So, scratch the 2004 or newer approach. Any reason not to look for an older concept? As long as it's a good survey, a Concept is a Concept right? Please advise.

^^^I agree, if anything else at least get one with a 4 stroke. My 27 had a 300x 2 stroke and while it sounded killer at idle the constant loud "bahhhhh" on plane along with the ridiculous amount of fuel and oil consumption really wore on me.
other than that just make sure you check the normal spots for rot...you definitely don't want a rotted transom on boat with a cantilevered outboard! other than that they were the same boat for like 20 years or something keep in mind when you search, the older ones are referred to as 25's not 27's
