Default Why so slow?

The Concept website states that the 27' sport model max power is 350? Why? Twin 175s would be pokey on this boat right? 50s max? I need to go smaller for my next boat and want eggbeaters too since I'm done crawling around in a bilge, but I wouldn't buy a 27 that was that slow. Opinions?

Here it is from the website:

"Max Outboard Rating..............350 HP" I take that as maximum total, not maximum twin rating, maybe I'm missing something.

Seriously? I couldn't see buying a sport boat like this and getting passed by a Grady...what's the point LOL?

It's a single engine rating...there are a few that have been a few made with twins that exceed the 350hp ... call Luis Avila the owner at Concept directly and he will help you out.

But it will almost cost as much as a 30. And, remember the boat is really a 25 with 2' of bracket.
