Mike

wow some great info thanks for everyones input,sydwayz i like what u are saying great info on the hull. i will try your suggestions first and will look into larger tabs maybe k-planes?

with 2 people and full tank it will run between 64-66 mph on gps.would like to pick up some more speed but wanted to figure out tis porpising issue first.

this is my second boat my first was a 88 baja force 235 which i never touched the tabs and was able to trim the drive alot, so i guess i thought this boat would be the same. but this is a diffrent animal. on the sonic i dont trim the drive alot,not as much as i thought i would be able too.

again thanks too everyone
john

It also settles down pretty good at 50 mph cruse. I've called Sonic to see if they every did any R & D with a shorty. They didn't. Thats one thing I want to try this summer.

noise pollution what is the rocker bottom?

Rocker means the bottom has somewhat of a banana shape to it; front to back.

I think around 6000lbs loaded.

Your boat and motor looks nice. :ernaehrung004: I have the same paint and colors. My boat weighed in at 6200 lbs. Best speed 71.6
