Totally agree, but we need to have some fun and a little"BS"
I from Norway, and Jassman I se you have a good taste in style,quality and performance. The guys who made your boat
are Norwegians. It so cool that they have made souch a sucsess "over there". In Norway it lives 4 million people
all together. Not so many of us, of course a lot of Norwegians
went to US 100 - 200 years ago. NORTECH keep up the good work and make us in the old country proud

Hi again
There are a few prefromance boats in Norway like: Nortech,
Fountain,Donzi,Baja,Scarab and Formula. Not to many. There are several reasons why preformance boats are not in a big number I will mention two of them:
1. Gaz price 1 Gal = 10 Dolars
2. Envirement duty = 25 usd (ex 25%vat) each HP ex: My engine 454 330 HP = 25 x 330 = 8250 + 25% = 10312 usd in duty. See my point ???
But there are some boats and we have fantastics fjords and oceans like the North Sea. Could on a stormy day be a challange even for Fountains *S*.
This is some links to a couple of nice Norwegian powerboats:
http://www.hydrolift.com/
http://www.goldfishboat.com/
And we are proud of this team:
http://www.spiritofnorway.com/news.asp
and this:
http://www.uglandoffshoreracing.com/
To races are in Norway every year one in Oslo and one in Arendal.
Check this out some nice videos at the race sites.
Now it 14 degres or -10 Celsius outside, I have to get through a long vinter before i can go boating agian

Monaco 20, that's a real good looking Formula you just bought. Back in the 80's a good friend of mine bought an identical boat to yours. It was ALOT of fun in the rough water and it handled it like a snow plow through a pile of snow.
Congrats with it and be safe.

Beautiful European stying on the Norweigian boats!
I read an article about the Spirit of Norway boat and its Lambo V-12 engines. Interesting how they limit horsepower in certain race classes by restricting the size of the air intake nozzles. See those curved intake tubes facing forward? I think they are limited to 66 mm diameter!!

We'd better get back on topic or start a new thread. Nice boats. But competition would be tough due to import costs of such large objects. Still there are wealthy buyers out there who like to have something unique so who knows???

Just wanted to add that every fountain that I have been in which has been 5 from 27 to a new 07 38 w/700's has been able to reproduce the number from the test report which was done at the factory. I would never have thought that a 38 w/700's would run 114.7, but it did. Think I would still take a Skater V over a fountain though. All boats mentioned are awesome boats, even the AT's.....just messing with you Brian!!
