Your not? I am. We have owned one. In fact, I still have the speeds from when Mike originally tested our old 37' Ol. Dude, I respect your opinion but sometimes you got to put down the pom-pon's. My friend's 38 TG ran 87 all day in fresh water. It ran 85 with 10 people in it! Our 37 with hooked up 575's just barely touched the low 90's. Not trying to argue..just stating my opinion, and we all know they are like a$$holes, everyone has one

A 37OL with staggered 575's runs 90, not side by side like yours was which is the same as a T/S gun. The 37 Expoxy boat with 525's also ran 90. The 37 with stock 500's runs right around 80 which is also true for the T/S Gun. The 525 Guns normally run 84-86 everyday. This is just from my experience, but not having owned them.

Sorry, i meant non epoxy boats (trying to compare apples to apples) and side by side boats.

What does a 37' AT run for speed? Nor Tech 38'?

Now that I think about it, I recall a long time OL owner telling me that his 37 that was a side by side set-up was faster than his other 37 that was staggered.

True story! Buddy of mine had his wife do'n some nailing on the roof of their pole barn, she had a nail gun, he told her 2 pop 1 every 6 inches. He heard the gun just firing boom boom boom, he went over 2 C what she was do'n & found she was put'n in at about 2 inch gaps, he said I told U every 6 inches & she told him, that's what U told me 6 inches was!!! True story, kid U not!!!

37 AT with 525's will run 87-90mph

good friend of mine has a 37 up out of Petoskey w/ 496's & no special props & I think the best he has seen is 76 mph!

Man this thread hasn't really explained any of the differences other than some are built better than others, but nobody says why.

What is the difference in construction layup of each brand?

What is the difference in materials used for each brand?

Which one spins out easier?

Which one is easier to drive?


I kind of like the 37AT. Did I read something about this hull being a new apache hull at one point, but was "adopted" by AT. What is the story with the 37AT and Apache connection? Or am I just imagining things.

Seems like weve turned this into a pissin contest. Good questions

I thought we summed it up. The 39 Cigarette is the best overall boat for that size and unlimited budget. The Nortech is a close second, but suffers in the looks dept. The 37 Ol while nice is not in the leauge of the others due to age. All three boats are winners. it all depends how much $$ you want to spend and what your personal preferences are. Any one of the three mentioned are excellent choices.
