I know that the 37 non step was a good riding boat, But you need a lot more power to go as fast as a step. This is just a guess but I would think twin 600 Hp + to do 80+ I could be wrong though

There is a 1999 37 with Chief 650 engines for sale in Canada. They are asking $64,000. Have not seen the boat but pictures look ok.
Looking for a boat that will ride well in the rough water. My buddy has a 37 Outerlimits and I have spent a lot of time in that boat. It takes the big water well.
Could I expect a similar ride
