36 concept
 
I guess the saying is true about there is never bad press. I just went to the concept website. I really like the 36 and was wondering the performance and handeling. Not that I'm n the market for a CC but these boats with todays economy make more and more sense.

BRD 04-17-2008 08:26 PM

You can run mine around a little in a month or so JB . They work pretty well ..... Especially with the few special "Deitz" touches that we incorporated into them !!!

Fast Forward 04-17-2008 08:37 PM

I looked at them at the Chicago show a couple years and the 36 is one beautiful ride! I myself am leaning towards a CC.

The Wharf Marina located in Grand Haven is your Concept dealer. C J Fischer, or Steve Nykamp, can assist you..
They are OSO members.

There's a list of "custom touches" ... things we added , and took away from their normal boats to make them more suited for doing what we do .... for instance ... no hatches , no arch , ect ...

Has been extended into June I believe. Check with your local dealer.

No plastic doors that rattle ,,,, a wind screen that works,,, and the age old thought /build process that say's " If it don't make it faster , don't put it on the boat !!!"

I like the 36, I just wish they could change the seating angle so the driver could put their feet on an angle and not have to drive standing up straight and adjust the stearing to come straight at you more. The donzi has a nice angle on their console.

If it makes you more comfortable, then we will make that angle for you. I like it too. :D

Great!

I have to run over to his yard today and drop off some CMI's that he let me test out but I couldn't use... Unfortunately they leaked, which is not surprising, and I decided to buy new... :)

If I see him I'll ask him "hows it goin"..

:p I thought it was a compliment to a brilliant man ... or Mayor :D

BraceYourself 04-18-2008 09:00 AM

Who says on the great lakes we can't have year round boating. The way I see it I already bubble my liift so a nicely covered outboard would be quite nice on those occasional days it could be used :)

outdrive man 04-18-2008 09:06 AM

There Should Be Some Concepts On Display In Port Clinton Shortly Once We Get Our Front Building Unpacked.

How do we get her in there !?!??!!?

C M R 04-18-2008 10:09 AM

Jeremy- Although I’ve yet to be out on a Concept last year at the Miami show we climbed all over the Concepts. Spent a good couple hours going over them.

I'd personally look at getting a used 24' for Lanier and then be able to trailer it around to all the smaller lakes in Michigan/Ohio

Leo is this your Concept? Took this pic last summer.

there`s a couple of different ways i can think of. one pay the 350 for the show dock or two rent a transient and put signs all over it.

Besides all the concept drama with their rep (or whoever it is), I've always really liked them. They are def. one of the nicest looking CC's on the market. My question is, how bad is it that they are not "self bailing"??

Thanks 38 ! Thats a great pic of the boat at her favorite destination ! We do that trip as often as we can .... 70+ miles each way over open water .... get there by noon for one of Michelles' famous bloody's .... and back home right at dusk for last call at Kramers fire pit !!! C'mon summer !!!

wananewboat 04-19-2008 09:34 AM

BRD, What do you get for speed with that setup? Is that Wicked Two next to you? He looks like he has the same power. You guys don't like the look of the arch on the 36s.

Wanna ,,, gets a little better then 70 tops in the real world . The no arch thing gives it more of a "sportboat" look and feel ... and theres one lees thing to rattle ect .... BTW , yes , thats the old WW2 . :cool-smiley-011:

FeverMike 04-21-2008 01:28 PM

The 36 Concept boats look great with out the arch...plus less aero-drag should gain a few MPH

For the performance boater that keep the boat on a trailer inside the boat not being self bailing is not an issue other than resale. the issue with it no being self bailing is if you keep it outside on a lift or do some offshore fishing.

If it rains or if you wash the fish blood off the deck or take some water over the bow, from the transome and so forth everything is draining to the bildge and that is a safety issue. Fish scales and guts will mess up a bildge pump too. My boat even covered sat on the lift and when it rained the water drained to the bildge and the battery died trying to pump it out all day.

DENNYB 04-21-2008 01:56 PM

Most of the boaters who own Concepts are meticulois who live and die cleaning and waxing their Concept constantly.
I am also one of those too.A full Mooring cover is highly recomended to keep the cockpit clean and when it rains it keeps a majority of the water out of the boat while on a lift.
It is well worth having one besides just the Console helm & seat covers only. The Concepts is more of a go-fast center console than a fishing boat because it is the way the Concept boat presents itself.Now you can custom option it out in the way you'd like with live wells & dive holding tanks etc. It all comes down to the customers preferences.

Ahhhh, makes sense....So to me (not a fisher) who likes the style of the boat and the multi use it wouldn't be a big deal:D
