so far these are the boats I looked at

35 fountain - hated it , cabin was a coffin

38 formula fastech -much better but still too tight

37 active thunder - too tight

42 fountain lightning -too tight

38 donzi zx - the best one so far but the bathroom was still too tight

im curious as to the headroom in the bathroom on a 42 sonic

I think you must mean donzi 38 zX not the zr?

The sonic cabin trumps them all. The 358/ 386 cabin is surprisingly amazing once you enter. The 42/45 cabin seems endless.

The 37 outerlimits also has a nice cabin, and will perform better speed wise.

Why not the 43 black thunder? My friend purchased this late summer http://m.yachtworld.com/mobile/listi...oat_id=2253728 you won't find a bigger cabin, 6ft head clearance. Want 7 ft of head clearance? Go with the black thunder 43 sc.

I love the 460 blackthunder but its more then I was looking to spend

I also like the 45 sonic alot but im on the fence about having 3 engines

I really think I need to go look at a 42 sonic

Look hard at the 38's also. If I had to do it all over again I think I would probably have one, with a generator. The three engines are not terrible in my opinion. Towing that big pig around is. I have three Eddie Young engines in mine they dynoed at 600HP. the boat runs real strong. I am not trying to win any speed contest. The boat should be at about 90 with the right props (yet to be purchased). Remember Sonic's moto'' Luxury performance''. Not the fastest boat in the water. I am 5' 11'' 235 I have plenty of room in this boat.

Going by pictures I see online I really like the 38's that have that wrap around back seat .

45SS 01-13-2013 03:13 PM

People seem to either love or hate the wrap arounds, mine wraps only to one side. It does however make for good storage space and a place to install extra speakers.

If you want to take a look at the 358 I have one sitting in my barn that's very accessible. You're not that far away and as mentioned above its the same cabin as the 38. I've also gto a 46 Black Thunder here too if you want to see that.
