Mine would run 89 with P5x Hydros and stock 525's in Lake Erie water. Fully loaded with fuel and 6 people you would see 85-87 all day long. Only Problem was my buddy would run 91 in his boat so we had to up the power a bit... He don't pass me any more

Dan these are for you, will have to get the wife to hold them for me.

HA! Aren`t they just the most beautiful thing ever!?!? I probably won`t be saying that is I ever get too close at the beach, they`ve already cost me a pair of pants, shirt and a couple a nice scrapes.

Just a thought here, when was the last time Cig built a TG with a full cabin? V-berth/ head/frig/ 2sinks w fresh water/ AC /genny/ or any kind of storage? I have heard and it is just rumor, they won't do it because it upsets the balance and speedway to much. Go figure.........
Point is not everybody has to have all out speed but wants to enjoy performace boating on many more levels.
So, when was the last time one of Pats customers ordered a 37 stripped down like a TG? Go order one he would probly build it though it would defeat the whole objective of a AT.
I'm thinking those #s(37s built) and what the customers want are what tells the story and it is delieved to them in style and comfert with very respectable speeds by the same guy every time that has been doing it for how long?
Where is the arguement? I just don't get it.

Default 2001 32' w/500's and XR's

my 32' ran 82.7 with 6 people and 3/4 full. 1.5 on the drives. I can only imagine what it would do with 525's (someday, maybe). the only problem that I have is my prop slip seems high to me 18-20% (running labbed 30's or 32's). If I can figure out how to get it down should pick up a mile or two.

Last year took the 1/2 drive spacers out (not sure why they were there), didn't lose any speed, boat flattened out, but damn the rooster tail it threw. Had one of my friends call me after I took off, he thought I forgot to trim the drives down. No problem getting out of the hole.
