(I know its not the apache model with the 9'6" beam) Just curious, doesn't really matter to me, because I know they are built well. How much do they weigh with triples? 80 sounds a little slow for that much power on a 33' hull.

You won't use the "80" in one of these enough to know that you've got it !!!

Thanks mike. I know very well that 80 is fast, but I was just comparing to mine, which runs around 80-82 with triple 240 H.P. That is why I figured they weighed a bit more, but didn't know exactly what they weighed in at.
Thanks for the info. Darren

Mike, when tested in Hotboat they weighed it in at 6400 lbs. dry I'm sure. They were stock 200 outboards and went 74 in the Hotboat test. They now have shaved heads, ported exhaust, relieved exhaust, different carbs and boyesen reeds to get the extra 40 horse. I turn 27" 3 blade choppers right around 7000 r.p.m.

It's Heavy !
DK, I be surprised if I'm under 7500lbs dry, it's heavy and rides like it ( with the tank filled 225gal.+ the sucker runs like destroyer) . Speeds with 26 Bravos are 72.5 turning them out and 74.9 turning them in at 5700rpm in a 1 -2' chop with 75 - 100 gal. two people and all my junk on board. The boat is much more fun turning them out and in my opinion these things don't need to go much more than 72 -75mph. These boats are all about annoying the other CC's and screwing around, not chasing Top Guns
JAFO, there's a big difference between real enthusiasm and defending what you bought. This is my 15th boat, 11 of which I had built, after dealing with 10 different manufacturers I can tell ya these people and their product are refreshing and a damn good value Believe me, I've had boats that I said little or nothing about. I also have to disagree with a narrow beam creating a problem for kids. I've had boats with beams from 7'10" to 15' feet, most injuries happen trying to cross the open areas between the gunnels, fewer steps fewer bruises, when it comes to fast ( relative term) boats keep it tight and padded and everybody has a better time.

I'm not surprised at the amount of positive comments coming from Concept owners- all boat owners defend the boat they own and have spent lots of money on.
