better access to the engines. I've never been impressed with the Sonics, the ones I've been in had Faria gauges, cheap looking upholstry, etc. Their hulls may be solid but IMO they finish them out with cheap materials. I could be wrong about this because there aren't many around here but the ones I have seen didn't do anything for me.

35 w/ 525's??

find a 31, run him down, say hello, and hit the sticks, answer to your question, have fun

And the OSO crew comes through for fellow member's insecurities!

Now if I can just get Coty Marine to get my trailer in, I can bring the damn thing home! The Chesapeake has been calling my name!

Here is the Lightning I bought:

That is one dope ride!

remember, no high speed turns!! nice ride and fast.

Got it.

Driving/owning a Sonic is like taking an baby oil bath with a fat chick....
1) You have no idea which way she is gonna go no matter how hard you try to "steer" her
2) You don't want anyone to ever see you.....ever!

Sweet!!!!!!!

Take your time learning how to turn and trim it!!!
