I got an email today with the new 38' Sonic cat, anyone see it? It has 2 outboards on the swim platform. Wonder how it will perform!!



The New 38 Sonic Cat Outboard

It is only missing one thing .................................................3 More Outboards

It'd be really cool if you could get it with some Yanmar diesels instead of the eggbeaters.

Looks really nice.

I wonder what kind of speeds they will get? The Merc outboards are up to what, 350hp now?

My guess is pretty slow, maybe high 70's? Before the BT the other two boats we were looking into were the Mares 38 and OE 39. The deal breaker was insurance on the cats but both had decent cabins, (wife). The fastest Mares we looked at was a twin Procharged one down by Michigan City. With 850 per side it was just over 100. There is a decent deal on one on Ebay now, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mares...mZ130246588153.

It's made from a Mares mold. I know that Mares have a porpoising problem. I would think with all that weight addd to the transom it would make it even worse. But what do I know!

??? Damn, high 70's for a large cat with 2 outboards seems pretty good to me.

[QUOTE=DMOORE;2655209]I was guessing based on the Mares/Sonic cats with IO's. The one following is for sale on the net. Twin 500 IO's at 500hp each vs twin 350 OB's at 350 hp each. 90 vs high 70's? You're right, probably low to mid 70's best?
