AT is one of the top three vee bottom builders with Cig and Outerlimits, but AT has limited itself to really 37's with 525's. I am just saying that if Pat wanted to make the jump to OL and Cig territory he would have to build bigger power staggered boats that run 120+. Upwards of $5-6-700k.....

I could have sworn AT was a fairly high end boat , it sure isn't low end . looking on powerboatlistings there is a 38 cig top gun with twin 525's and xr drives . for top speed it says 75 . If I'm not mistaking a 37 AT with the same power will run over 90 . So if that is all true Pat and the guys at AT must be doing something right .
look at velocity boats how fast they run with small power but there flat pad is twice as wide maybe more then A.T

you also have to remember that the 37 has a wide flat pad from the single step to the transom where as a cigarette is a V all the way from bow to stern . the pad give's a flat surface for the boat to run on vs running on a straight V.

The dialed in 37 AT's run around 86-88mph. I think a couple have touched 90. The 38 TS Guns run 84-86mph.

It's been discussed before.
Stealin' Thunder ran 90 and change with Herrings. A few others have seen similar. I want to say Frank had the silver/yellow/burgundy one up to 91 at one point.
It's not an everyday speed on every boat, but it can be tuned to do so. Mike's boat should run a consistent 85+ depending on conditions. Pushing 90 with a fully decked out cabin including AC with 525EFI/XRs is nothing to sneeze at.

What's with all the skepticism and drama in this joint lately? Aren't we all in this because we enjoy it?
