Never riden in one but have been around enough of them in person to see what I needed to see. Thats why maybe the ride and handling is so amazing thats what sells them.

I cant have an opinion?? I forgot to add in they were mostly the older ones and the newers ones I have seen, the 700 boat that George has, was much nicer and worthy to be in the same class as some of the top builders. Even tought our boat only goes 92 and the AT wasnt near us on the poker run were were both on but I believe they still had computer issues with the motors. Thats why I still dont know how the got the speed in the test report for PRA. I was there when they attempted to do it.

At 18 Clark had been in the gane for about 4-5 years and
He had good people teach him the techniques of high speed offshore from Hurley Stepp, Curt Harber, Uncle Pat and even Steve Wilson along with a natural athletic ability and rhythm.
Knew more about this stuff at 18 than I do at my old age.
long discussions with Harry Schoell, Steve Stepp and Pat and Bobby Saccenti(sp?) also Louis at Concept in the beginning days of that company has been a wealth of knowledge.
And he still comes back to the true mecca of offshore..Pompano Beach..well the factory is in an area that does look like a wrong neighborhood in some middle eastern country.

Same here just different names in the industry. Even though the mecca to me is in Opa Locka and Sarasota. No offense or anything. My buddy was interested in the 700 37 in NY but they told him to come out and take it for a ride and they had no props. Dont know if he's still interested but if he is I tell him to contact you factory guys to get better info and such.

So was i my friend He does seem to be very knowledgeable for his age But i have a problem when someone questions my nautical expieriance. 10 yrs. before he was born i was Captaining a 95' Scalloper on 14 day trips to Georges Bank. I've fished at the Canadian line commercially to Venezuela for pleasure. I also hold a 100 Ton Ocean Operators license with nav. limits from Mobile Bay to Cape Cod. I bought my first Fountain when he was 3 I've probally drank as much saltwater as he's ridden across. Time to move on
