Indy, I'm not sure how rough LI sound gets but I dont think a Concept 27 will cut it, I have a 30 and I would rate it OK in rough water, not great, very light boats so it tends to ride on top the waves not through them. I was out today with 5 adults and 3 kids, swimming, hanging out and tubing, could not have done that with my old boat,

REALLY???
I thought they were good boats???
Either way, I test drove a 1999 Scarab 302 with 225's...
I am in LOVE with the boat, the speed, the handling, the layout.
Only problem with this one, it had bottom paint.
So anybody that can help me find a 302 Scarab thats CLEAN without bottom paint and under $30k, let me know!

Most CCs around here have plenty of freeboard and sharp deadrise, pretty solid too but not the fastest.

That's funny. Had Wayne County Sherrif board me last year to do a "safety inspection". One guy says to me, are those seat out of a Cigarette? I replied, "oh you mean these drop out Stand up bolster seats that have the velocity logo embroidered in them? No they are out of a Velocity.". You would think the coast guard and sherrifs that patrol the waterways would have a clue............

I love my Concept 30, Tanner say's its junk so maybe I'm the only idiot out there that loves them. Cant beat the versatlity, especially for salt water, warm weather boating. The Concept 30 is a small, light 30 but so far it suits my needs perfectly, it's amazing how quick it jumps on plane and accellerates.
