LMAO

Center console = more seating for skanks.... And if you can fill up a Concept 30' cabin with blow or horse, you got other things to deal with.

You'all are taking me the wrong way,,I like center consoles,,I was just pointing out why we called them the pontoon boats of the ocean,,because they both are built around same idea,carry lots of people,coolers,easy to maintain,etc,, only difference is CCs can actually take on the ocean .. Thats all,,not putting them down at all. My winter boat for many seasons was a Mako CC,, no reason for a big boat on the lake in winter when there is almost no one out there..

Every time I see one I think its the cops. And I dont want 10 people on my boat. Are they allowed to pop beer caps off on your grab rails too? They do nothing for me, never have.

Nope.

Ask warparty......we were all cruising at Texas outlaw and got them up into the mid 60's. I took that one out with a few less people and saw low 70's.

The 380 with twin 300 verado's runs right around 65 wide open. 55 is a higher cruise but pretty solid with that load. That's spinning 53-5400

Just because you have seating for 10, doesn't mean you have to put 10 people on board. Most of the time its myself, my wife, my daughter and one or both of my beagles. Occasionally we will take another couple out with us. It doesn't matter if I have 1 or 10 people on my boat, the first one that uses a grab rail to pop the top off of their beer is the first one to get thrown overboard... Not sure how many CCs you've seen or what the water cops have where you boat, but I don't think anyone has ever mistaken my boat for the sheriff or Coast Guard....
