With the cc and O/B trend in full swing. Why hasn't any new mid sized 35-38 closed deck boats been built with O/B power. Seeing the speeds of some of the cc boats a closed deck with 3 or 4 if they will fit motors bolted on the back would be a hit. AT is doing a new 29' did a bigger one a few years back with fishing motors on it. maybe he is on to something.

Because it takes a whole bunch of outboards to push a 30+ foot boat to the speeds many of us like and you then need to overcome the drag of that many gear cases in the water. Maybe it's time to revisit the 24' deep V step bottom with two OBs.
