I talked with all the owners befroe me about the boat and other than Grant Gerrity they all said they loved that boat and the feeling while driving it. When I got the boat it was not maintained the way it should have been. I have spent a lot of time and money to bring this boat up to the level it deserves. The boat is almost flawless currently. It had 240 hours on the hull when i got it. I have only put 25 hrs on it.
Summary of what has been done to the boat since I have had it: Port and Starboard top ends rebuilt including new Jessel Pro Shaft Rocker assemblies, Port Motor complete bottom end and Dyno (all by Gellner Engineering, Ohio), Painted Cockpit dash to match the rest of the boat (was white), Dual Flush Mount Helms, New Upholstery in Cabin, New Snap In Carpet through out, New Full Cover, One New Dry Sump 1500 HP Trans, Rerigg and all new double steering pump system, All new shifter, and indicator cables, All new MSD Ignition, New Bump Solenoid Modules (it all works like factory now), New Imco Gatlin Exhaust Silencers, Swimstep rewelded and powder coated, New Fuel Pumps, New Indicator on dash, New Marine Machine HD Tie Bar Assembly, All new steering and trim tab SS bolts, Added 1" spacer to the #6SSM drives, New Fuel Transfer pumps, Myco Trailer completly rebuilt including all new Axles, 6 disc Elect over Hyraulic brakes, controller, tires and wheels, new bunks, jacks,lights and wiring, new leaf springs and some new paint
The boat is very clean and is dependable now. Starts and Idles around the docks very well, and of course does very well
top end wise. This boat accelerates unbelievable between 45 and 100 Even out here on Havasu or Mead in 110 Degree weather.
I have been thinking about selling and buying a 39' Quattro with 600's or 525's to lesson the amount of maintanance required, but mostly because my time is limited and don't have the kind of time this boat deserves.
The one comment about this boat being run hard all the time is probably not true, it was run hard I'm sure some of the time and has seen it's share of Poker Runs but the boat was built and designed for that and is still very solid. I have had fun with this boat the two trips I have had it out this summer
and as usual it brings plenty of looks and it is a blast to drive.

Re: 37 Stilleto -Which Drive?
I bought new 17 x 33P 4 Blade Mercury's which is the same as was on there when they broke. the only difference is that the new ones aren't labbed yet. I also have tried a pair of Herrings 17 x 33P 5 blades and a pair of 17 x 37 5 blade Merury's. The Herrings are very smooth but I'm not sure thay make the boat handle as well as the 4 blade Mercury's. The 37 Pitch are a bit too much pitch for the boat. It takes a lot of testing under the same conditions to really figure out which is best and I haven't had a lot of time to do that. Everything changes when your running in 110 heat and some altitude like Lake Mead has. When I first got this boat with the 17 x 33P 4 blades in Nov. of 2004 out at Lake Mead that time of year the boat ran much faster than in the middle of summer.
I talked withGrant and I know how he felt about the boat.
