Default New 38 Sonic Outboard CAT!

I got an email today with the new 38' Sonic cat, anyone see it? It has 2 outboards on the swim platform. Wonder how it will perform!!



The New 38 Sonic Cat Outboard

The Latest edition to the Sonic Fleet is the 38 Cruising Outboard Power Cat designed by Mares. Fuel prices are up and are going to stay that way. Sonic is looking for more ways to improve fuel consumption by introducing the Outboard Cruising Cat.
The Cat hull is the perfect platform for efficiency, combined with outboard power, this boat is the wave of the future. Primarily aimed at the European market there is nothing like it on the water.
The cockpit offers spacious sun lounges, wet bar, grill and a back deck that gives easy access to the water. This Power Cat is like no other and has room below with a queen bed, enclosed head, flat screen TV and nicely appointed furniture. She is available with 2009 custom paint by EFX and various engine options.

It'd be really cool if you could get it with some Yanmar diesels instead of the eggbeaters.

Looks really nice.

Queen bed, head, flat screen tv, furniture, wet bar, grill, two outboards and 38 feet long. The question is will it break 50mph?

My guess is pretty slow, maybe high 70's? Before the BT the other two boats we were looking into were the Mares 38 and OE 39. The deal breaker was insurance on the cats but both had decent cabins, (wife). The fastest Mares we looked at was a twin Procharged one down by Michigan City. With 850 per side it was just over 100. There is a decent deal on one on Ebay now, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mares...mZ130246588153.

It's made from a Mares mold. I know that Mares have a porpoising problem. I would think with all that weight addd to the transom it would make it even worse. But what do I know!

Yes the new Verado 350 but it weighs over 625lbs. compared to the 300XS which weighs just 505lbs.
