Go with triple two strokes for sure, not four strokes. Verados weigh to much for the length and weight of the 36. It ends up being about a 500lb difference.

I owned his first 33/36 Concept, I bought it from him it was behind his house in Hollywood/ Lauderdale area..... He had a 36 with twin Merc's at his house in Virginia and then he built that one with trip Hondas.

Was thinking about twin 350 sci vs the tripple 300xs.

MOTION35 01-07-2009 03:31 AM

I would not go with tripple xs I was so unhappy i went back to my old motors and was happy again... triplle 250 efi.
The 350'S are heavy .
My brothers has 08 concept twin 300 v 67 gps.

the 300xs aren't what they claim to be. ilost speed compare to my 250's...

just my opinion.. tripple the headache and hard to prop..:party-smiley-004::party-smiley-004::party-smiley-004:

Got any numbers you care to share? Not calling your card by any means; interested in your situation and how you came your decision to revert back to original power.

My 04 30 w/225EFI's is no where near the boat my 07 326 w/300XS's is and cost about 1/3-1/2 as much to run

Honda's were 225HP 4 strokes- not the "kind" of power a Concept hull is for IMHO.

Last forever on a "other than a performance CC" CC or a true "fishing boat".

Not enough "umph" if that makes sense
