Yes, I have been out a couple of times and have been very please since. The throttle was very lose at the helm and adding to the handling problem as well. I have since adjusted the throttle and have been using the K-planes for needed conditions. Thanks to everyone for the input.

Presently, I am still trying to prop the boat. Adding stereo, gas, water, and passengers have given me a sure reality check on my top end speed. With perfect (fantasy) conditions the boat ran 76, but now I’m just hoping to see a solid 72.

Two Thumbs up for Sonic…no complaints on the boat or service. Fred has been great on taking care of me with any issues.

What power are you running?

500EFI with ITS

I am in the market for a 1999 26' sonic. It has a 502/415hp in it. I am wondering what type of performance I could expect from this boat. I currently own a 24' baja that will run in the the high 70s to low 80s. I know this sonic will not perform like this on top end especially with a stock engine. But, I can't find any performance specs anywhere for this boat. I don't want to pay 45,000.00 for a 55mph boat. Any info would be an awesome help. Thanks........

baja226sport the boat will run mid to upper sixties with that engine . I have a 1998 with 502efi and some added engine access. and see on gps 68-70mph . It rides and handles like a much larger boat . any quest. e-mail me.

do you have a 24 p 4 blade on the boat. The 500 ITS boat we sold up here likes a little tab. Keep playing with it. Once you find the sweet spots the boat is probably one of the most fun single engine boats I have ever driven. We took it to the keys in 3-4 footers and had a blast. Also we recently labbed the prop and it made a huge difference. It rode better in flat and rough water, the turning speeds were a lot faster with less bounce and came out of the hole and accelerated alot harder. Made a huge difference. The boat has AC, power inverter ,3 batterys refrigerator,and flush head and ran 70.8 on Gps. After we labbed it it went 72.9.

Baja 266 sport. The 26 Sonics I have ran on with 496 hos would run 62 -65 on the gps.On the dash guage would show 70-74. I hope this helps
