Adam,
Talking with several owners, low to mid 80's seems to be the norm in everyday trim. As Brian mentioned, B1 32P 4 blades are what most are running and appears to well with these boats. As you know, there's a little more speed to be had if you want to work on props and or lighten the load. Regardless, it sounds like the 32p B1's are hard to beat for a good all around and econaomical prop. Honestly, running low to mid 80's in a well optioned 37 with 525s sounds pretty good to me! I think you're going to be really, really happy with that boat.

Spicy/Boatfreak, Adam recently bought that salvaged 2006 37 that slid and "hit a sand bar".

Boat is pretty light with no ac or genny as compared to other 37's

I'm sure Brian, Pat, and other 37 owners would know better, but based on your boat lacking AC and genny, I would expect to see mid 80's in everyday trim. Although if you're toting around your usual 10-12 person crew, you might be lucky to get her up to 80! :lolhit:

Yeah but my 10 passenger's average 100lbs so I'm not doing to bad :drink:

Buy a pair of 32P B1 props and start there. They are the SUV prop for the boat; they do everything at well balanced comparatives.

Then you can star playing with Brett and BBlades, but I would still keep a pair of stock 32s on the boat at all times as the spare/backup set.

I have a set of Hydro P5X 30's still in the barn that i ran 89 on in fresh water, let me know if you want them. Bret at BBlades dialed them in for me and they rock. Doing a little bit of garage clean up.
