Richard.... being around go fast boats to much, I pretty much know what to expect as far as top speed goes.... I was more looking for the quiker plane, faster cruising speed and things of that nature. I loved the sonic in every aspect except its performance. Needed trim tabs heavy just to cruise in calm water, and it planed like a 250 lbs english mastif with a broken leg. So i believe that this will be the perfect step up from a 26 sonic. The only worries I have is how it will be in the rough because the upper chesapeake in HORRIBLE at a moments notice.

My issue with it setting low came when last season I had two divers on the boat at a ocean race that was called off due to storm. The two guys wanted to go out the inlet with 10-12 footers rolling in and the following sea coming back in with that low transom. I do like the way they look

John theres a bad a$$ 10 meter that comes to my marina every so often to launch. The guy is a total a -hole but the boat is very well taken care of and is 100+ mph boat. Good luck with it and cant wait to see it.

We have come asross inder the narrows from the hudson to nj 14 miles in 6-8 footers I just add a littel tab to hold it down and pritty much run right asross. When we arive in nj the others that have come asross from fishing can't believe we can run in that stuff.

Thats good to know, I really had my mind made up on a 32 sunsation dominator but fell in love with this boat. Im keeping my fingers crossed that the fountain brand lives up to the hype so to speak.
