My motors are naturally aspirated and making approx. 1.5 HP's per cu. in.

How's your 502 doing?? BTW, that equates to 750 HP's for your motor.
Again, naturally aspirated.

And mine runs pretty fair at speeds over 20, in chop over a foot too

That Sonic could be manufactured brand new today almost as is, and sell well IMO. Timeless design and great looks.

BTW, w/the recent talk of top end passes, this boat went 141 on radar in the '80's. Pre GPS.
No juice.
He was an STV dealer in Ohio and where I bought my River Rocket.
That boat was evil. I rode in it a couple times.

I know this boat well, in fact it was affectionately known as "lethal weapon"
When Jim ran it down the Lake, it made an unbelievable howling sound that you'd never forget
I'm sure that a lot of this had a definite effect on me leaning heavily toward outboard power on the last 8 boats that I've owned
