Does anyone know this Sonic ?
 

Martain Marine has a 1996 35ss for sale that i am looking at. Does anyone know the history of this boat?

it came from the N.Y. area and was traded for a Tiger. Owners name Mario.

thanks

another...... you can see the name on the arch "LADLE"

Looks alot like LoveMachine's Sonic, but it's in Maryland. I like those old Sonics!

With a name like that, you have to pour 12 beers at a time into a bucket and drink with a ...........Ladle!!!:p :D :D

I think I have seen that up close, and might have a photo, or two???

Just Jokin,

Mark knows what I am talkin about, how goes it Mark, any new news???

What's to know. One owner, 400 hours, 8 years old, that's about the national average 50 hours per year. New rail, new bezels, all clean, nice cabin,runs excellent and fair price book average 66-70. Selling for 53,000. And will make someone a nice boat. cb

Sounds like a hell of a bargain!

I know that boat.. It was stored at the same High and Dry I keep my boat at. http://www.algroversmarine.com/
In fact, it was for sale for a while for I think $69K. I didn't know the owner personally. I just saw him around the marina during the season. While he was not what I would call a regular user, I have seen the it running around the area. It ran good.
I remember one time maybe 2 years ago. I was running this fairly narrow channel chasing down a large cruiser for a good jump. While I was slowing down ( I know, I shouldn't have slowed down ) to size up the wake, the guy in that Sonic blew by me on my right side and hit the wake while cutting in front of me. I was really pissed off. Had I not slowed down it would have been close. I never saw him again to confront him about it.
The last time I saw it, it had 502's. I also know that 1 drive was just done. I don't remember which side. I just remember it sitting up on blocks with a drive off for a short while. I also remember a couple of guys going for a sea trial with the guy who handles the sales. His name is Mark Landau, 516-546-8880. Maybe he could give you a better history. Thats about all I can remember about it. BUT, I am 100% sure it is the boat...
If you want to talk to me personally, call me on my cell 347-739-0242. I will be around tomorrow all day.

Awsome looking boat there and looks in perfect condition!!

:D :D :D

thanks for the info Checkmate. The stbd drive does appear new.

i have a contract on the boat with CB and am going down to fla next week. i was just looking for a little insider info.

Mark, Did you get your boat sold ?

yes Joe, sold the Checkmate this week. :) I'll miss that boat.

WOW ! Thats great you lucky dog ! :D

Did it go on ebay or private ?
The second best day of owning a boat , The day it leaves !!!:D :D

Congrats Mark!!! That's a nice boat. I can't believe how big that cabin is!!:cool: :cool:

Mark,
Your're going to need to get a pair of superchargers to keep up this year, good luck on the new ride:cool:

The boat didn't make the reserve on ebay, but the guy who bought it was watching the auction. I really didn't expect it to sell on ebay, i just used ebay as a means of cheap avdertisement.

Hope all goes well for you! :)

thanks for the kind words :rolleyes:

even when i had an 80mph boat, i still only cruised at 50mph. no reason to beat the chit out of my equipment beacuse you people feel like running full throttle the whole way. i'll meet you there. i know where i'm going.

besides i'd rather relax and have a cocktail.

Looking forward to having you in the Sonic family. I know that you have been looking for a while.

ST31

And there is plenty of room for cocktails on that boat!!!!!!!

I am Jealous, that is one sweet ride, mark, your lucky I am broke, or I woulda bought it from Craig that day I was in the shop takin pictures for you!!!!

These boats are great for cruising, and ready to go when you are, I love cruising down the ICW down here next to one, and just listening to the twins Idle, then we hit the inlet, and they are GONE!!!

A few months ago, I was running the no wake zone next to a 45 with triples, and a chick driving, Dad wanted to know what that gay roll bar was for????

Mark,
With a cabin that big cocktail hour will be on your ride, nice size cabin, I have a guy that will transport your boat cheaper than the other let me know
