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".

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!

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.
