Need some advice....45 SS
Anyone who can give me some of their thoughts regarding this Sonic 45SS w/ triple EFI's.
Tell me what the good and bad points are. My biggest problem with this boat are the Triples! I see $$$$ going out the window, very quickly... What do all of you think.

In 2000 I had a 42 SS with twin 500 efi's. Overall it was a great boat. I also had a buddy with trip 825 KE in a 45. If you like the styling, Cool. They ride ok cause of the bottom design, no steps and a 25 degree deadrise, but will porpoise just slightly at around 60mph..easily fixed, go slightly faster or slower. Has awesome cabin height and amenities. If you are looking for a large boat, with over night excursions this boat will work. The 500 efi's are extremely dependable and I've know of people with over 400 hours on them with out a rebuild. Good Luck. Jeff

To bad you won't take a trade, I'd buy yours!
