Not to hurt anyones feelings but all these big center consoles look the same the only difference is counting how many outboards are on the transome and trying to spot how many are dummy engines

Oh come on, the "cigarette" style speed boat with 5 seats and a cabin all look the same too, same for the skater looking boats and the deck boats and on and on.

Texoma,

Ehhh.... I can usually tell a MFR from across the lake. I can even usually, at least somewhat, pinpoint the era, just by the graphics. I can't do this with the CCs. Even the CCs built by MFRs that build/built inboard boats that I can recognize.

Thanks. Brad.

Been on plenty of boats in FL with black Alcanta and seadeck and they are fine. Usually the floor will need a hose down when at the island for a bit bit that's all.

This isn't 1990 anymore. .materials and fabric have come a long way.

And many of us that enjoy those CC's can do the same, they don't at all blend together and all have defining lines and areas but the old school people and thinkers need something to grasp to and hate on so i guess we found it

Thats what we did this last weekend. Took out the hose and sprayed the floor when we anchored. Works well and takes 10 seconds.

Boost,

Yup. It was easy. From a three hundred yards away... "It's a fountain", or "It's a Baja. With the CCs, it's "It's an outboard center console of some sort....." You gotta get close enough to read the logo.

Thanks. Brad.
