Why don't you step up and get the biggest, cleanest well taken car of, most fuel efficient, fastest, best lay out and well built boating in this size range?

Just in case you didnt know (like me) the Verado and the Optimax XS get 30 gal. per hour the Suzuki does 25 per hour. I took my boat to get its first service at Seahunter...great boat by the way carbon/kevlar hull...and their mechanic mentioned it when i picked it up.

I was'nt aware of that. Is it the 250 Opti and Verado or 300 Opti and Verado ? Am I understanding correctly, Opti's and Verado's burn 30 gal/hr and 25 for Suzy? Yamaha and Suzuki have put a lot of R and D into combustion chamber shape, compression, bore/stroke, cam profile and valve timing etc..... They don't need to be supercharged.

My wife and I are driving to Key West from Miami the third week in Oct. When we drive back we will have a day to kill, I am going to check out the Concept factory. Any suggestions on a nice place to stay for a night in South Beach area ?

They usually have a large selection of Jupiter and Deep Impact,. IMO a much better built boat .

I think Jupiters and Deep Impacts are awesome boats, however I would not say there were much better built boats.
I would say that they are for a different target market than a Concept and have many more amenities and creature comforts (for a much larger price as well) but for what Concept makes they make it very, very well IMHO.
Would I stop by and look at them- heck ya!!!!!!

I guess it all depends on what you expect out of the boat and it's constuction. And yes Concept do cost much less , what type of amenities are you talking about?
