Your friend could get or already probably has an endorsment if he plays with artist's of that calibre. What is his name?

the kit in my avitar with hardware and Zildjian or Paiste or Sabian high end cymbals would probably sell at a dealer somewhere around $7-9k. It had a lot of products on it.

take care, Mike

I just purchased a 2000 42' fountain Lightning from Michigan and trailered it down to Sarasota, Fl. with (57) Fresh water hours and not a scratch on it. My friend has a new 36 concept with verados which I like, but now he wants mine! Center Consoles here are for fishers. I buy my fish at Publix!

That's what I have been trying to tell these fools :p (just kidding for all you sensitive types out there) But looking at the poll I think Steve might have to change the site to centerconsolesonly.com :eek:

I'll be honest here. When I went to Nortech, I almost switched at the last minute. My wife who fish's a hell of a lot more than I, said before I left with the deposit $, I really like that 43 Nortech CC, but its your dream, go ahead and get another go fast. She really tried to make me feel bad. :rolleyes: The facts are.... they are easier to maintain. Don't have to have a big fancy paint job. Dual purpose, just as fast, just really no over nighting, and how many people really over night. 80 mph in a 43', twin diesel with awesome mileage, in a super big and comfortable wave crusher of a ride. When I retire I would like a 80 Nortech to cruise and sleep on as one of my residencies, a 43 or by then a 39 CC and a 36 cat, that would resolve all my problems and keep everyone happy in our family . :cool: :D Jeff

This is a tough call. I currently have a 42 Sonic with tripp 500s, but I have been toying with the CC idea for over a year. I know just as soon as I buy one I'm going to miss the rush. But I'm sure tired of working on this thing, and trying to cram 8 to 10 people in a cockpit built for 5. :confused:

I visited the Verado website trying to find the fuel consumption numbers for various engine loads and did not see it. Anyone know the numbers?
