That's it?! Come on man...give us more feedback! If the winds were anywhere near what we had here yesterday, you had a classic ride. :coolcowboy:

Clark, do you get any kick backs for all the boats YOUR boat has sold? :grinser010:

I was impressed how the boat handled the water and going in out of the inlet was a great experience also. It was nice to ride in a boat with someone that really knows how to drive. Pat definetly knows how to handle a boat.

Thanks for all the info that yall have given me and i will be making a decision on a purchase fairly soon.

so i hear your building a new 37 with 600s ?

Its official. i sent pat the down payment last week.

I am excited about the build. I decided to go with the 600s because of the cruising speed and i have the option to get more HP after the warranty is up. Not sure if it is the smart thing to do but i think i will be ahead of the game if i decide that i want to get more speed out of the boat.

If there is any info that you can give me about the build process i would appreciate it...

I don't have much I would have changed, but here's a few minor thinks:

I would have painted my deck hatches to match the graphics.

I would make sure the pop up cleats had a bigger pass through in the middle to allow the dock line to go through easier.

I would have installed a sliding cabin door in place of the double folding doors.

And I might have made the head rests on the sun pad longer.

well the best advise i can give you is to stay on top of things,fly in at least a couple of times to make sure you are getting everything you want. I found that i changed things along the way that i would have missed otherwise.

painted cabin door & under rear seats, etc. i added lots of paint to my boat. Pat will be glad to charge you extra like me. lol.. congrats, you will be very happy with your boat. Pat builds perfection....
