Not meaning to correct you but the 37 AT weighs in over 10K. Our lamination schedule is at the very least over-built.We have zero-hull failures and no complaints of stress cracks on any boat I can recall. The speed is thru the patented hull design.
The flexing you see in the deck is not a strength issue as the knits and cores support the area. We simply chose not to utilize a bulkhead to support the deck at the v-berth. This allows easier access to the v-berth as well as a more 'open' feeling in our cabins.
If fiberglass doesn't flex it breaks. You just need to make sure your lamination schedule meets the demand.

Don't want to burst anyones balloon, but, a boat is a boat. It's the guy that's working the sticks and trims that makes the difference.
Some guys can make a v bottom sing, and suck in a cat.
Conversely, some can fly a cat, but can't get a v bottom up on plane.
Its not the pen, its the penmanship.

Speed is not the most important aspect to a boat.. OL and Cig's have higher X dimensions from the factory.. Terry Sobo has posted numerous times that NT's are set up with an all around user friendly set up.
I believe the customers boat for the article was around 101.7 but don't quote me.. The Yanmar boat was around 80-82... that i know for a fact. Jeff

The last one I saw advertised was an 03..dont know of any being built in 04.. it was out west somewhere.. Ol was developing their 39' models.. I prefer the 37 all the way around vs OL 39..and the epoxy boats you can have them..
