1 - how fast will it run with 500 efi's ? (its a 2000) im guesing 65 mph

2 - how is the bathroom ? can you stand up in the bathroom (im 5'11" and a half) can you take a shower in it ?

my 45 wellcraft excalibur got totaled in hurricane sandy , I figured I would replce it with something trailerable so I can leave it at a high and dry in florida for winter . I started looking at formula 382 fastechs and a donzi 38 zr but the bathrooms suck , I wanna be able to take a shower on the boat


thanks in advance for any feedback

A buddy has one, don't think they ever took a shower on the boat but it could probably be done. He built 540's and still didn't see 70 except maybe once ona perfect day. 500's might hit 65 but not on a regular bases.

Yes you can shower, if you have the hot water heater. I have driven one, 65 MPH is not out of the question with 500HP's.

How about a like new 2002 358 that'll do 80?

The cabin will be way too tight

Cabin is the same as a 386. It is smaller than a 42, but not tremendously.

I take showers in mine all the time. I love overnighting. I am 6' and my wife is the same. The cabin in the Sonic was the main reason we bought the boat.

Sorry , when I said the cabin would be too small I thought he ws talking about a 35 formula fastech when he mentioned the 358 . For some reason I thought a 358 was a formula fastech. . I am till trying to familiarize myself with all of the performance boats. So far I looked at a bunch of boats where the cabin was less then I was looking for. I need to look at some sonics cause I am not familiar with them

Can you stand up in the bathroom of a 42 sonic ?

How tall are you? I'm 6'3" and manage in a 31Sonic cabin.
