Carrera Power boats.
#31
My 12,000 lbs 38 Fountain with trip 275's will do 69-70 with 400+ gallons of fuel and loaded up on bone stock props. Guy at the marina is getting 73-74 on labbed props.
Mike did the test say what the fuel mileage was at different rpm's?

(keep in mind this boat is 1'2" wider and almost 3 feet longer than the Concept)

Miss print maybe? I would think it would do more.

Driven1 have you looked at Glasstream boats? They look nice but I have not checked one out in person but I am very very curious about this brand.

You and the family are always welcome to go out with us. If you really miss boating you can even drive! How about next weekend we all go out maybe down to Eggmont Key and anchor off the beach or hit a local resturant? Have you ever been up the Manatee River to Mango's at Riviera Dunes? We love that place and it has awesome docking. Lisa an I also want to take a trip up to Clearwater to Frenchy's...Lots of options...Let us know!

So the Glasstream had fit and finish issues or was the lay out not good? I've never been on one.

Heather is going to Atlanta on Sunday, maybe the following weekend. I look at my empty lift everyday and wonder what will go there next. As soon as I sell the house I will probably order a new boat then. Mike

The fit and finish was not up to par, even more so when you consider that was the boat they brought to the show.

Hello,
This is correct (referring to last entry regarding Carrera), I'm a broker in Fort Lauderdale and I've sold several Carrera CC's. The most popular is the 32 foot typically powered by twin 250 Merc's. They are actually located in the area of Homestead, Florida and they have a very small shop (only 4 boats at a time) so all Carrera CC are custom built to order. They are building up a reputation but for now have a narrow customer base, mostly out of the miami area and most are attracted to the heavy graphics. They are a deep-V construction and have a extra thick hull. I was on a sea trial not to long ago and was quite impressed.
Hope this helps, and of course if anyone is interested in buying one let me know.
Have a good day!
