So my 290 Powerquest burnt down in a building fire this winter were i was storing it and now just starting to look for what i want next for a new to me boat, i like many brands like Formula, AT, but realy like the Sonic's for overall versility, seems like a great overall powerboat with amenities kind of like the Powerquest brand was, but have never been on one or realy seen one up close and would kind of like to, so any Sonic owners in West Michigan? Seems like most are east cost or Florida. Also i do all my boating on lake Michigan, how do they handle the big waves?

thanks

They handle great.. I own an 03' 31ss with worked over 575's. The boat reacts like a 36' with all the goodies (air, heat, microwave, refer, lcd tv, dvd, ect.)... and is a 93+ mph boat.

Sorry to hear about your boat. We are on the other side of the lake and purchased a 1995 31SS last September. Like you, we wanted something which offered some comfort (was looking at the other brands you mentioned too) as well as be able to be out on Lake Michigan in 3-5' waves without taking a pounding. Got one trip up to Milwaukee in last fall, and it handled the 3' waves just fine on the way back home. This is our first twin engine boat and it really made me feel comfortable in those conditions. Once I am past the learning curve in this boat we plan to look for a newer one with modern power and amenities.

If you happen to find yourself on the other side of the lake, would be happy to let you poke around the boat. Its in drystack @ Northpoint in Winthrop Harbor, IL.

Good luck with your search.

I'm in bay city, have a 35ss. If interested.

thanks for your replies, i think Sonic seems like great boats there just are not many around it seems compared to other brands so i am still looking!

John, what year is your 35ss?

Kevin

I believe it is a 97. I pass by this beautiful boat every day on my way to work.

There were a couple of 31 Sonic's for sale with 500efi's and one with 496's. I looked at the 31 before I bought my 28 AT but they were a little out of my price range.

Yes correct 97, 502 mpi mag motors. And yes it's for sale. Pm if interested.

Fischan, thank you for compliment.

Stop by some day if its in the drive way and check out the new dashes.

Thanks! I'll stop if i see you outside sometime. When will the first ride of the season be?

Until last year, I kept my boats on Lake Ontario. I have had a 31 sonic and a 38. I would put them up against most anything in rough water. Great cabins for overnighting. When the water is big, 5'+, Sonics are fast.
