Default Thoughts on this 2001 AT 37

I've visited this site for years and recently finally joined.

A few hours south from me is this 37. I've gone through most posts in the AT section covering the last 3yrs trying to find info on this boat with only a few references.

I'm looking for everyone's thoughts, concerns or history on this boat.

I posted addresses below because of being new and cant use hyperlinks

Mostly only found the below thread:

My main searches revolved around ONLY boats with #6 drives searching the 37' AT's, 38' CIG's and 42' Fountains.

This is the only AT I've seen with extension boxes so that's another concern. Though, wouldn't the added length shift the COG for the good to the AFT in these hulls. Referencing issues I've heard and read here with big power and getting the rear of the hull loose at high speed? Or plus, any added issues if one of the posters above were correct and had a broken drive, could it have internal damage to the transom or issues with the added leverage with extensions on?

I would look at running it as currently rigged to work out issues and then repower with fresh 650 to 700 hp NA engines.

Like was said, the boat you are referencing had been for sale for years, and just recently sold.

There are a few 32's (mine being one) and a couple 37AVH's that had extension boxes. If I remember correctly, Pat, the owner of AT, said the ext boxes really didn't add any benefit on the 37.

Thank you both for your reply. I've enjoyed reading through many of post from both of you and learning a lot about AT. Id be curious if the new owner posts up in this forum and hear what a survey said or what they found for issues. The more I read about AT, the more reason its at the top of my list.

I've only seen the new owner post on the Active Thunder FB page. Not sure if he is or ever has been on OSO. From what he posted on FB, this is his first go fast boat.
