In the market for a 36 with trips
I'm in the market for a 36 Concept with trips (250-300s). Anybody know of any aside from the ones listed on the big sites (boattrader, here, etc)? Also considering similar boats like the 32 Renegade and the 33 and 36 Avanti.

I don't but can tell you the one that was at Legendary Marine is a complete bust (the one with black/silver graphic). Owner/seller is a absolute moron who cannot be very interested in selling... I spent a month dealing with the idiot and the broker and we could not get the seller to do what was needed to move the boat (had large deposit and was ready to go on my end). I would avoid that one/seller because there has to be something more going on... Caveat Emptor
Ultimately I also want to find a 36 with t-top and twin 300's or possibly trips but need to drive one with trips to see how they do with proposing (a known issue with a rear biased CG). Also interested in the Renegade...

I, too, have heard the 36 with trips is some what ill handling. I would imagine a triple 300 xs boat will handle better than one with triple Verados (weight). However I have no seat time in one. I have an older 30 (non-step) and they are known to porpoise as well. mine only seems to porpoise at low speeds, under 37 MPH. I spin my props in which eliminate a lot of the porpoise... When making the jump to a 36' I plan to look for one with twin 300 xs Optis. Good luch in your search.

Thanks. I had a 30 with 250 EFI's. I raised the engines to the top hole and it resulted in a little porpoise, but the boat was a good bit faster. I ended up putting K-planes on it and could eliminate the porpoise with just a little tab. The boat ran a best of 72 on GPS. I enjoyed the 30, just looking for something a little bigger.
