Come down and do an FMO run with us this coming season. I think you would fit in nicely with our group. Let me know if you need some help for that to happen.

Now comes the bad part......I can not get her home till mid Oct sadly as I have too much going on at the time to get away and then am gone on a vaca for 8 days....so not going to pick her up untill I get back.

Congratulations! Perfect timing, pick it up and on your way back home drop it in in Fort Myers and do the FMO run with us on Oct 12th! http://www.ftmyersoffshore.com/

Sorry we couldn't get something worked out, but the distance and timing was fighting us..

Just a bit lol. I did actually get them down from what that listed price was so it wasnt too far over what I wanted to spend.

I hear ya on that other part. I still love your A/T and I wish ya the best on her buddy. Boat is a beaut!

Congrats!!! Always fun buying a new boat.. This one looks nice and only idled a lot. I wonder if the starboard motor was always the first to crank? couple hours difference??

At least we have a longer season down here so you can run another month or so depending on weather.

Maybe since it got hot late, it will last longer? hope so!!

enjoy!!

Congrats on the new boat, you will love the Sonic. I had a 28 Sonic back in the day with a single and had MRD build my engine, that boat ran 82 mph and back in the early 90's that was fast. Loved that boat. And hope you will have as much fun as I had with mine. Best of luck Nate. And let me know if you want to keep it inside the warehouse.
