Virtually every newer CC design will be self bailing, as the manufactures are finding easier to get the more sophisticated tooling to mold proper inner-liners, deck hatches and drip rails. It also makes for easier and faster construction when it's done right.
The performance levels of CC style boats are improving every model year. It's absolutely realistic to expect your 35'-38' modern outboard CC to have equal or even better cruising speeds compared to alot of boats that we see in poker runs.

Re: For those of you that have switched from an Offshore to...
The cons of a performance CC is much much much and I can;t say much enough less maintanance with the over all boat and the engines. Also shallow water is no problem even in my 38TE Fountain I can get through 2 feet of water at idle no problem. Also my gas mileage with the new modern outboards is better too. I have a 425 gallon gas tank and can cruise at 50mph for many many miles.
Do the Concepts have a forward cuddy?

Out of the 9 boats I've owned, by far the best.

Re: For those of you that have switched from an Offshore to...
This thread got me poking through the classifieds to see whats out there. I bet an unrigged 33 powerplay sportfish would make an awesome boat. put a pair of 300x's or 300hp yamaha hpdi's, and have an offshore shop build some secure passenger seating into it. I wonder what it would run with 300's?
