OK, you guys have totally highjacked my thread!

Seriously though, I am very concerned about the large single step. And I'm pretty sure the forks on the Wiggins lifts are longer than 12 feet.

Nobody dry stores their AVH?

I keep mine on the lift or on the Myco. I only live an hour from you so when i get the boat home in april your welcome to drive up and look at the bottom and take measurements.

Well, well! I just got off the phone with Frank Marchone.

I forgot about the swim platform adding the extra 3 feet. Should not be a problem assuming my marina will let me install custom bunks. Can't imagine they would not.

He is working up some numbers on a trade. Looks like a trip to Pompano may be in my future. Stay tuned!

I am probably going to keep mine in a high and dry or in a sling when I get it back to Texas. It should be a problem. I keep my twin Step CC in a high and dry and it is fine. The steps on my cc are deep too (see below). You can’t go wrong with the 37 AVH. Have you ridden in one?

I have not ridden in one. That's why a trip to Florida will be required. Excursion kindly offered to let me ride with him down river last year on their Poker Run, but my ride up river blew out his knee the week before the run and had to cancel.

I have driven a Top Gun....and loved it....as did my wife. And that was in 4 - 5's with the occassional 6 footer thrown in for good measure.

The TG is a great boat. The only issue with the TG was at high speed the AZZ end slide on you. I was in a four blade boat and Mark's friend Frank who has a Gun said that it did it on his with 4 blades too but once he went to 5 blades it stopped. The AT is a better riding boat in big water because it stays in the water more. The TG will launch. Both are built solid....
