HiPerf2000,
How do u like your Sonic? What kind of speed are u seeing? Do u have 502s? I've heard nothing but great things from the two Sonic owners I've talked to. They sound like awesome boats. I'd like to stay in the $60-75K range. Don't know if I could pick up a 1997 or newer 35 for that.

Although I love our Formula, an Active Thunder is our next boat. Several buddies have 37's and I'm just waiting until I can afford one. I haven't been in the 32's but understand they are hard to beat also. If possible you need to check them out too.

I'm not real familiar with AT, I do think they look great and hear they are excellent. They sound very pricey. What specifically do u like about the AT that sways u away from Formula? It's a small thing, but I tend to like an integrated swim platform. I notice a lot of the heavy hitters use railing platforms (cigarette, scarab, AT, etc).

I have been in the 37's...not the 32's. They are a true 37 footer without the bolt on platform making them a little longer than the 382. The cabin layout seems much more open and larger. Personally I like the lines of the boat alot. I've run beside a few in the rough and they cut the waves extremely well (maybe better than a Cig!
) while achieving great speed per HP. I have video of one wide open in 4 footers in the bay and the way it stays level looks wild compared to the other boats on the same video. Stock 500's puts the boat at about 80 mph. Like anything else it's a personal preference issue but I think you really need to get on one before you make a desicion.

Bare with me,
one more question. I'm 6'2", will I be able to sleep on the front bed (with girlfriend) of a Formula 336, AT 32, or Sonic 35? If I remember correctly I think the Sonic bed was fairly long but I have no idea what the length of the Formula or AT beds are?

Here is a pic of the cabin in mine.
