My guess for a "standard" boat (I'm sure you can load these down with options!)
Under 30' $70-100k (single power) 30-35' $100-150k (twin power) Over 35' $150-who knows!!! (triple and up) |
Under 30' you can get away with a single
Over 30' you will want twins MSRP on a Verado 300 is around $24K plus rigging. MSRP on a 27 Concept single 300 Verado is around $50K, decked out around $65K. My 2007 Concept 32'6" w/twin 300XS decked out was around $190K MSRP on trailer. 34' Nor-Tech w/twin 300 Verado base retail price is $303K. Paint, trailer and options extra. 39' Nor-Tech w/trip 300 Verado Base retail price $395K. Paint, trailer and options extra. The Nor-Tech is a different boat than the Concept. Not in a bad way, just a total different style of boating. All in what one is looking for. Of course all of those numbers are MSRP so take it with a grain of salt but have to start some where. New 36' Concept with trip 300 Verados decked out can be had for around $150K in the real world. |
[QUOTE=marylandmark;3375691]I hope you don't feel as if I were taking a poke at you? Not by any means. I'm your biggest fan with all the coverage you have provided performance CC's lately! Keep up the good work!
Not at all, Mark. I think you were being funny and ironic, as in "The more things change ... " Later in this thread you provided some excellent pricing information. That's yet another key element in the trend we've been discussing. |

Maybe a better question is: Why? Why do people abandon their go-fast boats for center consoles?
About 5 years ago, I started looking into another boat, something bigger, that would brave the waves. I really liked the idea of the Advantage Party Cat - big stereo, carries a bunch of people, basically the party barge. Not all that fast, but a capable party platform, which is what I predominantly do in Havasu. But I also liked the idea of a cuddy cabin as I have dreams of cruising Lake Powell and camping overnight. Also, being a performance nut and OB guy, I was thinking that was a hard combo to come up with. I ended up with my 30' Scarab CC. 7' cuddy cabin, good amounts of room, added the stereo and has OB's. Of course I had to upgrade the motors, so on went the Monty Racing 4.0l V8 2-strokes. I'm into it a lot less than a new boat, and it runs decent, although I've tweaked on it quite a bit. Merc gearcases adapted to the OMC mids, jackplates, etc, etc. Lots of my own sweat in this one, and it's far from perfect, but works for me. If I had the dough to buy a new boat today, it would be a CC of some sort, preferrably something with more beam than my Scarab, and with twin 300xs's or maybe triples. :) It's just such a capable platform and does everything pretty well. Not the first to the sandbar, but hauls a lot more people, I don't have a worry fishing or SCUBA diving out of it, etc.

I'm guessing here but don't outboard owners tend to keep the engines/accesories etc. stock which promotes reliability ?

For me it came down to one simple thing.....I didnt need a cabin, the way I boat ( either blasting around or just hanging at the beach) the cabin become dead space, so basically decided to go for the open lay out , more user friendly
