ok Dan,
a 2000 32 AT with 502MPI's (415HP) will run 75.4 gps.
Now let's add 1 ft., step the hull, and add 20 more hp (496ho's), and about the same weight, and now you get the new 33 AT.
Realistically, a generous 3 mph gain, right??

I guess I could be missing something....a step hull makes a huge difference???
.... but to the question at hand.....you really can't go wrong with any of the boats mentioned above...

The AVH hull is very efficient. I am using no more fuel per hour in my 37 than I did with my 290 PQ and I am cruising 10-15 mph faster. Add to that the ride quality and the ability to maintain higher speeds in rough conditions.....it is a hard set up to beat.
It must be one of two things.....either you know what you are getting and do not want anyone else to have one......or you really do not know what you are getting
Harry's hull (DDC) kicks but

I would like your opinion on an Awesome 38 cat. I don't want to cut in on this thread. Cats wasn't the question here, but I wanted to make contact with you and hear your thoughts.
Name a thread and I'll start it.
