I have had Cats for the last 6 years and I have one being built this is going to fill in until the new boat is done.

How long before your other boat is done and you are ready to sell? I may be in the market

Re: Need some help

[QUOTE=suncoastdave]Yes that is it.

I'm jealous, I love those colors. Been looking at Formula and Sonic for 8 months. Just recently learned about AT (OSO) and was eyeballing that boat. Congrats! PM me and let me know how you like it.

Re: Need some help

Chris,

I bought my 37AT from a guy who lives in Phoenix and keeps a place at Havasu as well. I don't know of very many ATs out west but there is a sweet PR edition 37AVH in SoCal. If I can be of assistance in helping you get one, let me know. I speak with the guys at the AT factory every few days. If you find youself travelling east, stick a post up in here as the density increases as you head east and I don't know an AT owner that would not take time to show it with you.

Brian

Re: Need some help

I would be willing to part with my 28. I need to get me a 37 soon

Pat is sending me a pair of pipes and a labbed 26 bravo 4 blade. so we will start there. I hpoe to test with open pipes and find alot more HP. also the the prop I have now is only getting 4800 rpm so I hope between the two things I pickup more than 6or 7 mph. ime will tell mark

Cosmic

I don't think I can afford or want a 37 (trailering/limited parking at the lake). Trying to stay in the 50 to 80k bracket. I figure I'll have to buy back east if I go with AT or Sonic.
