How & why does it take 10 months to finish a boat, that was actually "new old stock" ? If the Hull, Liner & Deck were already done and sitting, all the manufacture time to create the boat is past history. Seems it shouldnt take 10 mths to rig and outfit the boat with this being the case.

But.......they did "can" and or seek new suppliers, and apparently let go key people or key people left for some reason. This probably accounts for some of the issues.

Unfortunately it seems Sonic has had way too may troubles over the years since the days of Jay Ross being in charge. I have loved all of mine ( Sonic Boats ), but does make you go HMMMMMMMM, on buying anything new with all these issues.

There still isnt even any new clothing or merchandise available, and they have a source ready to go ! But still nothing.

I have photos of the boat from august 2010 that show the hull and interior... yet they do not have it done...TF willl not accept my calls and his guy in Toms river told me to stop......wow... I am at my end...
I am surprised you paid that much up front... I have never ordered a new boat of any brand with more than $10k down. I ordered my $60k pontoon this spring with $5k down, and have ordered bigger stuff with even less out of pocket.

Get a lawyer involved and tell them to keep the boat and refund... This should be a sign of what service going forward will be like.

Wow, this just went from bad to worse. I don't envy being in your situation. I wouldn't want the boat anymore either.

Wow, i was kind of considering a sonic up until I just read this. You can tell them they just lost a potential customer for sure! Keep us updated and good luck!

sp123 - you should do some research on what boat you actually bought. The State Attorney's Office had (or has) a criminal investigation on the Frisini people for changing the HIN numbers on all the old Sonics to 2011 and then slapping Spectre stickers on them. It would be interesting to know what it is you did buy........
