When you open OSO website the new news is Steve Stepp/Velocity is going to do this also.
They are calling them "crossover" boats.
The picture in the article is a nice looking boat.

"Sanford, Florida, August 1, 2007, Second to launch, in the line of Initial Marine Corporation's VELOCITY Sport Utility Boats (S.U.B.), is the new "Crossover" Series. Featuring Mercury as its chosen Performance Brand of Outboard engines, this "Ultimate Crossover" boat can be a fishing boat, a sport boat, a ski boat, a dive boat, a poker run boat or even a race boat."

Good idea. I didn't see where they called it an 'Offshore" boat, though.....

A sport deck with O/Bs running the ocean is what we have going on here.

I don' think they can catch up.

Hey now .... This is starting to get me excited again !?!??!?!

I think all of Steve's hulls except the smallest are "offshores"
A 39 with removable seats and benches for fishing and quick change to pop-in/pop-out for poker runs and nothing in the cockpit for diving trips or one's late night cruises off the Marquesas or Haiti. Side panels made of fiberglass for hosing down same as sole.
Like a Cayanne ..shopping..racing..offroad or picking up the soccer team...all at speed with reliable O.Bs
Again the 28 and a 37 would make great models.
If we could only have inter-changeable decks.

That's the one that started me leaning back to beaters for my next one when I upgrade to twins..........:D

Rather have a 33 with a bigger sunpad now that AT's have a possibility for beaters:circle: :party-smiley-020:

I agree with them!
a 33 would be great with tripple 300's
I have been thinking this for a while especially for us in New England we need to get use of our short season . drive & motor problems can really mess it up.
I was thinking of going to a center console because nobody is doing this yet, actually spoke with R sutphen last august on doing a sport deck 31 with 2 300's but things don't seem to work out, they will not take trades.
I say build them! the industry is heading this way, some people want NO HEADACES & I/O's

:signs069: :signs069: I would give up a little sound for usage!

Get some going before Reggie starts & takes all the credit!

I can tell you that Concept had their 1st sport deck with twin 300xs outboards at the Miami Show and people were all over that boat!!!

What is the boat in post #32, looks sharp to me! I think the Concept 30 Sport deck looks interesting also except they might want to consider putting a couple of hatches in the cabin for ventilation. Steve

Whats the latest on the O/B 37 ?
