    Considering buying this model but I am concerned about it being under powered. It's powered by gasers, Mercruiser 454's 330 hp. Anyone have this combination?
    What is cruise speed and WOT? Any overall comments about the boat itself?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to YF, Flick.
    The Official Bertram Factory numbers have your 37 topping out at 31/33 mph (4100/4300 rpm) and cruising at 20/22 mph (3000/3200 rpm).
    These reflect a boat with 2/3 fuel & water, 6 people, 1,000# gear, no 13' Boston Whaler on the foredeck, and no 25' tuna tower.

    This is a tightly-built (carbon fiber hardtop/flybridge base), fast, dry-running boat purposefully constructed to crash around comfortably in good-sized seas.
