Thanks guys for all the information :drink:. We are just starting to look around and get ideas. We have ridden in a 32' AT that had the 6 pack racing bolsters and no cabin. Nice ride and good length for pulling behind the truck since I have no reasonable lakes within 2 hours of the house. Had several powerboats (Fountains, Bajas, and 1 AT) traded in when I was with the SeaRay dealer on GLOC for 6 years. The power bug bit back then but have had the Sundancer ever since. Now the boat is almost 8 hours away on GLOC, too far of a drive and we want to take the kids a lot more than several times a year now. Probably nothing before year end but we are trying to have something in the toy stable before next summer!!! The 31SS has just caught our eye. Looking at mid 90's, 29'-35', Sonic, Formula (wife likes b/c of windshield), Donzi, AT & Cigs. It's just going to have to be the one that trips the trigger with the right price at the right time. Thanks again.

Just make sure you get one with a/c and a fridge. Being that far south you will need it.

The Sonic windscreen deflects better than a Formula windshield.....IMO.

First half of 2002 article on 31ss

2nd half

What is it that everyone says?? "It's not the heat, it's the humidity". Yeah, whatever, remind me of that when I'm in Arizona next week and it's 110:eek:. I will admit, the 100 degree days with 90% humidity we get in south Arkansas can get a little uncomfortablebut I still prefer that too 65 or colder. With the wife in on decision making and going from a 37' SR Dancer to a performance boat is going to require the neccessities to let this happen. A/C, fridge, and microwave are the 3 requirements she will probably have along with a flat screen tv and dvd player for the midgets. :ernaehrung004:

:cool: like the sound of that!

Thanks for putting that up! The 1st two pages work, but the 3rd page was saying corrupted file and wouldn't open. Nice article. I will call Hotboat and see if there's any chance to get a back copy of the mag.

Try it again. I was able to read it OK.

I used this as the performance spec for my 2006 31ss.
I put this in the purchase agreement with sonic.

I took two years to find a replacement for my 28SS Sonic.
The 31SS was certainly a good choice. I just finished a trip
from Melbourne Beach, Fl to DC on the AICW. The boat ran
great. I am probably one of the few to make this 1150 mile
trip in a performance boat. I think you would have to go
to a 38 ft or greater to match the performance of the 31SS.
It is a dry boat in all but the most complex seas.

Good luck on your search.
