HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

As you know I have a 36 spectre with a pair of 1500HPS....I also have a wife and a 4year old and a 1 year old.

Can't enjoy boating with the kids on the cat so I looking for an additional boat.

I'm looking into a 36 Carrera with Triple 2005 Merc 250's with 2 year warranties,a 36

Contential trailer also 2005.

I alwaya trust your opinions WHAT DO YOU THINK??????????

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

What do you plan on doing w/ the 2nd (new) boat?

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

Thats what I got this for .... have 2 boys ... 5 and 2 ... the CC/OB works pretty good with the kids !!!

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

Good question...Fishing/crabbing/tubbing/swiming/short trips/ sking and all the other "INGS" with the Kids.

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

Leopajm: Concept was another choice on my list....love yours. How does it ride and how does it run?????? Trips are the way to go.

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

Ride is great ,... it's a big straight forward 36' with the trips (Yamaha) tops has been 73-74.... but with these boats you seem to spend all your time (esp. with the kids aboard) between 40 - 55 or so .... Knocks the chop down real good !

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

I don't know that center consol is pretty high, are the phonebooks waterproof?

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

Come on Otto - just go to Typhoon and buy the 36! You have had over 1 year to make your decision :p :p :D :D

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

A 36ft will not be good for tubing and skiing.

Sorry, I'm not a big fan of narrow beam CCs.
They're fast, but that's it.
I guess its good if you're looking to do a bit of everything, but not too good if you're looking to do any of those things too seriously.

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

Dave, you know that I love you guys....I just want to be sure of my decision.....

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

I just make sure there's a spare 30 pack on board to step up on !!! :D

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

Stormrider....with a 4 year old and a 1 year old your not "serious" about anything.........

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

Take a look at the sterling 38.

Its got more beam, and will be more comfortable when the boat is drifting or anchored.
It'll still get you mid 40s-50mph cruise w/ trips.

My dad looked at it and was very impressed w/ the finish on it.
He thought it was much better than concept or donzi.

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

I hear ya... I've got 6, 4, 1/4. oye...

Maybe get something not so racy, since you've already got that covered.
Something smaller will also get you tubing and skiing. They may be young now, but in 2-3yrs they'll be ready.

I just put my new CONCEPT in the water a few weeks ago and think it is an all around great boat for doing anything on the water. How can you go wrong with a CC and big outboards. You can beat it up all day with the kids and just hose it off at the dock. When you build a CONCEPT Luis can do just about anything you ask for. Check them out at the show.

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

Dude, go with the Concept. No doubt about it. Trust me. A buddy of mine has a 32 Carrera for sale. I have a vested interest and I am STILL telling you to go with the Concept. Any ??ss..

Re: HELP!!! W/ New 36 Carrera
 

The Concept is the way to fly...
Great hull and great construction. I've been to their factory a couple times. They're good people to deal with. Luis is a good, honest person.

You can do real well for your $$ with Concept.

Also take a look at the 33 Ocean Hawk. The hull mold is the Cigarette 33 Open that they no longer make. OH does a nice job with the boat. I ran one 3 weeks ago and was very impressed. (be sure to get large water intake scoops)

I don't want to sound biased, but what ever you do.... do NOT put four strokes on that new boat. You'll ruin it if you do....

I work for these guys...so feel free to PM or call me if you'd like more info on the "best" outboard option... :drink:
