Default Wanting to upgrade

Got my first chance to ride in a 31 Sonic last month, what a boat!!! I am determined to sell my 2002 25 Baja Outlaw SST and upgrade (want a 31 with twin 496mag ho or 502's). Financing more power is a mess and I do not want SC's (the 454's from what I am reading are okay but a little slower at 385hp). Have my boat listed on this site. Wish me luck, the market is slow (wish I could trade up now but do not know where or who I could work through on this).

Appreciate that insight on contacting the factory (not wanting to go new-depreciation and sales tax are a killer as we all know). A nice 2000-2003 would be sweet! Thank You again.

www.apmboats.com has a few used ones:

http://www.offshore-performance.com/index.html
is the new Sonic dealer for the Chesapeake Bay area. They are a GREAT group of people that I have known for years.

Have you checked out Active Thunder? The 32/33 is comparable to the 31SS, and has a bit more to offer. Let me know if I can be of any help.

IMO you would be better off with a freshwater boat with 525SC's than a salt water boat.
Carrboy's is a sweet ride.
