Whats up with this 37 AT?
 

Any info on this 37 its been on the market for awhile?

http://www.offshoreonlyclassifieds.com/page-8651.html

Its a straight bottom boat; built without a cabin liner. The interior has crisp clean lines. It did have graphics down the side, but it is now repainted all white. I talked to a guy at the MBS that was trying to purchase the boat. I have not seen the boat in person. Time will tell.

Its been for sale for a long time,Not selling because of the striaght bottom and 502's ? I personally like the looks all white.And that diesel gen thing looks like a sweet set up.

I have been watching that for a long time also. I thought it would be a great weekender. I tried to e-mail and call the guy many times and got no answer. There has been other threads about it in the past and some different ideas about what is or has gone on with it. Have you seen it? I would like to know the real story myself

Sydwayz that was me you talked to at the show it was nice meeting you and Pat. I still haven't seen the boat in person but have talked to Larry Goldman about the boat. He currently has another person looking at it with a cash deal so my trade deal is on hold till he knows more.

I heard it was in bad condition...

Thats what I remember reading in other threads. But I have never seen it so someone needs to look at it. there has to be a reason its been on for so long, going on 2 years now, he must be spending alota bucks on the ad.

It would be a great boat to buy and send back to the factory for new paint and interior. I bet it would cost at lease 25-30K to get it right assuming no mechanical problems. So if you are looking at buying it...factor that in...It would like buying a house to redo....

It got repainted because it caught fire in the engine compartment a few years ago...... What I was "told" by a Broker in Florida, I called about the boat two years (?) ago, told me it would be for sale after they put it back together...

not to sound like an idiot, but what do you mean with out a liner?

I had some buddies at the Miami show 1 year ago go look at that boat for me.....they said it was dirty and that the paint looked like it had been put on with a roller because it looked so bad. The overall fit and finish was poor and the boat needed alot of work to be a nice piece. (no major issues, just alot of little ones) No one was around to show the boat, they were told to walk out back and take a look.
When I did talk to Larry he said he'd put 500EFI's he had laying around in it for $99K

There is no cabin liner. The floors walls are all uplostered instead of being finished fiberglass, you can still get the 28/33/37 with or with out. The liner will add some weight up front. Just a finish thing.

Thanks!

I heard you where in bad condition at the Miami show and Mark and I might of helped in that.:evilb:

I have seen the boat in person and it is definitely in need of some attention. The interior and cabin was filthy and was not the best colors for accents on the white interior( I use the term loosely). The paint looks like it was put on by Stevie Wonder.As long as the hull is still sound, the paint is no big deal.The boat would have to be stripped right down.That being said, anything can be made into something nice if you want to spend the money. I am sure Pat and company can have it looking like a brand new boat in no time. It is a straight bottom, so I am sure it will ride nice but it will not be that fast with the 502's. It is still an Active Thunder, so with a little attention you will have yourself a very nice boat. I would encourage you to research the cost before you buy the boat. You don't wan't to spend almost a 100k and then have to sink another 50k into it. For not that much more you can get a newer AT, with better power and a stepped hull.

I knew there had to be more to that boat than what we see in the pics. So any guess as to what would make it a good deal?

exactly 12 months ago bottom dollar was $90K as it sits, $99K with 500EFI's.

OH so now it has the 500's....... well that changes things Lets see Paint---upol---trialer----500 rebuilds?

It all depends on what one would like to spend.My guess is 40k to do it up right. If a survey showed no structural damage to the hull, I would figure the right number on the boat is 70 to 75k. Just my opinion after seeing it in person. As always though,it is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I was one of them that checked the boat out for t500hp's. Boy was I disapointed in it. It can be brought back to like new but is it worth the expense and time. The price would have to reflect that. So total rubuild of the boat......
Paint 25,000
Interior 10,000
Motors 502,s ?????? What shape....Need?????Rebuild $12,500
Drive's ?????? Gone thru $2,500
Trailer 7,500
Misc Items...$5,000
Total; $62,500

Buy the baot for $90,000

For $152,500 I` would look elsewhere for a step bottom.

I just can not justify that in a straight bottom 502 boat.
You would have to buy the boat for $50,000

I forgot about the trailer.I think it is obvious at this point ,it is not worth anywhere near what they are trying to get for it. Hence the reason it has been for sale for as long as it has been.Sooner or later reality has to set in.

Thats what I figured 40 to 50 and that I would have to think long and hard about

Good estimate James. And like you said "no free lunch" so its going to cost more than you think it will by $25,000 usually :eek:

That boat has been for sale for a LONG time.

If your truly interested in the boat give Larry a call. I saw the boat last week and they were working on it so it may be sold. It didn't seem to be in as bad of condition as some of you say it was.

What's wrong with 502's? I thought those were good engines.

that size boat with no step and 502s will be a pooch in todays standards.

Nothing wrong with 502's , you just have to see the boat in general, Would make a nice PROJECT boat for someone, and if speed is not a factor even better. I just dont think that the seller is aware of everything that needs to be done.

I really wanted it at one time because of the 502s. I thought it would be agreat weekender without all the power. But I never went through with it because of all I read on here about it. I still think it would make a nice boat.

It is now being advertised clean low hour boat with only 65 original hours??????

Must not have sold????????

No one in there right mind would pay 95k for that boat in the condition it is. One of two things will happen with that boat.

1. Discount the boat and let it go.

2. Restore the boat to new condition, and hope to recover the money.

never happen:eek:
