Stan had 800s in "Whatever" many years back. At the kind of speeds it was running, (95+), it was lifting the transom out of the water. As such, the step was beveled off to allow the transom to stay planted. Pat and Stan were doing the beveling with a belt sander and testing it in the intercoastal in the pouring rain in the vicinity of the 14th Street Ramp. :D

John squared the step back off to it's original configuration with the HP500 carbs back in the boat.

No inside info here. I think I have the last 37 straight bottom boat. So 8-71's are a less expensive option for more speed than putting a step in my boat.

LOL I know about the 112 claim but didn't really take it seriously. I heard the whippled 525 boats ran around 105-106mph, I thought I read awhile back that Laszlo was in that range or higher.

What were the best props on the higher HP boats??
correct... the first owner claimed 112 i never seen that.

Sorry do not get on here much any more. But yes you are correct we had 107 as our best with the old set-up and ran very well once we had the props dialed in. Will keep you posted on the new speeds this summer.

See post #32 for pics https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/...-thread-2.html
Single stepped. Weight will be in the +/- 9800lb range as are most 37AVH's

You'll be crazy fast if you can keep it stable and not break the drives, I'd guess 110+
