AT,

How would you solve the balance issue on an outboard 37 vs. a I/O 37?

No, to the OB's, Show Boat = Staggered 850's ,NXT1 Drives, 5-Blade Cleavers, diamond plated engine compartment, with the mirror's, roomier cockpit, for optional row of bolsters, 6' head and galley area. Always been a fan of the American Flag look, bet AT can do it better than the beakers can. Is that dirty enough for ya MM? Now to just pick the right 6-#'s for tonights lottery.

Nope, no V bottom Active Thunder with outboards. Bring back the 32' Active Cat with triple 300 XS's and you'll have a cool outboard boat!!

I would love a 33 with o/b.Just have to get a killer sound system to blast the sound of a big block though. Some day I want to go back to outboards. Been eyeing the 30 closed deck model of a cc.
still enjoying my "little" 25 for now.

The fuel tanks get moved farther back and enlarged; as well as two additional in the gunwales.

We are talking about three rows of electric bolster seating, for a school bus seating arrangement for the ultimate Poker Run experience.


I could see a potential market. NOMOGOFST'S channel is only 2' feet deep at times to his waterfront home in Hudson. He moved to a CC/OB boat so he could go in and out at anytime.

Hey Brian,

You got it! Went from 32" draft to 24", 14" on plane,and the boat will actually idle forever w/o coughing and choking. Rather safe than sorry. Sacrifice speed for $$$$$.

Ask Docman about the idle out of the channel (45 mins.)

Thumbs up

How about taking the 25 mold and modify it for an O/B . Hang a bracket off the back and a single 300 Verado or Opti. Your probably not going to use thodse molds anymore anyway. I think the market exists for a large single O/B closed deck and you could call it a 25' or a 27'.
