Not meaning to correct you but the 37 AT weighs in over 10K. Our lamination schedule is at the very least over-built.We have zero-hull failures and no complaints of stress cracks on any boat I can recall. The speed is thru the patented hull design.
The flexing you see in the deck is not a strength issue as the knits and cores support the area. We simply chose not to utilize a bulkhead to support the deck at the v-berth. This allows easier access to the v-berth as well as a more 'open' feeling in our cabins.
If fiberglass doesn't flex it breaks. You just need to make sure your lamination schedule meets the demand.

That is a beautiful cabin in the picture that you posted. My 37 weighs quiet a bit more that 10K and the 38 is just about 11K. The AT is a fast hull no doubt. Have you done a full stagger #6 boat? Following a 37AT down the road from behind just looks crazy to me. It looks like something is missing. I am not taking stabs at your boat. My hat is off to you for doing something different with your bottom than everyone else has done. I thought that the AT would not ride good in rough water as flat as the bottom is in the back....but I was totally surprised at how well it did ride in rough water. Not at all what I was expecting from where I formed an opinion from looking at it on the trailer.

Don't want to burst anyones balloon, but, a boat is a boat. It's the guy that's working the sticks and trims that makes the difference.
Some guys can make a v bottom sing, and suck in a cat.
Conversely, some can fly a cat, but can't get a v bottom up on plane.
Its not the pen, its the penmanship.

Speed is not the most important aspect to a boat.. OL and Cig's have higher X dimensions from the factory.. Terry Sobo has posted numerous times that NT's are set up with an all around user friendly set up.
I believe the customers boat for the article was around 101.7 but don't quote me.. The Yanmar boat was around 80-82... that i know for a fact. Jeff

The last one I saw advertised was an 03..dont know of any being built in 04.. it was out west somewhere.. Ol was developing their 39' models.. I prefer the 37 all the way around vs OL 39..and the epoxy boats you can have them..
