That's ironic! I was putting my boat back on the trailer at the Marathon Yacht Club (I believe that's what they called it back then) in 2000 / 2001, and the tide was out (the ramp had a curb at the end of it so as not to drive off the end). So, we were having a hard time getting the boat on the trailer. A large CC with a cabin in the nose rolled in, waited on me for a couple minutes and then, frantically, asked me what they could do to help me get the boat on the trailer... which we did. Afterward, as we were thanking them, my friend asked what kind of fish they caught. I still remember two of the guys looking at each other, when I quickly added....., "Snapper, I bet, right?" They replied..., "yeah... yeah, snapper."
After we pulled off, I told my friend there weren't ANY fishing poles, or related items, on the boat! LOL

There have been a couple of 33' ATs built with outboards, both Yamaha and Mercury.
As Morry mentioned above, it's a 2000-ish model year 37AVH 'Excess' that was converted from the original HP500EFIs to outboards within the last year or two.
That boat probably has 1500 or more hours on the hull. I know the original owners had at least 1000 on it, and the original 500EFIs made it to 800 hours.
The boat was very recently sold.

No this boat was built for the Smallwoods and then sold a few yrs ago. Roy's boat was in Michigan for several yrs but it too was recently sold and I'm not sure where it went.
