Default Demo Run

Hey guys, I have been looking at buying a new 37 from Pat. They are beautiful boats. I have always been a cigarette guy and i currently own one. But after reading all of ATs threads i feel like this is the biggest bang for the buck. I am flying to the factory next week and would like some insight on Pats Incredible Demo ride. LOL I am wondering if i need to prepare my wife for a heart attack...LOL

If everything goes well yall may have another member for the miami boat show run.

Opinions: 525 or 600

I've only heard about the demo runs and love the boat...there have been 6 37's owned near me the last couple years and have run with all of them at times. Stay with the 525's......for that hull it's the best bang for the buck!!!!

Hope for some east wind and an outgoing tide at Hillsboro Inlet and you'll see what it's all about
My recomendation is to go with the 525s.

Hey Jeff: Welcome.

Pat and I have been chatting daily about your visit & rescheduled visit.

You will have fun in FL. Pat's not going to scare your wife. He knows what he is doing and he can you tell you exactly how the boat is going to react 1 mile before you get there. I'll admit he raised MY eyebrows laying the sticks down, turning the wheel, and launching off of a 4-5 foot trawler wake in Key West a couple years ago. Coupled with the fact that he crossed his arms at the same time. Regardless, the boat just landed and carved a beautiful turn.

Enjoy; and let me know what I can do to help.

525's are your best bet in my opinion.

go with the 525s with 28 pitch 5 blades, unless you have money to waste. You will never get the extra money back out of the boat. My boat ran 88mph stock before i put the whipples on it, Should have left it that way....
