It will be fine. My dually is a 6.0 with 4.10's and pulls my 386 to 60-65mph OK. Just be sure to use a hitch rated for the load as hp500efi said.

I pull my 31 with a Tahoe and it gets the job done. But, I eats the gas in city driving. Can't wait until my lease is up.

You should give us a call. We are in Michigan and have a 31 Sonic with both of what you are looking forward. The interior is loaded with absolutley everything and we have twin 575SCi's. You can get the best of both worlds for you and your wife. We've only gone 85 a couple times but it will definitely go faster than that if you are looking for speed. We had a Sunsation before the Sonic and the handling and features of the Sonic are far better. We still liked our Sunsation but Sonic has more to offer if your wife wants to comfortable and happy! Trust a woman! I'm the one who picked out our boat and the hubby didn't fight me at all. Especially when I'm pretty sure he was full staff after he heard it start up. We will be at hot boat this weekend at Hardy Dam if you want to make a weekend trip and drive it. (We pull ours with a Lincoln Navigator. We took it to a weight station and it was 9700 lbs trailer and all with 3/4 tank of gas.)

Becca's boat is a good deal. I would buy it if I could figure out a good excuse to give the wife as why we need 2 offshore boats! Dano had a 31 with 575's that ran 98 I believe once it was dialed in.

I pull my 31ss loaded with my F250 (diesel) and it does a great job. Just had to throw that in there.... please continue...

Thanks for the offer. Your boat is definitely kick-ass. But, I'm checking out a boat on the Chain of Lakes this weekend. Since my wife is willing to travel so far just to see a boat, I'm treating her to a stay at a nice resort in Lake Geneva.

If you see Wette Vette at Hardy Dam, tell him Plum Crazy says hi!

Thanks! Do you remember what kind of outdrives he had? Everyone always ask us how fast our boat goes but we aren't sure because I'm not going to let my husband try it. Too dangerous. From old posts I saw he looked to have the same 575's with the super chillers. It would be interesting to know for the next time someone asks us. He even had the same paint job as us I believe but was minus some of the extras in the cabin that we have. We had the drives spinning inwards and switched that for better handling but did notice a little speed loss. Better safe than fast though.

I think he had sportmaster lowers. He tried a LOT to get to 100, I'm not sure if he ever made it. I'm sure your boat will do an honest 90. If you ever get to Lake Ontario, I will be happy to verify that for you!

Thanks for the info! Now I can tell my husband so he never gets the itch to find out. He may already know top speed and won't admit it though!

I want to give a big thanks to kjberman. He offered to take me and my wife out on his 31SS. We traveled 6 hours down to the Chain of Lakes expecting only to get a quick tour of the boat and a lap around the bay. Instead, Kevin and his friends entertained us for 4+ hours and even risked letting me drive. It was a very fun afternoon.

I think I'm sold on the Sonic. I was very impressed with the handling, solid ride, and quick planing. It's a great boat!
