Just want to let everyone know the situation with this boat and say Thanks to SP for his patience.
Upon him purchasing the boat, a trade and waiting on him to possibly sell his other boat was part of the deal. At the time of purchase there was no rush on the boat as he had other issues to settle and was given an incredible deal on a brand new boat.
As time went on, we had sold over 14 boats that were put into production and the 31 Sonic had been put off to the side as the customer did not want the boat until spring. By the time the new year came around and he was ready for his boat, I was unable to find an available spot in my production schedule and upon ordering the engines for his boat it was a 7 - 8 week wait on a pair of 8.2's from Mercury.
Between starting a new company, moving the facility across the state of florida, revamping & engineering two name brands of boats, and tooling up 3 new models, we have had a very busy year. Our production line is now in full swing and producing about 3 boats a month.
I completely understand your frustration but how could we have known last year that our sales would have been what they are today. I do appreciate your patience and look forward to meeting you some day soon.
Thanks,
John

Looking forward to some tests and numbers.
Is the new bottom available on a 45 in a tripple engine version ? If so does it have to be Mercury Power or can the Engines be outsourced and delivered to you to install and rig ?

I spoke to Carmine yesterday he said it was in the water and ran approx. 71 MPH... in fog and rough water and not being pushed .... just making sure everthing was OK.. He further indicated it will be delivered to me on Saturday. Just came from the marina to make arraignments to have it put in the water on Saturday. John would love to meet you if you ever make it to the Northeast let me know. also looking to break it in over the next two weeks as I will have it in Long Island for the Don Aronow Mem. Run. Billy Frenz is holding my spot. That will make my wait well worth it. SP

Yes we have designed a new step bottom in the 45 and have one currently layed up in the molds. Yes you can have Mercury Power or customer supplied power, " Your Choice". It is available in Triple or Staggered application.
