Beautiful Boat Sir!

Here's my 30 that will be on the market soon.[ATTACH=CONFIG]547389[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]547390[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]547391[/ATTACH]

Nice boats guys. I'm hopefully going to have some pics of a 36' Concept PR with trip 300 Verados within the next month. She's a beaut. Hopefully everything goes well and I'll be the new owner.

is she for sale?

Is this boat for sale?

It's been pretty quiet around here.

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... :eekdrop:

2008 30 sd

Just because it could seat 10 doesn't mean you have to. For me, the cramped cockpit and under utilized cabin of a performance boat weren't working anymore. These boats still run some pretty respectable speeds too.

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.

What year Scarab did you buy? I am in the market for a 30'-36' CC with a forward cuddy. Just tossing around which brand, year, power combo, price etc....

The 30 is a great boat! The 36 is considerably larger.

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'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 45-50 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.

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?

Mine is a 1996 (I think) that came original with twin Merc 150's. WFO speed was right at 60mph.
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

Dave M. I love the sport arch on yours. I would rather have something like that than my T-top.

Ya, it's the best of both, you can have shade when you want it, or fold it up.

[QUOTE=Gordo;4508959]Dave M. I love the sport arch on yours. I would rather have something like that than my T

Gordo - I have the same thoughts sometimes, but the only downside with the arch is that it takes up prime seating room when at the sandbar - seems like someone is always sitting in the gunwale next to the console. Tradeoffs either way!

[QUOTE=dirtlawyer;4509178]We are at the point of doing up-grades to the Scarab, or look at other boats. We keep looking at a sport arch to replace the T-top, (as seen above), as well as other upgrades.
DirtLawyer, Your old Merc is still running strong, but considering a newer 4-stroke.

Mine's a 2017. Here's a few pics of the front, I don't have any of the cabin right now. The front seats have matching cushions too, but I usually leave them home when I know I'm not using them.

Concept does a pretty nice rigging job.

Beautiful boat man! That rigging does look exceptional! I was talking to Eric @ Concept and he offered me a tour of their facility. I might do that here soon. A new Concept, is just a little outta reach till I get the Shelby GT500 paid off...

Here is a pic of my 10 year old 23 with a 225 Opti.[ATTACH=CONFIG]562839[/ATTACH]

Let's see some pics! The count down to boating season has begun!

We are in the process of closing the deal on this one this week! 2019 36 with cuddy and 400R's. New home will be Lake Lanier GA

Good grief, thank goodness an all white boat still exists. Sooooo tired of go-fast paint jobs.
