How about twin 800hp Seatechs in a 42' Sonic? And, yes it is for sale. I was told that the boat was built to go 100. I don't think it made it though. Doesn't matter, I still have wood.

The acceleration is unreal!!
I believe the 42 Sonic never came close to its desired speed!!

you can also use Turbines which can use diesel/biodiesel or almost any other fuel.

Sonic was a 46 and ran 98 that's pretty close.

Whats the price on the Sonic and where is it located?? What kind of drives would be on something like that -- I'm guessing Arnesons???
