I saw that ad and really think that boat looks distinctive. I don't know much about Sonics, but I've seen some really positive comments on them. Congrats!

Thank you bud.

That's our plan with her. We want her to start and enjoy each and every time we go out. I def have a lot of respect for the boat, the power, and the ocean.

The boat looks great and well taken care of. Well done!! I have always loved the look of the sonics.

Was it difficult to get financing on a older boat? My old 2001 is for sale and I thought about buying it but I don't have the cash and figured financing would be hard.

Not at all.

However I used my Credit Union who I have a great relationship with and also financed very little. Just took at loan over what i had planned to pay for a boat in cash.

Congrats! It's a sweet looking Sonic. Ed Cozzi was an excellent choice for a surveyor, I also used him when I purchased mine back in 2005. Best of luck with your new toy and like Bob said treat her with love and she will love you back long time :)

I know, I can't even get out to the races this year. My buddy picked that day to get married. So other than thr fri night event I wont be out there at all.

Would love to meet up one day though when it's here.

Will meet up for sure. Nice looking rig. I had 496's in the first Avanti (I rolled on I- 75) you will like them. Your Sonic and the Avanti actually have the same hull history from Charlie Mac"s Banana hull. Great hulls for rough waters. You'l like it, enjoy.

Congrats!! She's a beaut.

I've watched all of your threads about this journey. Glad you found the right boat.
