It was and is a lot if fun with some of the coolest people too. The weather and the conditions were just perfect too.Man, we've been wanting to do this but it always falls on the same weekend as the Cig run in LOTO. Looks like another great run to Catalina!!
Sounds like the 37 ran liked a rape ape in the big blue Tony!
Same...I really want to goto this one year.. problem is I don’t have a boat suitable for it.
Was it a PITA to handle around docs, and trailer? Never had a boat that big.
DO IT!
Well I guess that answers my earlier questions regarding cats in the ocean.... maybe I don't see many in Newport simply cause folks are a bit sensitive to salt damage with Tony's artwork. Not to mention those Adrenaline trailers and what salt would do to them as well.Man, we've been wanting to do this but it always falls on the same weekend as the Cig run in LOTO.

No it handled really well around the docks. I actually felt it was easier to maneuver than our 27 with twins. I think it has to do with the electronic throttles in it. Trailering it, it's big, but we towed it back and forth to Mead every trip for 5+ years. The trailer tows really well and is really easy to work around the ramp.
but my new truck..... lol
The salt washes off and 99% of our customers would never put their boats in the salt water. The 37 was perfect out there. light and fast enough to make it there is about 30 minutes and around 35 miles from where we took off out of Newport.
Just a shame all those customers are missing out on the ocean experience. Its like owning a hyper car and keeping her in the garage. How can ya not run 'em
Well you know to each their own and our boats are so nice, a lot of the owners think the ocean and the salt water will get into places that you can't clean... This is why these outboard boats are so versatile... It was great and looking forward to it again in October.I would say it's like owning a hyper car and only running it on short tracks. Need to take it to the Nurburgring and let it rip once in awhile.
I have on just for you for this LOLI really want to goto this one year.. problem is I don’t have a boat suitable for it.
You are welcome to have it back with one new engine only selling because I bought another boat
I do spend several hours in the engine compartment and cleaning the drives of our Fountain after every use. You have to commit time to the effort and the boat stays nice, the steel trailer on the other hand. 
I will for sure... You would love it! See you soon
I swore on my second boat I'd not allow myself to be so anal and just enjoy the thing rather than be such a clean freak. I'd say I did much better and wasn't such a slave to cleanliness on this last one. I never went into engine bay and for sure it showed.... Belt dust and whatever else collects down in there.... never effected the performance and I was much happier overall. It was a lesson in stress reduction.... and isn't that really what these toys are meant to do. That lesson took years to learn.Well, then they're not very good at cleaning.
Oh absolutely I get it and I didn't mean to imply you were being overly anal, lol..... to each their own on all this stuff for sure.
