I love my Proline CC and have had a ton of fun on it, may even do Tickfaw on it this year. I am looking to replace my Scarab with another CC. Have a 1 yr old and want something I can load up and go and not spend allday cleaning.

How do you like it? Been looking at these to replace my mini go fast.

Yeah -if you want to do more than cruise or go fast, center consoles are nice. But if my son and I want to drop a fishing pole over the side of my '87 Formula 242, there's really nothing stopping us. It's in great shape, but it's an older boat, and it's not that big a deal.

Besides, it's not like I actually need a spot board to clean or store fish. Hell,I never catch anything anyway! :D :D :D

I turned the key and mothers covered the eyes of their children as I wept because I could hear the cooling stream over the engine. ONE day and it was GONE.

But theres a thread about that ;)

YA BUT YOU STILL HAVE FUN ON MY CENTER CONSOLE :drink:

I had one of those. Pretty good ride for its size. Put a huge subwoofer under the passenger seat. But could never get more than 35 mph with the 350 Mag.

Not sure yet, would be nice to have 2 boats.

There are many more comfortable boats around for people that don't fish much, like myself. I believe that the real allure and popularity with the center consoles lies with their outboard power. My boat has snap in carpet, and once pulled out, has a sealed cockpit. Not quite as neat and sprayable as a CC, but not bad.

After reading the many comments here, I'd now have to agree that Matt was spot on in his article.
