Build quality of Sonic
 
Would these boats be comparable to a Formula for build quality? I would be looking at a 2000 or newer. My first choice is a 31 Cigarette but a Sonic is on a short list of boats. I have to sell my 28 first but trying to get a little info on the Sonic's. Thanks...

Heavy solid boat.... I love mine... great in big water, largest cabin I know of on a 31. Mine is a 1989 and the hull is still really solid along with most of the original equipment.

31 Sonic will run circles around a bullet. Great boat. The 31 Sonic gets its bottom from the old school 24 Donzi. Nice solid ride. Jay Ross was a master.

Sonic has always been a very well built boat. I would price a new one just for the heck of it. Frisini is pricing all there stuff very competitively. And Tony seems like a great guy to deal with.The new Sonic's look like a very nice piece.

Been on a few 31s. Very well put together.

I have worked on several and have always been impressed with the build quality. Very solid boats and well thought out as far as layout and use of space. I would love to get my hands on a late 80's 30 or 33 foot with the arch.

You mean a better boat in rough water? Or faster with the same power? Im not sure what you mean here.........

Great boat, destroys big water. I love mine. Heavy boat, great ammenities, great head room. However they will not be as fast as a step bottom boat of equal size/length with same power.

I was at the new Frisini factory in FL. and Tony was building a couple of Sonic boats..... very nice boats, and yes best prices of any Sport boats out there. And also a Great guy to do a deal with, he is always there for phone calls.
