Just got off the phone with my boatin buddy from MI, he went and looked at that Sonic hull for me. Seems like the ad is "slightly" misleading and that hull has barely a lick of hardware on it. Few thru hulls and some cleats but even the louvers pictured are only on one side! No deck hatches, no cabin trim/doors/hatches etc Still a good hull to rig clean but alot of money in missing hardware on that one. The upholstery thats done is completely throw away.
Also looking at a few 38 hulls but not sure what they would be like with Bravos and low HP 454's untill motor upgrades could be done. How much HP can one put thru a TRS?
Not a lot of issues with the TRS's. I feel comfy at 700 or a little more on a heavy boat. I've had more trouble with the trannies, until I had Huber do 1450's, than I have on the TRS's on the 38 Scorpion. That has 630hp 540's.
