Re: Outboard resurgence.
I think it's a kool aid thing. At this point everybody just believes in the CC. John and I are on another board where everyone owns CC boats. If anybody mentions a bowrider they will be told they aren't seaworthy. But an R3 has a 21 deadrise and more freeboard than a lot of their CC boats lol while I wouldn't take an R3 out in 4-6 foot chop I wouldn't take a 23 foot CC either. Never got the argument I've always felt that a CC is an open bow boat and if I was worried about taking a wave over the bow I would be looking at a Cuddy or WA not a CC or bowrider. Once you get 30 feet and above it's a completely different conversation and everything I said goes out the window.

Fishability is a different discussion in which case I would agree the CC is much more utilitarian but seaworthiness is a different conversation.

Pretty crazy for a Cigarette boat. For when you need a fish, but need it fast...

That's because the fishing is awesome down there! Species on top of Species, Inshore and off!
I've discussed it here before but if I'm in the salt a CC is a no-brainer. Too much functionality for what I want to do (fish mostly).
Bonita springs - go catch one of those hard-pulling football torpedos!

Re: Outboard resurgence.
So I'm back in Florida this week working on the townhouse we bought. Anyway, we had some time to kill so we visited the local Cobalt dealership. I happened to ask what changes were expected in the R7 for 2018. He said that all of the big upgrades and changes in the 3, 5 and 7 were made in the 17' model year, but the big changes were coming to the larger R series boats.
Expect to see the R30, and possible the R35 to have an outboard engine set option.
I got really pumped up to see an R7, and other larger boats like the 30, 35 and a 40 coupe outside in the sunlight. What a piece of artwork and quality engineering. I can't wait for summer!
