Are congrats in order?
 
Saw a beautiful Concept at the secret test lake last night. I recognized this boat as one recently advertised for sale.
Does it have a new home by one of our own members? :eekdrop:

Thanks Gordo... yes it does have a new owner... and we love it. Makes me wonder why I took so long to join the Concept family! You'll have to meet us out at the Sandbar soon!

Nice ride, whats the power?

dirtlawyer 10-22-2012 04:25 PM

250 EFI for now. Would love to repower with a 300XS in the future.

Great motor, but thirsty. There are a few things you can do to get a bit more power out of the EFI.

I think pristine would be a better description. The thing looked showroom perfect!
Looking forward to seeing it out on the water :cool:

Nice ride!!

Was the silver in the graphic superimposed?

dirtlawyer 10-25-2012 04:04 PM

thanks Mark - no the silver tribal graphic was added by the last owner - and yes, its paint, not a decal. The guy really took good care of the boat - not much I have to do to it at all.

Where is the sandbar I keep reading about ?:evilb:

dirtlawyer 10-25-2012 04:16 PM

north of Anclotte - nice easy run out the Cottee River, past the stilt houses and then head west/southwest until you see boats on the horizon... Good times always. We will be out there next weekend.

Gordo 10-26-2012 08:55 AM

Had plans of being out myself, unless the weather changes my mind.

dirtlawyer 10-26-2012 10:27 AM

Gordo - we'll def be heading out there next Saturday and Sunday. Going to drop the boat in the water Sat AM and leave it at Steve's house overnight. Meet up at Steve's around 11? :evilb:

Superimposed I meant added the silver over top the blue- was the blue already there and then the silver added? Sorry for the confusion.

Honestly, if the blue was there and someone told me they were going to put silver on like that, I would that thought it would have turned out like crap. It looks FANTASTIC!!! Very sharp!!

thanks Mark - sorry for the misunderstanding - the painter did a great job - you definitely cannot tell that it was added later.

I had 250efi's on my Concept and beside how much oil they drink the fuel economy was about 1mpg for twins on a 36 Concept. I get about 1.3mpg from 3- 275 Verado's on the boat 3 feet wider, 4 feet longer and 4000lbs heavier.

So with that said I really want to sell my current boat and downsize back to twins and the maintanance on 4 strokes with oil changes and having the boat on a lift behind the house stinks. I kind of liked the easy of 2 stroke maintenance

Dirtlawyer...super clean looking boat! Enjoy!

dirtlawyer 12-02-2012 09:51 AM

Thanks Mike - I know we keep saying it but we need to get together soon! What are you thinking boat-wise?

I agree, Best bet would probably be Opti's all araound.
