Hey Pat,
That's flat water! Too bad there was no footage of the day you and I went 60 mph head long into those 6 footers in the Gulf! Didn't we get a 4 count from the time the boat left the water until we landed again? The AVH 37 is the best rough water boat I've been in. It takes the rough better that my friends 45 Donzi! Hate to sound like advertising, but, how does Pat say it, "It only takes one ride"?

As for the losses, some people have a higher threshold than others. I would not jump to any conclusions on that count.

Moving to a larger boat, 2 weeks left before it goes to the broker, the Emerald Coast PR will be my last run before it gets dropped off. Trades accepted, or can repower, and I possibly can hold a small amount of funds. So if you are looking for an awesome boat, and want to save thousands over a 2004, this boat is for you, 235K with all the toys, Generator, 3rd bolster,ect., 170K NO power, or we can build you a specified HP, or repower with Mercruiser through Total Marine and Performance, your A.T. Dealer. Make an offer, you never know. Thanks Jeff.

Motors are possibly sold, will let the boat go with drives, generator and all the extra's for 160k, so if anyone is interested let me know before the Emerald Coast PR, thanks Jeff

both lowers were rebuilt by IMCO. Drive oil is changed with the engine oil at every 10 hours, no abnormal metal shavings have been found, boat has 65 hours on them, 16 since rebuilt. The rpms have also been lowered as to when putting in gear its around 900-1000 rpms, not 1200, that will help also, plus x dimension was changed on the boat, 1 - 1/2 spacers went in to get up on plane quicker. I believe it was also bad gears, along with all the possible things that could have attribituted to the faliure, and most important, I'm the only one driving the boat, now, and yes, the 525's shouldn't be a problem.
