Naw, just use my conversion kit to convert your Sonic to fishboat/cruiser!

We stay on the boat for up to ten days at a time, cruise New Yawk to Natucket, Miami to Key West. the additional "ten feet" of boat from my products makes all the difference in the world.

I havent read any suggestions about a go fast with outboards. A 30 with a pair or triples is a compromise. You get the thrill of a go fast with some reliability of outboards.

Sonic used to make an SS30 with outboards, HUGE cockpit. I loved that boat, but hated the stink pot motors. Now with the new four stroke motors, it would be a sweet boat.

Oops, my bad. I thought for sure this was for you. You've been hinting around about maybe swapping rides. Thought for sure you were getting more serious.

I've been around. Spent a few days this week in Orlando. The rest is just work. I am ready to retire.

I think my post count is going backwards. I could swear I had like 332 posts last week.

Naw, you should know me better...I could care less and would never ask anyone should I get this style or that style of boat, car and so on. Oh yeah I've hinted around about swapping...I love my 38TE for sure...but I do miss the excotment and extra speed of a go fast...but you are most definitly correct about the CC. I'm just nits because sometimes I wish I just had a small 18-22' single outboard CC boat.
OK, I'm ready to retire too and get the hell off the road. Want to open up a fun small local biz together 1/2 and 1/2?

At the very least.

I saw this sweet looking Yellow Fin today on Us1 between I-95 and Bunnell.
