I like these but heard they have been having problems with rolling. Can't remember how many threads I have seen about it over the past few years.

If you want to see the three i had running this is a video i put together on the three bigger boats i owned http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSCquwf3SeY
They are all differnt and very cool boat i loved all three

Docking the BT SC was no problem after just a bit of experiance with it. I bought the BT 43' new, and I sold it with 410 hours on it. I did nothing but change the drive oil and engine oil I never had any drive issues but i was carfull getting on plane I ran the boat in some nasty water I agree at least XRs were needed but i had good luck with the brovos.
That said i blew a few drives on the CIG lol
At 6:45 of the video you have that thing flying pretty nie and a few boats behind you re struggling..If it wasa damn twin step I would buy it back tomorrow !!! Loved that boat !!

A Hustler Slingshot -38 w/ 500's will run low low 80's.
A BT and Formula are condos and the Cig is all business.

I have no idea where you heard that these boats roll. I'm not aware of any 37 OLs that have rolled, anything can roll if you drive it stupid I guess.

No NO No stay far away from Outerlimits and Nortech's . cuz thats what I am shopping for .

But no you wont find better build boats in those two and Cigarette. The OL and NT will have bigger cabins. The only problem some older OL 37's had and Mike told me this at a boat show so dont jump on me OL guys ,was the Bravo boats with a high X dim were hard on drives if you didnt drive them real good but now with the better gears and better XR drives it's not a problem. So your safe and good stuff is out there.
