The Carrera hulls also have a great history in offshore racing back
when racing was geared more towards offshore wave crushing.
Great hull to have under you in a sportfisher.

The Picons sold Carrera to the current owners along with most of the famous molds except for the 24 which had already been sold. The new owners post on here so they can be more specific.

The Concept 326 hull looks very similar to the original 32 ft Hustler hull. Hustler was one of first deep v's(no notches, steps or pads) to go around 100 plus with 600 or 700 hp with Arneson surface drives. (non raceboat with a full cab) That was the hot setup for that particular hull. I think it was a rocker bottom hull, I could be wrong. This type of hull works well with surface drives.

Does the head on the 326 have a retractable curtain ? It makes sense that its in the nose of the boat rather than under the console. The boat has better balance, especially when your launching off waves. I wonder if that was Concepts intention.

Does the curtain roll up and snap to the lid when stored?

It might handle better with some weight on the nose. Especially when launching off waves.
