history on this 1999 37 active thunder with 625 chief ?

The stepped hulls are 13-15% more efficient. Straight bottom boats run great. They have a lot of boat in the water which creates drag though.
525EFI step bottoms have run as fast as 90mph, but that's if you invest $10K in props. Not everyone does that.
I thought that straight bottom originally posted sold already.

I'm just telling you the best speed I, personally, have seen. I think my boat was good for 2-3 mph more in salt water and trimmed to the moon. And, like Brian said, with the right props on...

That boat has been listed for sale for quite a while. Don't know anything else about it though. Prob would run low 80's with that power in straight bottom.
RadioActive is a 2003 and a stepped AVH hull. I think RadioActive also has the taller deck which gives about 4" more cabin height.

I've dealt with the Dana in the past, & my buddy purchased a 42 Fountain from him a couple years ago.. decent guy to deal with, most of his inventory are/were repo's that he flips , I highly doubt that the AT was originally from the great lakes.. he has had that boat for a long time, call him... oh ya & he likes to exaggerate speed by 5-10 mph
I sea trailed an 38 AVS Scarab 500HP boat a few years back, he claimed it ran over 80.. my handheld GPS never made it past 73..lol
