I have a 2003 37' with bone stock warrantied 496HOs. 72mph every day. 77.5mph best in salt with chop. After headers and labbed props. it should touch 80mph. Mine handles GREAT. You will not find another boat that handles and rides like this one. Lifetime warranty on hull to original owner for all ATs as well... can't beat that.

We NEVER see these Active Thunders out here on the West Coast, so I am looking for as much info as I can get.

My boat was at Havasu for the first 18 months after it was delivered. The former owner took it in the SCOPE Poker Run. There was also at least one 37AT in the recent SCOPE Poker Run as well.
I invested in 5 year extended warranty from Mercury. Now I am fighting them on a drive/gimble housing failure. I do plan to add the CMI headers sometime soon.

Brian, add those headers, 80MPH would be sweeeeet! on stock black power in a big 37 footer. Then keep it at least 2 years and I wont have to upgrade a thing. HAHA DK
