Well I've about decided it's time to move up. (Actually decided long ago, but still coming to grips with the $.) I've read and heard so many good things about AT that it deserves serious consideration. Mainly due to the fact I love spending the weekend on the boat and Cig just does not fill that bill.

But I'm concerned about the single step. My situation is that I have to dry store my boat. No room at the inn if you will. How does the 37 handle fork lifting on a weekly basis? Is the step far enough forward to miss the forks?

Thanks for you input.

just curious what the answer is.

Macklin,

The boat can be lifted with forks, but the forks are going to have to extend past the step. Over time, you may end up with some damage. As usual, it all depends on your forklift driver and the equipment, and not as much the boat.

If you want to go new, AT can put some reinforcements in this area, to mitigate any abnormal stress in the fork areas. When I talk to Pat next, I will get a measurement from prop/difuser ring to the step.

The Thunder Run was AWESOME this weekend!! Pics and stories will follow as soon as we all return to town and recover.

I was running between 45 and 52mph in that stuff. I got it to 60-65mph a few times when I saw some pattern. I did not break one thing. Our bags in the cabin didn’t even move....

Best ride in its class...You cant go wrong with an AT.

I could only get run 40-42 in that stuff. Guess i had to give up some mid-range rough water speed to get more top end than you.
I couldnt resist this one.

That is because Pat likes you better...
