Default Not much action on the 37.....

With Eggbeaters.

But the e-mails and phone calls are overwhelming on the 33 with twin OBs.

Is this the ticket?

Positive input is totally appreciated!

Here is my positive input captain. You are a custom boat builder. Build the customer whatever they want. I just would not positively put one in the show.

I really hate to be the first here, I can't aford one But I think the 33 is the way to go and would be a better performer with the clamp-ons. And the 37 is an icon and should be left as is.... Just my worthless 2cts (edit)--- OH good Clark beat me

Well it seems to be working for Concept. Would this be a twin or tripple set up?

No. Especially on the 33 without the cabin liner.

When I am ready to upgrade to twins I would go with a 33 with twin or maybe triple outboards. But I am just dreaming for now. Ease of winterizing, fuel economy, noise restrictions getting tougher, and easier maintaince will lean me towards going back to outboards when the time comes.

Just thinking trips might be needed for a proper top end speed near the twin 525's???? or would the less weight equal it out??

concept are made just for outboard's , only one modle has a small stepp.
pat hit the nail on the head , by taking out some of the bow weight "liner" it should be just fine with the lighter weight motor's on the back

If it dont make good noise (LIKE A BIG BLOCK) it is not the same when in a performance boat. people like to SEE and HEAR a true performance boat like the active thunder.
