Default trips

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.

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..

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
