Kirk is a great guy to deal with, fair pricing, and prompt shipping. Stands behind what he sells and went out of his way to make sure things are right. He is usually my first email when I have a list of parts to fill.

I am probably going to take a bunch of heat for this. I do like 22 Scarabs, but Wellcrafts build Quality is not the best(sealing stuff etc.), and think Kirk, and Elite marine are great, but I think this is a lot more boat for similar $$.

Kind of funny you posted that,

Brad is one of Kirk best Friends.

I didnt even think of that

Well, Kirk would probably agree with me, the 22 Scarab is a Decent boat, but the Sonic is SWEET!!!!!!!!

That guy said the TRS is way stronger the a bravo. Ive seen this boat listed a few times. Sounds like he is a bit behind the times. I havent heard anyone say "please make sure it has a TRS i dont want those weak bravos"

The TRS is stronger then a bravo...only issues people have with them is that they dont make them any more...parts are getting a little harder to find but still can be bought....the fact they use a transmission for shifting...and add more weight to the boat then a bravo does...but i wouldnt hesitate to get a TRS boat over a bravo if thats the only limiting factor between two boats i was looking at
Plus you also have the option of upgrading to a Konrad if the TRS ever gets to the point that you cant do anything with it.

I have only great experience from dealing with Kirk. I have made many over seas orders (I'm located in Sweden) from him and he's a stand up guy!!!

I would definately not worry a bit about buying a boat from him!

Thanks alot guys. I do my best.

I was actually shocked when I picked up this boat and ran in Loto. It handled way better than I thought for a 22' and the black is a matte or satin finish wasnt hot at all. I have a friend that had a back tiple Fountain, you couldnt touch the boat in the sun at all. Actually gave people blisters.

For some reason this boat was not hot at all.

This boat runs great, handles great and has a bullet proof engine/drive package. The next owner will be very pleased.

Hey Kirk this is Matt Laney. We are really loveing the boat. It sounds like everyone loves u here on offshore. If u get the stereo in and all the stuff u said in ur emails then we would love to buy it. The price is right up my ally. We would love to own it and enjoy it for the next few years. So hopefully we can come to an agreement on this beautiful boat.

He said love four times
