22' Sonic
Does anyone have any info on the 22' sonics. I am looking at a 2003 with a 250 outboard. Speed, handling, ride etc. Thanks in advance!

There've been a couple of good discussions about these boats over the years...I don't know if the search feature will bring them up.
Cool runabout/ski boat. Very solid construction. Cockpit(surprisingly deep) like a mini sit-down race boat w/center throttle & shift. Shallow-vee bottom = quick plane and lots of acceleration w/ decent stability. Outboard power versions are fairly rare...that '03 must've been about the last one. Fun boat when used as intended.

22 sonic
I had a 22 sonic a few years back.
Was the I/O model (sporster) with 350 mag mpi engine
and Bravo I.
Fun boat, made well and was pretty quick but did
not like any kind of choppy water.

hi
i own a 220 sportster since '05 and had a lotta fun since then with it.
it is the boat tested in the '97 powerboat mag, 454mpi bravo, no cabin setup.
i changed engine an have a 500+ mill under the hatch right now. she does easy 80+, have seen 87 on the speedo at cold weather.
yeah, she has a deep cockpit and i feel save in the boat.
you still need balls to go that fast, more ball as you get more chop.
she gets realy free at speeds 60+ and chop is no problem - as long you can hold the speed.
if you go slower, you gonna feel the boat does not like it.
i have a 1:36 bravo and spin a 24 pitch 4 blade up to 5800 rpm, nose cone, imco add on steering, stainless marine exhaust, manual trim and drive indicators, and victory trim tabs (280 k plane size)
