Thanks PE,
I'm STILL waiting on a call from Sonic.( I know it's busy down there,but please Linda if you're still lurking around the site have someone give me a call THANK YOU!!! I'll be away until Monday the 22nd, after that call me 6am-10pm 860-883-6896.)
I would like to get someones opinion on what went wrong before anyone touches the boat again.
I belive, as most people who have seen the pics or who've heard the story ,that the damage was caused by a repair that was done improperly last winter.
I'll let you know if I'm going to take you up on that offer, as soon as I get some info from the factory.
Thanks to those who have responded on line and telephoned me on this issue.

I used to work in the performance marine industry, nobody ever returned phone calls (except me ). Keep calling them.

That boat is a three piece assembly. Looks like both the cabin liner and topdeck have been buggered. Hate to say it but that deck lid might need to come off to effect the right repair. Try Bruce at the factory he's a good guy.

Gee thanks Dano, now I'm sinking in to an even greater depression
The deck does not have any cracks in it, just the liner and the bulkhead. The windshield crack seems to have come from the flex created when the cabin liner moved back and up instead of flexing normaly, if it were not connected to the bulkhead.(I hope)
I'll leave a message for Bruce on voice mail this weekend, MAYBE he will return the call.
This is getting very frustrating, call after call, e-mail after e-mail.....as much as I love my Sonic I'm about ready to say F-Sonic ! I guess you've got to spend 300K to be heard.

Pending on your location in CT (I'm from South Windsor originally) a close friend of mine speciallizes in fiberglass and refurbishing. He has had a few performance boats come through his shop. Call him. Tom at Boat Works, South Windsor, CT on Sullivan Ave, 3 miles off of Rte 5. He does a lot of repairs for a number of marinas. He won't BS you and his work is garanteed.

Update- Found an honest glass guy, who ironically does work for the yard that screwed up the first time, (wish they called him first). He is going to undo what was done, and repair the stress cracks around the dash with carbon fiber, after hunting around he found some of the tabbing had come loose on a stringer, and he is going to repair that as well. I stripped the interior and dash , glass work should begin next week, in the mean time I'm having the drives gone through (resealed, gears and shafts checked) and repainted. Engines are ready to go back in......and I'm going nuts!!! I can hear the boats on the river all weekend while I pace back and forth in my back yard.
