Re: Carver C37 Minimum Power
Just my opinion, but that seems kind of light on power for an 18,000 lb boat.

Re: Carver C37 Minimum Power
Here's a link from boating mag. Shows mercuuiser gas 320hp 's and max speed at apx 39mph. I don't know how often anyone will be doing this but that's pretty good.

Re: Carver C37 Minimum Power
There are a couple things to consider though......I believe the newer hull design is one thing and it appears to have a very steep entry that possible increases the LWL. That would allow it to run with less power I believe,.... also there is no big windage items to deal with such as a bridge and canvas.......much more sleek design.
There are a few people here with these boats so it will be interesting to hear from them especially if they have the same engine package. Sea trial will show.
