I would have to say no, not at all. I have owned two Sonic's so far, sold the second yesterday and I am going to prob upgrade to another. I went on many Poker Runs in some pretty rough cond. and never had any probs.
Only maintenance I ever did was the regular cleaning, waxing, and empty the crap tank.
I did have to change a trim tab motor once but that wasnt Sonic's fault.
Hope this helps

When we are in Ft. Lauderdale we charter a guy who has a 38' Sonic. He puts hundreds of hours on this thing and he knows only WOT or idle. He's really hard on it! And it's still in one piece. I figure if he can beat the hell out of that thing like he does, my kind of boating would be a cake walk for a sonic. For this reason and the cabin layout, plus the great ride, we are seriously considering the 358. Going for a demo ride next weekend... Can't wait!!!

No more so than any other boat, and I would say that the majority of Sonics are less work than others.

John - you will love Tome's - I think there were only 7 spots left last week when I brought the Cigarette down. My boat is in the second building on the second shelf. Talk to Wes - nice guy.
How was the boat show?
