Not to be a tire kicker but...
 
Does Statement Marine have any v bottom deck boats with twin 2.5 Mercs or something cool ? Just like to see or hear one. Maybe buy one someday

They do not and I don't think I see one in the near future

Just the CC line, Cats, and the Vee's like invitation only and Saddle up.

I think something like this would be cool. Except open bow and the seat right in front of the windshiled facing forward and maybe a backwards facing seat in the bow. ( where the girl could be sitting) ;)

They offer a open deck/bow plan with a seat up front that fits 2-3 people. The front has a wrap around for seating as well.

The majority of their CC's are open bow design.

the only thing is I think you would have to put load sensors in the front. Boat stays under 40 with a load ahead of the windsheild. that way the idiots can't go 90 miles per hour with people ahead of the windshield. But it's seating behind the windshield is good I would think high-performance would be very safe in the boat just not in the front of the boat (at cruising only)

Ask Nor-Tech to combine these two, and you have your huckleberry:

We were running 50's with 13 of us on the boat front and back and it was very comfortable and was no issue at all.

mcprodesign 09-08-2014 11:01 AM

nope. It would have to be a statement ;)

We had 13 people in a 38 Statement running 65+ in St. Pete a couple years back.

Awesome boat.

Going to be pretty damn tough or impossible to get one of these to 90+ mph. Maybe quad 350 Verado's but I doubt it....

out of curiosity what is the big difference, is it simply weight?
to a non expert like me I see the same hull with light outboards

I think that stands for any of the CC lux market boats. NT has got there I think with the 7 marine model and I am betting the OL will see that #.

I also think Statement could do it if they wanted too but not sure they care to stear to that direction, could be wrong though.

mcprodesign 09-08-2014 08:13 PM

thanks for all of your input.50% of what I like about the boat that i have is the sound of it idling at the dock. A 2.5 Merc sounds pretty damn cool idling. But two of those things are not going to push a statement past 50 miles an hour. Once again thank you so much for your input
