S42ss 2006 boats show
 

nice! nice! Look at boattrader.com classifields section to see the new 42ss 2006. I like that. The big sonic on the side look good. The boat have great color.They made a good choice for the engine.

Split front bolster on a 42? I think its a drawing error.

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

Nice drawing..

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

I really like the way it looks. The split seats too. Wouldn't that be a great boat to have 850's & 6's, staggered ? The 600's sound just a bit small for a boat that size.

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

Its nice to see them doing new things, hopefully they will start producing some new boats soon!!!!!! :drink:

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

What's new? It's the same rendering they have used for 10 years with graphics done by an outside graphic company. Am I missing something here?

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

You're off base.

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

How so?

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

I'm with Cat 5, its the same boat it has always been, I had one. Back in the day you could order your 42 with the side by side seats and the left side cabin door for a bigger head, or the much less orderd split seats.

To me a NEW 42 would be maybe a step bottom or chop 2 feet off the top and make it a sit down boat.

I like Sonics and tell people that are looking for a boat to look into a Sonic but they are pretty much the same boat they have always been.

One could say don't fix it if it aint broke, true but would you go out and buy a new car or truck if it was the same as it was 15 years ago.

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

Yeah, Cat5's right, same old rendering...not necessarily representative of anything new.

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

I just meant atleast they seem tobe making boats again, maybe nothing new but they hopefully are producing them again, so it seems, as for making something again from 10-15 years ago, yeah im a chevy guy and if they stil made the same body style like in 95 i would buy a new one in a heart beat, i had my 95 for 10 years and was much better then my 2005!! :drink:

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

I take 'rendering' as a drawing for the paint. It looks fresh. NIce colors and something new from today, not the last decade.

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

I still have my 1968 Chevelle. I would buy it again
new in a heartbeat! I would also buy a new 1962 Corvette!
Some designs are timeless. The USAF B-52 has been
around for a long time and will be for some time.

Now you can improve the accessories. Like
engines, drives, electronics.....

I would take a new 42 in a heart beat. The ride, room and speed of a boat this size is amazing. A 42 Fountain Executioner with the same power is only 6 mph faster. Don't get me wrong, I love the Fountain but I wouldn't give up the ride, room and safety of the non stepped Sonic for 6 mph. I'm sure the poker run group would disagree but to each his own.

Maybe the new owners of Sonic will come up with a new design like Cig did with the 39 someday but Cig didn't drop the Tog Gun for it.

I don't like it when manufactures do R & D at the consumers expense. Give me the old time proved any day over the new maybe it will work.

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

I don't think if they still built the same cars now that they did 30-40 years ago you would want them that much. Everybody would have one, they would just be cars. If it never was a NEW HOT car that jumped out at you we would just keep the same old stuff just to get around in. Yes the old cars are cool I own a lot of old stuff but I like the new hot stuff too, but the old stuff is cool because not that many are out there and they were the chit in their day.

I loved my 42, I had 4 great trouble free years of fun on that boat, but it would take a big change to get me to buy another 42 or 386 or 45. Even if they keep the same bottom they could change the liner. Look at my 50 Nortech, it's the same bottom they use now but the whole dash and cockpit is new and different.

I have had the same woman for 15 years, done the same job for 20, my 4 best friends I have had since before I was 10. I need to change it up a little every now and then. As far as the step bottom I gotta agree with that. I wont buy just any step boat it has to be one like my Nortech or other top builder I want to be safe first then fast I have cranked it into some pretty hard tuns and it feel's awesome and I have been in some stuff that all I wanted was out.

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
 

I like the good old Sonic don't get me wrong they fill a very nice niche. Always have and always will if they don't mess things up.

My point is simple....IT"S A DRAWING PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A drawing does not a boat make. A drawing does not mean a company is building boats. It doesn't mean a damn thing except they hired a graphics company to do a theroretical drawing.

Show me some fiberglass!!!!!!!!!!

Re: S42ss 2006 boats show
