2004 31 Sonic's
 

OK, I am going up to MD on 6 Sept to price a new 33 Donzi, my 3rd Donzi (not that I am ate up with them!), they have two 31 Sonic 496HO boats there, we plan to crawl around them and check them out.
I have read every thread in this forum.
We are also considering a new 32 Sunsation Dominator T500 boat.

I am looking for factual ride and speed data on these new 31 Sonics, we are bay/ocean boaters.

What type of speeds are achieved consistantly from a
T HP 500's?
T 496 HO's?

Just curious.

BT,
Others will chime in here, but I will give you what I know off the cuff.
496HOs 78-80
500s 82-85ish?

Go with 525s. Rocketship reliable warrantied power, closer to 90 I bet.

525's cost more than I can spend.
Thanks for the data.

Are we having another winter OSO party in Richmond?
Bryan

You bet!!!!

Hey Bryan, New member Sonic31ss has a brand new boat, leftover 02' w/496's. He has spent the last few weekend dialing props and I believe he is seeing right around 80mph. Give him a PM for more info., he's a great guy.

call or PM Dano......

Offshore Performance usually has a demo day weekend in early October next to Red Eyes dock bar..... We attended last year. They are a great group of people, very helpful!!! Hugh is the sales guy we have been in touch with....

Ok trying to find the folks you have mentioned on here to look for data.
I was hoping for more data on the ride of a Sonic 31.

One dealer told me 77 with T496HO's, not to shabby, not sure I can spend another 20K on 500's for another 5 mph.

I plan to check them out real soon...

Hey Bryan,

Sonya and I, love ours. Good Luck.

PSSSSSSSSSST: You haven't told those Donzi guys have you.

David and Sonya::D

David your too funny...
No, a few there know I am seriously shopping.
My boat is mint and will go fast, I plan to list it tomorrow for $$ 61K on a new 10,000lb HD Load Rite trailer, al mags and matching spare, and we spent $ 5K over the winter on this boat, a sweet 2001 26ZX. It will be gone on the 6th if find what I want to buy, I will suck up a few $K just so it is gone, by trading it... no brokering BS for me.

I have followed all your threads since you got your new boat, is she running strong now?
