    Been doing some brainstorming lately and kind of like the idea. Is anyone doing anything like that? Not that im in the market for anything new but seems like a good idea. Lots of room for people and to move around. Sunpad for the girls, i/o setup with swim platform, true bench seating in rear, triple or double bolsters fore and aft of console, side seating in front, and a small cabin in front for changing and a small V berth. or outboards with a hinged door in the side for swimming and a fold out swim platform. coolers in the floor for beverages and storage. I kind of like the idea. anyone else thought about it or have one? only downside i can see is passengers getting wind blasted at 80mph

    Catastrophe has a NorTech 43 with quad Verados. We took it at Key West. Nothing better to blast you and 15 of your closest friends out to the sandbar.

    The best selling boats in the performance world right now seem to be the big center consoles.

    CC outboard power boats are the only way to go. Huge amount of room, really easy to clean up and stock power all adds up to fun boating.

    The 44 concept seems to be a great blend of center console, go fast and cruiser.

    The Donzi 38 is a real nice boat and a buddy of mine has one with no rod holders or fish stuff of any kind, nice cabin, nice seating area both behind and in front of the helm, and runs well over 60 with triple Verados.

    Nortech makes a great boat. I've owned a couple and have been around a lot.


    Question for everyone.

    Has anyone on here ever complained to Mercury directly about their product??

    Yes, but that's misleading cause I live 20 miles from the factory and know people that work there.

    My boat has a swim platform with a fold down ladder.

    Girls- have them get sun tan lotion all over your buddy you are rafted withs both, and have them use his head as well! Works very well that way!

    If the manufacturer can't help...

    I guess there's the old adage of nothing ventured, nothing gained.
