I dont think its a 24 degree hull, and it has a pad of some sort I believe. Im sure its a good rough water boat, but not near as deep, built, and as heavy as the formula. Look at the pic of it running with all those guys. They have quite a bit of torso sticking above the sides. I would get a deeper boat if I could. AT33

Would you like to elaborate??? Are you talking about construction? As I said in my original post, they both have the key things that I want in a boat and they are in the same price range with the same motors. I would say that they are very comparable!!

I'm a Formula owner, know nothing about Nordic, but I'm going to say look at Active Thunder. If you're buying a new boat, and "RESALE VALUE" as you have it capitalzed is a big consideration, you're not going to be happy with anything in this market.

My comment on the ride comes from the guy that used to sell them at LOTO some time ago. One of the reasons they didn't catch on down there was that they didn't do as well in the slop of the main channel as other boats of similar size. It is not that they were not good in rough water, rather it was that they were not as good as some of their counterparts at the lake. That was 10 years ago or so. Things could be different today. That is why a sea trial of both boats should be a must to see what you think.
