I just bought the 2002 37 AVH demo and put my 500HP,s in the boat and with 30 props straight out of the box first time out the boat ran 85.6. We moved up from a 32V and there was no choice to what boat we wanted. Dont be scared,to buy an AT, go look at all the other makes there are twice as many for sale. We were very happy with our 32, but I made the mistake of going for a test ride at the factory, and I was done in for, I had to have a 37AVH. The boat is stable, fast,great for the weekend getaways, and where ever you go you are just about the only one. Every poker run I always had people around the boat asking questions.

You wont go wrong!!!

I'll attest to the speed - the SOB rubbed my face in it!!:D :D

And somehow the boat "entranced" my wife to the point that she crawled in the v-berth and tried out the "ankle rests". (Sorry, the rest of the story is classified).

I'd give them a SERIOUS look if I was in the market. I've been to the factory, I've looked at Excursion's boats - the only thing missing now is a demo ride. And I'm an impulse buyer - so I won't ride until I can pay.

Thanks Pat, for your quick response on the motor mounts. I am turning the 30,s right at 5400 rpm's and some times on the motor that I put the larger cam into it will hit the rev limiter, so when I change the other cam, I will have the props kicked up some and hopefully pick up a few more MPH!!
It even runs better in chop than smooth water.

If anyone ever needs to be convienced, come on and go for a ride and then be prepared to place an order for one.

What ever you do, don't go for that ride until you have the money! I have made that mistake! My Cafe IS a great boat but the 37 is a whole new era. I need to sell my boat and get a 37! It is the best offshore boat built today.

We love our AT and it's the shorty 25ft'r. Someday I'll save up the money and get me one of those 37 AVH's!!!

Saw the 37 that National has at The Nauti Goose Saloon. Nice boat!!

Thanks, VB for your time. Hope you find your new boat soon. JAIME

I love my 32' A/T and it has a very nice solid ride. I feel very secure---it's a fun little hog! :)
