Hi-
I presently have a 2003 280 Sundancer, and am looking for a larger boat. I have looked at 34's in the 1999 to 2002 and really liked the boat, but I am intruiged by the late 90's 370 as well. I like the extra beam and the stall shower, as we tend to be destination boaters and stay on the boat a lot. I have not been aboard a 37 yet, so do not have the benefit of being in the boat, but the layout looks great. Trying to decide which way to go to............
Are there any 370 Owners that could give me some insight, into the following:

Are there any 370 Owners that could give me some insight, into the following:
- Speed- What is cruise with Gas Engines? Cruise with Diesels?
- Fuel Consumption- GPH for Gas? GPH for Diesel?
- Boat Handling- Are you happy with how it handles in rougher water? Are you happy with handling in close quarters (docking)?
- Problems- Are there any problems associated with this model to look for?
- Any other insights would be welcome!
