does anybody actually use that sunpad? neat idea but I'd think it be like a bad amusement park ride up there on anything but a calm day. I'd think the minute a boat wake rolls in you'd hear screaming lol.

Went from a 43 foot Black Thunder with 750's per side and #5 speedmasters, My next boat was a Concept 23 foot with a 225 Optimax. You winterize it by letting the motor down so water does't get in the prop hub gearcase and freeze. My only regret is that I din't get a 30 foot Concept with twins.

We have people on the tops of Statement every weekend without issue.

Good thread. I hated the CC trend when it started, but they are starting to grow on me, and doing work in the bilge sucks, and having a 30+ foot boat that is cramped with 5 people along kinda sucks too.

I've been concept shopping. Seems like they are a great bang for the buck for a working class clown like me.

Who else besides Active Thunder and I think, Outer Limits are making traditional V's with outboards? Anyone have experience with this setup?

By the way, thanks to all for great feedback. It certainly draws the distinctions I was looking for. Think I'm gonna move in the CC direction... Kind of dreading the sale process though.

I'd rather have an outboard cat than a outboard v

handful of 33 PowerPlays with o/bs that are awesome but they are hard to find.

check insurance rates first!
