BN, what was the make and size of your cruiser? Knew you sold the sonic, didn't know you got into a cruiser... We moved to a cruiser, giving it a try...

Your old 31 paint job is still my favorite!!!

Congrats on new boat!

We didn't have anything for a couple of years, then we bought a 2003 Rinker 270 FV. Nice boat, great layout, but could't stand having a single and it wasn't very easy to haul around. We decided that we weren't quite ready for a cruiser yet.

Yes, that paint job was our favorite too, but we have plans for this one.

djmaddmatt If you choose to add air, I would measure the comparment and shoot for the 6500 BTU. I had a 31 w/ac down here in Va. the factory (5000) had a hard time keeping up in the middle of the day,it did fine in the evening after it cooled a little. With the 6500 BTU you can get reverse cycle heat and a programable thermostat. It's a few hundred more but after having both I feel it's worth the money. I have 12.5 BTU reverse heat A/C in the 45 you can use it for a meat locker in the summer and the heat will run you out in the cold fall days.

My thoughts are you can always cruise in a go fast ....(Sonic)..... but you can't go fast in a cruiser...... so the way I look at it I have the best of both worlds.......

and nice ride BN........

If you want a Sonic cruiser hang the arch and run the bimmini back to the arch and tie it all together, Instant go-fast cruiser.

Thanks Bill! Bruce said that they are in the process of moving the factory. I wanted to order new railing pads for the cockpit, but they said it will be a month before they can make them.

Anyone have 4 red and 4 yellow pads they want to trade for 8 purple ones?
