Did you end up buying the Concept boat? I think that they're the best value in the CC catagory...I like the 27' best of all...Don't have one yet, but the only other boat that's close is the 25' Checkmate..However, I think the Concept is more ready, at least for the hardcore fisherman types...It's a fabulous boat...Let me know what you think of it because I plan on buying the 27, but I'm saving up for it since I don't take on debt financing...I'd also like to know a ballpark figure on the price you paid Joe
