Ive had a 00 TG and a 03 AT. The TG was a single step, and a terrible boat..only 6 were made. The twin step TG is a great boat, excellent fit and finish, runs well, but cabin is lacking in amenities, height is short. I prefer the ride of the 37 AT vs the 38 TG twin step, slightly. The 39 OL..not their best model. I dont care for the boats ride, more of a drivers boat..I actually prefer the OL 37, their older hull. Take out both the 38 TG and 37 AT in rough water, or water that you mostly boat on...this is where you will make your mind up. Good Luck. Jeff

Here is a short vid of us chasing down the cigs with much bigger power and beat them to the first stop. A/T's love the rough water.
