Whats the top speed on a 2002 386 with 500EFI's?
And on a 2003 386 with 525EFI's?
Thanks!

I saw 80 on a 2003 with 525s. Mechanic at OP saw 82 with bigger water.

76-77 on an 02 with 500's they are a few more pounds than the 03 and 50 or so less hp.

As an FYI, I was told that Full Tilt Marine a few years back, had a 386 with Merc 900's on 6's that supposedly went 103-106.

What about an older 42 with 500's? Thats what I want next!

Dyno I have a 2000 42 with 500 efi's 75 GPS in 2 foot chop, When do you want to buy.

Team Sonic Full Tilt had one going 106 I saw it first hand.

It will be a while.....the 31 is great yet only one kid.....after one more and they get a little older I'll need the room! I do know someone thats looking though you selling ? pics we need pics!

Sydwayz

TS42, you are correct. It was the owners boat. When they stopped selling Sonic, they pulled the 900s & VIs, and stuck 500s in there.

They put the 900s and VIs in a big Baja. The one at the end of the row; closest to Maggies(?) near Red Eyes. I hear it hardly gets on plane.

Sydwayz,

We almost bought that 386 with new motors and drives. The owner wanted a deposit of 10 grand before I even saw the boat, and then they claimed they never agreed to include the trailer with the price, I would of found that out when I got there and tried to haul the boat home on the roof of my suburban.

Did you know of anything wrong with that boat because it seemed as though it was on the market for long time?

Sydwayz

Yeah, it had the living piss ran out of it.

I bet it is a nice boat for someone. As Too Old said; "There is an ass for every seat."

Good thing it was a Sonic and could handle it. Can you imagine a Baja with 'former' 900s? That was not a pretty deal when Full Tilt lost the Sonic dealership. Lots of stickyness, and everyone on the east coast new about it. '43Thunder' knows a lot about that boat too.
