Default What to get next...

So our boat sold and we are planning on picking up something next fall, but we really don't know what we want. We are a family of 5, and need room in the cockpit, the wife wants more comforts for the kids like, fridge, microwave, TV, a/c would be a plus. All we have had is Baja and I would like something different, looks like the 38 sonic has what we want, but I would like other options. Is there anything else that compares to the cockpit room of a 33 & 36 baja as well as the 38 sonic??? Budget not set in stone but probably 60-65 max.

I found the headroom in the Sonic nice but the sleeping area is tiny. You overnight? If so I think you`re looking at a cruiser.

I have a Sonic 358 (for sale too) and the cabin room is second to none. Tall ceiling, TV, DVD, fridge, sink, standing head, microwave, and all. I find the sleeping room great in mine but I am 5'7" and the GF is 5'8" so if you are 6"+ then I could see that but in that size most beds will be small to someone so tall.

The cockpit is good, could be a touch larger but it is fine. We boat with usually 6-7 on board and we find room to make life work just fine.

All and all it is a great boat.

I would take a look at a 380 Powerquest.

I don't want to go to a cruiser we still have the want to go fast. We don't overnight unless it's the wife and I and we've had to many drinks when we don't have kids. So like twice a year... The cockpit on the sonic 358 looks the size of the 29 outlaw we had, so I'd want to go 38. Thanks for the powerquest and formula suggestions. Anyone have any others to throw in that may fit???

43 Black Thunder
38 Powerquest
38 Donzi ZX
37 Active Thunder
40, 36, 35, 33 Outlaws have the best cockpit

I know you don't want a cruiser but cruisers ROCK! I love ours
