I would disagree..........CC craze has only gotten bigger and as more people try one, they will buy one!

Just depends where you live. The Deck boats are still hot out west as well as many other styles of boats of Go-Fast boats. Starting to see more CC"s. Here in Havasu you never know what you will see next. Love them All!

If I lived in LOTO I would prob keep my boat or something like it in those parts.
We're currently at LOTO looking to buy a house and haul the Formula back for the Summers, then buy a condo in the Cape and get a CC, doesn't get any better then that.

I love them all too. Whatever gets you on the water. I do not see the deck boats advertised much anymore. I see a lot of bowriders, pontoons and wake boats mainly. And CCs. I don't think that Center Consoles will replace traditional go-fasts in the long run. Isn't the top speed on most CCs below 70 mph? If it can't hit 80, it's not a go-fast.

New CC should hit 75, maybe if I loose some weight 76. Last boat before CC was 42 Fountain, have never looked back.

CC boats are selling coastal areas but not a big market out west nor at LHC nor on inland small lakes. Some of the westcoast builders mentioned that they just did not get the craze about them. I know inland like in NY there is not much of a market for CC boats. I hear pontoon boats and wakeboard boats is becoming the norm. Just saying.

I cleared out a few PM's so that I can get some more.

Here in the NW it's all about the wakeboard, PWC's and a TON of aluminum fishing boats. There are more and more guys here resurrecting the flat bottom jets also...

No sir it doesn't.

That is where we want to be in the future as well. You are a smart and wise man.
