Took delivery of 37 open fish in June of 2010
I took delivery of a 37 open fish with twin Mercury 300XS outboards. Great boat. Very smooth and useable speed. I would consider serious offers if some one is looking to pick one up.

I really like these boats, but wonder how wet of a ride they would be running offshore. With no real bow flare, I would imagine that they would run quite a bit wetter than a similar sized vee bottom center console.

The ride is much smoother then a deep V and the max speed is much easier to maintain because you are not getting beat up.
Still dialing in as I did not use it much this year, but easily did 68 MPH with out trying so 70 MPH should not be a problem and maybe into the low 70's once optimized. The amazing thing is it is faster then my old Donzi 35 with triple 250's and uses about 1/2 the fuel. It is amazingly fuel efficient.
Been to block island twice this year on days no one else showed up (hurricanes passing by) so I guess it can handle offshore seas well.

The boat rides on the last step and the stern for the most part so the spray line is at the rear of the console so it is generally a very dry boat. If the seas are high (6'+) and the wind is high and you are traveling with the wind off the side at 90 degrees, it will spray into the boat. Side curtains could easily cure this. Generally most people do not run in these conditions anyway.
