Have you been on a 37ft OL Stilletto? How would you say the ride is compared to the apache? How about your apache to a top gun? I know the apache is gonna run a little better than OL when the seas get a little big, but do you really get through it that much easier? Sorry for all the questions bro, hehe, i just get a little excited lol.

No problem!!!

I've been on a few different 37' OL's and it rides pretty well but definitely a noticable difference even though the boat is 1 ft. longer. 37OL has a 1 ft. notch in the back and a step...it's a lot lighter...so it definitely rides differently.

Top Gun is pretty equal....depends on the driver though... Last summer I went out on my buddies top gun, we drove all the way down to Bayhead on the ocean.... Got back home and then took my boat out the same day....the ride was noticably different... The Cig guys say it must have been the driver....I dunno...but bottom is almost the same but the Cig has a notched transom and the 36 Apache is full length no notch...

capo 71

we run our boat out of shelter harbor on lbi, we see the cg at the ramp by our marina all the time

our son applied to the coast guard academy this year. by far this is his first choice of schools, he is really hoping to get in.
we would love to hear about your experiences in the USCG
