My first thought was, "yeah riiiiight!" Anyway, I love the look of an all white boat & this Sonic has nice lines and amenities. I'm not in a position to pickup another v-hull right now as my mind is 85% leaning toward a twin outboard 30' cat. Time will tell.
Go get it, bigboat28!

By the specs, 8K lbs. right on the nose; full of fuel, and water. That's not including gear, tools, coolers, etc.
(7000 lbs. of boat, 840 lbs. of fuel, 160 lbs. of water.)
Can you upgrade your lift by 1000 lbs?
This hull was made with the infusion process (vacuum bagging), so its lighter than previous 31 Sonics, but its still realistically right on the above numbers. Sonics in general are heavy boats. My 1999 26' Sonic was listed as 5050 dry, but realistically it was closer to 5500 lbs. I had options like Corsa switchable exhaust, like this one; and this one has AC, which also boosts the weights above the basic specs.
The new infusion process/vacuum bagging (which began in 2003) brings them down to some more friendly weights. The new ones that Lenny and crew are putting out are built with all three pieces using the process which is even better.
