Your welcome, just trying to keep Sonic around and help you all out

after looking at both 38 ft sonic and fountain, and since i already have owned a fountain 35 1998, i decided to put a little more effort into the sonic 386- or 42 ft....
i like the hull and feel of a big boat ... but the fountain seems faster and has a better reputation but the sonic gives you the feel of a dodge viper henessy ! big,bad,beefy .....muscle ....
fountain is thin,light,low....

resale value is fountain...sonic seems to be harder to sell and bring less money when you want to unloas as there are less buyers for sonic.. demand and offer .... that is the key to value...check writers make the market, not n.a.d.a value guides...

mr. and mrs nada dont write checks.. they are the smartest of all.. the make money telling everyone how much it is supposed to be... and sometimes screw up deals and even good offers !

like someone mentioned above, i am looking for a deal on a nice boat. i will not settle for a decent of bad boat for cheaper... someone doesnt want to go through the process of the brokerage and wait 1 year to get paid, or someone has a new boat waiting... dont wait a year... i write the check now... ! same day.. no loan...

i sold a 575 m 2005 ferrari last week... worth 239000 cad. no one called for 3 months...
autoforum came up and offered 175000 with a check now...instead of brokerage.... i took the check and walked away !

but mr. and mrs. nada said it was worth 239000...thanks to them 3 months went by ! the true value of a car/boat is what you can get now when you want to unload... not in 6 months...

looking for the right buyer , at the right price almost never happens..as at some point, you always get that one guy who is fed up with waiting and decides to blow it out on ebay or on the classifieds ... and that one guys grabs that one only buyer out there at that time.. and again, another 6 months...

after 1 year, you're 20k below where you started ..you should have taken that check earlier !

just my thought on what trasnpires on the market of buyers and sellers...

i wish to be part of the sonic family....

a broker called offshore.......... here on oso has 2 boats i like..i sent him a pm to call me when he is free.

at 80 000$, the 42 on offshore only would be good....they are aksing for 98k
also the 386 1999 at 80 000$ .... they are asking 96k
both boats must have a trailer...at my offer...
they must be true FRESH WATER BOATS...no stories on the fresh water...
i tolerate normal wear....they are older boats... but still should be very nicely kept...

what do you think of my values on these 2 boats ?

Where's the links for both boats...all I can do is give u my opinion...I just sold my 31 for 65k and ,like u said,nada screwed it up.I had it sold for 75k last year,I said no lower than 77k cause the book on it was around 90k.I lost 10k more and had to sit on it another year Good luck on the 386,I wouldn't let mine go for less than 120k

That Broker called Offshore Preformance, Are good people and will take good care of you.Hugh and John have alway been good to me.....Stevemamanfountian this is just for piece of mind if you do buisness with them.

1999 386 Sonic: http://www.offshore-performance.com/...re-performance

The 386 I believe from an earlier post has a contract on it.

I bought a 31 ss off Hugh from Offshore and both are as good as it gets for honesty and integrety- great people to deal with

Berco did you by chance use to have a Baja?

yes we did , sold that to buy the 31 and love it
