    Nice looking boat, and an outstanding tour. I never really looked into Great Harbor before, but now they are on my radar. They seem well built and well designed. This 37 seems like it would be a nice little coastal cruiser. I'd probably want something with a deeper draft, more range, and less windage to try cross an ocean, but this boat looks like more than enough to comfortably reach the islands off of the east coast of Florida, or the Gulf coast, Mexico, or South America.

    Have to say, WOW...I liked the presentation shown here...and after seeing it, had to look at one (used) to see what they were about. That said, I couldn't find a 37...but the 47 was NICE. LOVE the actual interior decor and floorplan! It is actually 'perfect' for a retired couple to live-aboard on...not too large, not too small...and best off, a 10-year old GH47 is pricing around $500k, which is a good used 'like-new' pricepoint. THAT SAID, I noticed that a few of the ceiling fiberglass panels were 'curving' due to aging (they are replaceable though)...and those Yanmar's are SERIOUSLY under-powered for that vessel (even as a channel-runner). It also has a SERIOUSLY SHALLOW DRAFT! I really don't think that was even 3-ft of draft, actually...so yeah, you could just about go anywhere called 'river' in it, but the opposing view on that (I didn't get to experience any 'weather' or 'rough seas' in it) is that after seeing the shallow draft, I was VERY unnerved at the stability in, say, 7-10 ft seas in it (especially when it only had what, 140-total horsepower?)...shallow draft, low horsepower equals NOT SET UP for anything beyond rivers or the Sargasso sea...Yes, it has the bow to cut right through 10-ft seas...but if you get broadside FOR A SECOND, I am not sure how the keel is weighted to 'keep you upright' in a hard list. My only actual complaint I even saw had to do with the fact that my wife and I love diving (SCUBA), and there's just no real room aft to work with tanks or if you surface air dive...would have been nice to have a larger aft deck or cockpit (that wasn't so high and enclosed) or...well...they aren't made anymore, but it didn't fit that requirement for us...very unfortunate, loved the overall layout. 1. More Engine 2. A bit more draft for the height 3. Larger aft deck (for water access)...

    500 hp wouldn't make it go appreciably faster. Displacement boats just don't do that. It has positive stability to 110° so if it's knocked down it will come back up. Stability is in the design, not how it appears.

    @@rnordquest - as a retired mechanical engineer, I get the concept of 'Center of Gravity'...but not having seen 'distribution data' on the mass, all I could say was 'doesn't LOOK stable in appreciable seas'. As for more power, my point was to forward propulsion in higher tides and currents...not really sure what you mean by 'displacement' boats...all boats have displacement, and if you're referring to 'Hull Speed' or 'Displacement Speed', this is a VERY antiquated term that really doesn't apply to power boats as much as sail boats as a function of speed limitations by wave formation due to motion (formula is 1.34 x Sq Root of the waterline length). More power gives you more 'push' which gives you better ability to 'power' your way through seas. 100-hp will push you along at 5-kts...but 200-hp will push you at 10-kts...500-hp won't push you much beyond 15-kts (with a beam like that, anyway) but it WILL give you something you need in headwaters...TORQUE to the propeller, which makes for FORWARD MOTION...if it didn't, you wouldn't see 50-ft Nordhavn's with 1800-hp TWIN Caterpillars on them...it's not all about speed...it's about forward motion! A great comparison mv is the Grand Banks 47 EU...it has TWO Cat C-7's making a combined 900 horsepower, can do 20-kts, but with 600-gallons total fuel capacity, it is nothing but a VERY expensive Great Loop boat...

I'd have it on the rivers of middle America (Mississippi River, Minnesota River, Ohio River, Missouri River, Arkansas River, Tennessee River, etc. etc. etc. and they're all connected.) Or maybe Lake Superior.

    Some of the Dumbest and ILL Educated comments I’ve ever witnessed. My GH 37 is stable as a parking lot and rolls once than stops after encountering a wake broadside . As far as being under powerd my GH will do 7 knots using only 1800 rpms of its available 2800 from its 57 horse Yanmars while only burning 1 gph per a engine. The interior is a matter of preference but I’ve built boats for almost 45 years and can say it is one of thee most properly constructed and thought out boats out there . The fiberglass lap paneling is genius for upkeep and durability and frankly is what made my wife and I fall in Love with our Little Cottage on the water.
