April 1.... but at Easter I thought about canceling the order for a numger of reasons but did not. then I was told that they needed money to order the engines... then it became end of may then it was june 13, 20, 27.... then on July 1 i got an email from John at the factory that the engines were in and I would have the boat in 4-6 days... I later learned from Tim Sharkey who posted the photos that my engines were still in the crates in Toms River NJ and not in FL. then I began to deal with carmine who seems to think the boat will be ready in a couple of weeks... I was jsut wondering in this post if anyone had the same experinece as me.... or if anyone actually ordered a new sonic since I did.

why so long?

I'LL SAY IT THIS FRISINI MOTOR SPORTS SUX. this is bullchit you order a boat in oct now its 10 months later they sux. OUTERLIMITS are building custom boats in 2 months. sonic owes you big and should give you 525s morons. it sux when you give some CO lots of money up front and they Fu. hey I hope you get it before the 27th so you could break it in going to BI. sorry you missed the pokerrun this weekend . art

I've had quite a lot of experience with the old Sonic. The one constant that I all ready see is they inabliltiy to get the boats done on time.
Numerous times I would show up at the factory in Hollywood Fl to pick up boats to be delivered up north and had to sit there and wait for either paint to dry (my boat) or for seats to be installed, or for whatever they forgot to do BEFORE calling and saying the boat was ready to go.

I can not speak for the Frisini Co as I have not had any dealings with them yet.

Hopefully Bruce is still with them, he is the cement that kept Sonic afloat for a long time

Thats too bad about Lollie. She was great with responses and getting you what you needed. Never have had the pleasure of speaking with Bruce. Hopefully he will still be around. Seems as if Sonic has cut the ties or lost the ties with alot of employees and or suppliers. Hopefully they can keep things togather and keep producing a great boat.

Just wanted to update, received a text from Tony and he said they are working hard to get my boat done.. .he even said he was going to throw in a trailer for me for free.... now that is a nice guy... also got a call from Carmine in Toms River.. he said the boat will be done by next weekend... so it is getting there.... I just want to break it in before going to Long Island for the Don Aronow race in September.

Better get a decent trailer. Not a Rocket trailer

Rocket isnt bad....once you go thru and replace most everything on the trailer.

Tell them you want a Manning.

What are the down falls of the Rockets? Ours is an '03 and everything seems pretty good yet, although we don't trailer much.
