Hey just wondeirng if anyone looked at the new 37 footers from both companies that hide the outboards inside. Did either company have them in the water?

I looked at the Pursuit closely and walked by the Searay. The 365i was nice and hits high 40s with a pair of Yamaha 350s. It had cleaner lines than the Searay and the sunroof/sliding roof looked great. It also had joystick controls as part of Yamahas new system. Boat show price was 429k

The pursuit has more high end look vs. the sea-ray, They claim similar performance. I was really impressed by the sea-rays cabin, The helm was stylish (although no where to too add screens) and it had joystick operation too. iirc it was priced at about $350k

I don't know how the Pursuit performs but there was a test in Boating magazine of the Sea Ray and it couldn't get on plane until 5000 rpm, it was doing 15mph at 4500 then 31mph at 5000, POS if you ask me. And in reality unsafe, in any rough water you would be forced to run at idle speed and be at the mercy of the waves. For some reason the idiots at boating magazine didn't see that as a problem.

I think if they could figure some way of fixing the prop issue it would be a great setup. most of its problem is prop slip. not enough diameter for that big of a boat.
