Each boat is a little different, on the 37 AT I had the slip was in the 20-23% and I then added a 1" spacer and took it down to 14% slip which in turn picked me a some mph and alot on cruise.
Your boat from the factory came with out spacers, so you will have to test and see what works best for you.
Hope this helps.

There is NO such thing as getting it right the first time with a boat!!!
You have to spend a ton of money before you can get it right.

Laszlo, The stock set up for that boat is no spacers and Stock Bravo 1 32's. Try that first and go from there.

I'm running the identical set up on my 33 and I find it's the best overall.

Much easier to work on out of the boat.
Trust me I have enough experience.........

Yea i know, but im only doing the top end, cams , heads ect,,
they are actualy easy to do in the boat and i did not have to pull the drives and hoist the motors out and then re alighn them.

Ok will go with the no spacer lab 32 set up, sending props out to BBlades anyway and i used the labs on my powerquest and really liked the improvemnt, so will do the same here.

Going to write her again and get a better understanding. When I spoke to her in Miami, I think I had to many beers and didnt comprehend everything she said. Did you do a comp test and leak down before you pulled them? Give me a call this wkend. Try and help you out the best I can.

I went with Julie's drive spacer advice on a 32 AT. Installed a 1" spacer which did not help speed or slip at WOT. Did help cruising speed. I wouldn't waste the time with spacers. Nose cones put me from 86 to 91.

laszlo01 02-25-2009 11:02 AM

I was wondering on the nose cones, I put them on my Vyper and it really woke it up on the top end. Most likely just run the stock drives this season and see how it runs, gonna pull the motors next winter to see how they look and probably bump them up a bit to the 650 HP mark. Might consider nose cones at that point. Just wanted to see if I need the spacers or not, but looks like it is not a concern.

I ran a set of Merc labbed B1 32's on my boat. Did not like them at all. Experienced some blow out coming out of the hole and lost 5 mph in the cruise band. I went back to my stock B1 32's. Could care less about a mile or two on top end. I prefer consistent hole shots and solid cruise numbers.

You might want to run em before spending all that coin to get them labbed.

Activeshack has the same boat too...he runs a set of labbed 28P Maximus and loves the way they cruise. I run 32P Bravos or 15 5/8 28P Maximus on my Formula and have a set of cut down (15 1/8) 30P Maximus as extra props that also work well. Mark (Activeshack) is anxious to try these on his AT and they might be well suited for that hull. (we'll have to get them on Mark's boat to see how they work out)....they are for sale, just not sure what hulls are best for that diameter yet.

I am so sorry but who had the fastest AT around ??????



Besides the big power boats????
