The biggest difference is that an 87 or newer has an island berth and the bunks are in a L-shape rather then over under. Diesels are very rare, i believe there was only 6 made, all with 3208's. It is a rather slow boat, but no other 37' is as wide and offers as much cabin space. My fathers is for sale, its in maryland, but it has gas motors. If you want to ever take a look at it, let me know.

been on a few eggs...one 37' it was a slow,hard riding dog in plain words

i can't imagine how much fuel a gas powered rig of that size would burn-you could probably use the fuel guage as a fan.....

I imagine it comes from the boat having flat aftersections and a 9 degree aft deadrise. I'm sure it was done to get as much speed as possible for the big girl, and with the relatively small cockpit it had some cruising in mind instead of some hardcore fishing.

Jawz12, I like the fan comment

Were any of the Eggs ever known for their great ride?
