It seems the performance boats are dead, So
The wife and I keep kicking around the idea of something newer. We've always loved the Concept, especially after seeing Dirt lawyer's ride.
Then we go back to the open-bow runabout idea.
Then the open-bow performance idea,
Then back to a CC that seats 10.
We're so damned lost...

True. 50% of the time it's the wife and me. Sometimes another couple. Then those weekends when we have the "Friends & Family" cruise.
We bought the Scarab Sport CC to see if we liked it. It works, but the wife still likes the seating (and windshield) of an open bow runabout.
I guess it's impossible to please everyone.

The guy at Concept said that the new 2017's lost the bracket and went to an integrated bracket (all part of the hull mold) so that makes the boats true to size now.
They have a 32' there. But, no cuddy. You can only get the cuddy in a 30 or 36, not the 32.
How does your 30 perform with the 300's? fuel, mph etc....

I've seen 72 MPH, get around 2 MPG at 45-50 MPH, great mid range, excelerates hard. It's Ok in rough water. It couldn't hang with the 30' Superboat I had, but that's not really it's purpose either.

[QUOTE=Dave M;4508189]I'm not sure if the integrated bracket actually adds to the running length or not, kinda like and intergrated swim platform. I will say that the Concepts are short on headroom in the cabins. I don't really use my cabin much so it wasn't a concern. The larger console with the head built in is nice. But, I like the look and security of the cabin.
I've seen 72 MPH, get around 2 MPG at 45
That's pretty impressive! That is what I am looking for. What year is your boat? Any pics of the forward seating area, cabin and head?

I have since replaced them with a newer single Mercury Bluewater 250, with a top end of approx 52mph.
It was fun with the twins, but since we cruise at around 40mph anyway, it works fine for us.
Average fuel for us is about 1.1 mpg with the single
