Has there ever been any Actives with staggered motors?
 

Just wondering, if so does anyone have pics of the engine room?

99% sure no. There has been a bunch of talk about extending the 37 to 39 and adding a stagger.

1 - 37 was built with staggered 600SCs several years ago. The boat didn't perform any different or better than a side/side.

Would we do it again with current/newer technology? Yes, we would build one if someone wants it.

Do a search for more info. This has been discussed before in this forum.

That seems a little surprising but for me I like the ease of maintenance more then the performance.

Side by sides are just a PITA to work on, and I do ll my own work.

I'll search here,

Thanks.

BTW

Seems I'll be boating in bigger water, anyone want a 32 (30) fever?

Was that a semi-stagger? If they did a full stagger, you could get the drives closer together to get better speed, right?

It was a full stagger. There was also a triple 37 built as well, but that one was a straight-bottom.

Remember the design of the hull. It's specifically tuned so the edge of the step, the bottom of the transom, and the propshaft are all on the same plane. When you go to a staggered setup and try to drop the engines, move the COG, and change X-dimension, you are completely averting the architect's performance and ride design of the hull.

Just put some stock 525 EFIs in there and you won't have to work on them! :evilb:

The 2nd 37' AVH hull is the only staggered AT ever built and went to Texas. It was rigged with twin 600's and was a pre-innerlined boat. It did have a great David Hunter paint job with rocks or asteroids on the sides!!

Now you know better then that, it is a BOAT!


Why does the red one with 525 and whipples keep coming up for sale, it does look killer but it's for sale again???????

I love the look of it.

those were asteroids? I thought they were hemmoroids...

That was one of my favorite paint jobs.

LMAO!!! No, hemmoroids is what the owner of that boat was giving you!!! (and me)!!!!!!

Not to hijack the thread but: Pat, the old Canadian Edition Hydrostream AE-21 I showed you a few months ago is coming along nicely. I rebuilt the transom knees with 1.5" thick 24lb density Airex PXC coring, West Systems Epoxy resin, 40oz S Glass, New Livorsi silver carbon fibre gages with red race rims, Panther Marine 4" setback Bracket, Detwiler 8" hyd. Jack, etc. etc. It's getting close to being finished...did all the work myself in my garage...what a PITA but worth the effort. I'll post some pictures...much of what I learned at AT was put into the rebuild!! Boat should run tripple digits!!!

That boat is mine.. I get a different one every year.. if anyone wants the boat without the whipples i will be happy to keep them!

if that helps resale LOL

This will be the next 37 to sell NEW or used in my view..

BTW I dont care if the boat sells or not... I love it! nothing out their I would rather have for the money..:drink:

You got hemmoroids dealing with MR. THUNDER your illegitmate brother!!!!LOL LOL LOL:evilb::evilb::evilb:

and in my opinion and everone has one..that was the uggliest, plain and nondiscript paint job I have ever seen on anything!
Oh I feel better now..I've had that pent up for so long!!!:drink:
