nhand,

Thanks for taking the time to look over our website and for taking an interest in the 37 Billfish. For those of you interested, nhand made a comment on our Deck Fitting post. I’d like to answer his questions here. Those seats in the cockpit are designed with a freezer under the port side and a bait and tackle center with sink under the starboard side. The seats have an angled back, so they should be pretty comfortable to sit on. Putting cushions on them will be up to the owner. There is one step up into the lower deck area. This helps with visibility and also keeps water from sloshing all the way forward towards the cabin. Our lower helm is standard, we’re not planning on offering it with a couch over there. The dinette to the port side has a hi-lo table with a filler cushion that will create a large bed-like place to lay when you are running out to the canyon. Or if you don’t want the table at all, you could just take it off and use the port side as the couch. The standard power is twin 480 hp Yanmars. I’m reluctant to give an exact top speed or cruising speed because we really won’t know until it hits the water.

Thanks for your interest,
John Leek IV

Hello Everyone,

It’s been a while since we’ve made any posts, but we’ve been making steady progress on the 37. Here are some pictures of the stringers, molded rudder board, and of the hull being pulled out of the mold. For those of you who would like to comment, don’t hold back, we’d love to hear from you.
