...I was only joking. 69.8 GPS. :party-smiley-004:

I didnt wanna start a speed war.... I know about what most of these boats "should " run...

70 in a Cafe is a fun speed, hull comes alive!!

I wouldn't know!:angry-smiley-038:

I'm hoping to find out next spring after making the engines right.

I assume your referring to the used Police boat that was in the auction? Some good deals at those auctions. Pretty sure I heard the new owner wants a lot more.

The new owner bought for 51,000 I believe. It was bought at auction in former police trim for a bit less. After the auction almost $10,000 was spent hauling it home wet sanding and buffing the entire boat, putting a trailer under it, new decals, and cockpit cover.

yup and here it is before and after

I saw that one in a thread also but I didn't know it sold for that kind of money, wow seems like a pretty good deal. I wonder how many hrs are on that one? How many ts 37s were made? How many are still floating around? I dont think high 70s or low 80s seem unrealistic. With 502s i have seen high 70s no matter the load, saw 83 couple times with 3 people and 1/2 tank of fuel without a cooler or any gear except bare essentials. We were doing shake down runs and touching the rev limiters a couple with good chop on lake Winnebago. I think 37s are very nice looking machines. I have never ridden or driven one, I won't mind the chance though. I hoping the weather holds up for tomorrow so I can run it one last time.

Blue moon ran 82 with Merc 500's with the single step. The other single step ran 90 at lake x with the merc 575's. These stepped 36/37's are a lot lighter then the old ones.

The f2 stripped boat runs just over 90 with 500's and the one pictured above runs mid 80's. Motors were fresh from innovation. As far as I know there were 4 of them. 2 are in new Hampshire.

Theres only 2 single steps and 2 of my buddies own them one here in gh michigan and on in vigrinia.
