This is my old 31 Sonic...
Took this boat every where and loved it, one thing I have noticed with Sonic over the years is they do a great job of making the boat feel as large as it can. Use of Space, cabin lay out etc., You get the ride quality and still have a very usable boat at the slip too. 3 piece Hull so you have finished Fiber Glass cabin. Foamed between also. Windscreen gives added head room for head. Miss the Walk around Deck, everyone thinks they are ugly until you own one. Keeps you right side up too, instead of on your arse. Bottom line is no matter the size they all have there advantages and side affects. But in hindsight this was a very well rounded boat that allowed you the biggest of lakes, oceans, dammed Rivers, and small lakes. Poker Runs in the Rough I could still run with the Big Boys with the longer hulls. Obviously you will always have the other Big Boys that out power you in any class. Hope this Helps with your thoughts. Jon |

I have a question. There has been mention in this thread about the "wide load" laws. Doesn't that apply to the width of the trailer wheels? Not the width of the boat. I'm not sure about this, but for example a dually probably takes the law pretty much to it's limit with the wheel width not the over hanging fenders. I don't know, just asking.

Actually it does. Only about 1% of v bottom powerboats on the water are as wide as your outerlimits.

I have been stoped in ohio for width of my boat he barely let me go.

You start knocking over mail boxes and street signs, yes your gunna get pulled over. As far as I'm concerned width in not a issue. Get the boat you want or forever it will eat at you!
I always loved the line: Hey, You scratched my anchor. RIP RODNEY D |
On my boat the widest point is about at the helm and when he measured at the transom he got just under 9ft he send if it was over 9th en we would have a problem. My boat sites over the wheel wells and I think that makes it look like is is bigger than it should be. He even send after measuring it that it looks bigger then what he measured lol

I think that trailer set up also affects towing. I.e. My 33 outlaw has a long tongue that makes it pull like a 40ft LOA trailer.
With that said, I don't have any issues towing and really just have to watch where I get fuel to make sure I can swing in. [ATTACH=CONFIG]550152[/ATTACH] |
