Bruce was a great guy. He dropped what he was doing and spend hour showing myself and a friend around his facility all the boats that were being built to include a 358 MCOB with triple 350 merc outboards!!!! He answered all question I had concerning my 358 I own. Just a pleasure to talk to, all around great guy!! Sonic is bring the 42 and 32 to the Emerald Coast Poker run next, so I'll get to see the 42 Hyper-sonic in person, maybe a ride??? Sonic is going to the direction of outboards in all its boats like the rest of the market is venturing. Sorry no outboard will ever sound like a big block!!

I asked Bruce you question concerning parts, he said you'll have to give him a call. From what I seen around his shop there wasn't a big parts room or storage area.

Which boat are you ordering? I seen a 358 MCOB with triple 350 Merc's, 42 Hyper sonic with a painted black bottom, several 32 Cat's with twin 400 Merc outboards and 540 Bulldogs blue motors. I only disturb him for an hour but it didn't seem to bother Bruce at all. So I bet your delivery schedule wasn't impacted by my visit.

I'm building a 36 CC with triples. Making a bunch of styling changes, and seating layout. It should be done sometime around November.
Glad you got to meet Bruce, he is a great guy!!

Is your 36 CC going to have a large flip front seating area forward of the drivers console? If so, Bruce showed us your boat and how they have modified to the flip seating area to provide a large seating area for people when flipped up allowing them to get out of the sun/weather. This boat was just a white hull only, far from being done. Going to be a nice boat for sure.
