Default Center console advice concept, glasstream, etc

I have been pondering the thought of switching to a "Sporty" center console, Concept, Glasstream, Renegade, ETC...
I was just curious if any other owners have done this from the powerboat, etc... to a center console, what are the pros and cons, was it a good move, bad move, ride doesnt compare? whatever just looking to see what others have experienced?

what other brands are there to look at? Anybody have any exper. with the brands listed above? Thanks in advance

I went from a Cig Top Gun to a Wellcraft Scarab.
Much easier on maintenance and up keep. Basically flush motors and quick wash on hull.

I miss the ride, although the Scarab does ride well for a 30' boat. I also miss the big block sounds. But I don't miss anything else.
The CC is so much easier to maintain, it makes boating even more fun.

The brands you have listed are nice. Specter makes a nice CC too.
