Look at Concept what they've achieved w/ graphics , nice gauges and quality interiors , etc.

Yep ...... now , if only "someone" had such a boat , that they could have a deck mold made for ..... man , that would really be somethin ...... Ohhhh well .................. :evilb:

I think this needs to be a new catagory, not CC fishing boats. I have as much desire to to catch a fish as I do to chase down a cow. I want a narrow beam outboard hotrod with room for 8, a big boat ride and a go fast look, and I can't belive I'm that much of a minority.

What would you rather have in a 38' boat?
38 Center Console 53 49.07%
38 Go Fast 55 50.93%

Yet there are 200 "performance closed deck" models for every "performance CC" model..

I wonder how many people who voted for a CC would actually buy one? I bet most already own a closed deck.

I just think the market isn't that big for that specific kind of boat. Don't you think Fountain or someone hasnt' already thought about it, or done market surveys on it?

Concept isn't the only one out there, Renegade for instance.

But hey, I can probably show you how to make a small fortune building go fast CC's. I'm sure you know the rest. (start with a large fortune)

I get my fish at Club Mary's (Cheetah's):evilb:

So my 73mph fish boat would not be considered "performance"? Or are we just going for bling bling here?

Yeah but I bet you get much better fuel mileage...I'm all about fuel mileage these days!

I hope to sell my 38te Fountain soon!
