Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

I have heard that there is going to be a lot of new boats there Nordic 42' cat and 43' offshore deep v. I would love to see pics if anyone has them.

That cat looks a lot like the mti cats. I cant wait to see more pics of it. The nordic v looks sweet also , they are going to have a good year.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Went yesterday, but forgot my camera (sorry IlmoreDude)! Some really nice looking stuff.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Yes and the 32 Cat will be out in Spring. The Big V is a 47 Nordic CYCLONE. CYCLONE RACE BOATS ( A championship race boat company in Europe) was purchased by Nordic Powerboats, they relocated the entire factory and staff to the US to produce these under the Nordic name.

I have posted some pics in the Nordic and MCPA forums.
The show was awesome!

The V bottom is from Australia, Ross Wilson design.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

I was a bit disappointed in the Nordic cat. Boat wasn't finished, although the design looked good. The V didn't look finished off either as far as rigging and details, but at least the back seat was in it.

I was also disappointed in the Laveycraft quality this year. Two years ago it was flawless. You had to really look for any defects. The decks were completely flat. The interior fit like a glove. This year, it looked a bit sloppy, like they hired a bunch of new people who didn't really know what they were doing. The Baja looked better built this year to me.

Prices seem to have shot up this year. $82K for a 26' Baja, and that's the show special?:eek: Entry level offshore is getting out of reach for many people.

The new 700SCi Merc package was there. It has aluminum heads, new higher strength drive with dry sump that slots between the Bravo and Six, and, of course, the blower.

Mercury Marine says they are scrambling to meet the new '08 emission standards for California for 500 hp or less. They are trying to get catalytic converters to last in a marine environment. I'd avoid an '08 engine myself until they have some field time, because I think there may be a good chance problems could come up later. We'll see.

Other notables: Cigarette Top Gun 38, a well used 30' Skater cat, and two Fountains.

A lot of manufacturers are scrambling to make a show. Some such as Eliminator, had to have at least 12 boats built, polished and delivered to the show, in addition to their regular production work.

The Nordic Cat was just finished on Thursday morning and they have the interior in it now.

A lot of work goes into just getting to the show. Especially when one adds that its a new model they want to show off. The 55' MTI was the same way at the Miami show last year.

The Nordic V runs, it was just solid white and needs some color.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Correct....and yes the cat and Big V are not yet completely finished ....they just made it to the show in time as in the present state.....at least they had them there.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Nordic is just getting started, just wait untill the cats are done.

Interior Pics of the Nordic 47 Cyclone......

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

I didn't notice the problems with Laveycraft. There're boats are almost always flawless.

Although I may be a little bias :D - I thought the best boat of the show (in terms of bang for buck) was the staggered 35 Fountain Lightning. $188,000 for 93 MPH in a fully loaded 35 foot package....

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Nordic 43 Cat interior.......

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

I thought that big Nordic V was pretty impressive. I always think of Nordic as a lake boat company. I dug the solid white too.

I'd never seen a Laveycraft in person before. I was blown away by the fit and finish on that boat as well as the common sense that went into the rigging and ammenaties.

We were pretty disappointed that Formula didn't see fit to bring a single performance boat.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

I'm suprised no one has commented on the bottom of the V. It has no strakes, but yet it is not a straight dihedral bottom.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

The boat is sitting on the floor (no trailer) in the back corner of the hall. It's kind of hard to see the bottom! I'm sorry I missed it.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

No....I am not familiar with that boat. I was not at the show. I posted pics sent to us from the factory for the Nordics as we are the East Coast dealer for NORDIC / CYCLONE and ADRENALINE as well.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

The 47 is killer and is a fantastic rough water boat. Nordic started in 1966 building jet boats for lake and river applications. Over the years they have expanded to ocean running boats. They won several Catalina skee race championships which take place on ocean waters. We have several Nordics running ocean water on the East Coast and they run very well. Up until now the 35V was their largest offering but now have developed a 32 Cat ( available late Spring), 43 Cat, 42 V and a 47 Race / Poker Run . Also new in the line up is their 26 deck boat and the 27 Thor Cat. The new owner Randy Davis has revamped the entire company since his take over a little over a year and a half ago. His goal has been to offer state of the art, high quality machines at resonable pricing. He seems to be well on his way to achieving that goal.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Is Lonnie still around? I used to deal with him alot back when I had the dealership up here in Syr. N.Y.. Great guy and alota fun

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Yup he is still running things. Great guy to deal with.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

WOW! The hull of that cat sure looks a lot like a Skater!! :rolleyes:

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

And the deck like an MTI, besides the middle part.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

where can more info about the clyclone line be found?

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

I think you are all wrong, the 43' looks like the as-yet unreleased 42' Spectre that Scott Conrad is building.....:cool:

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Saw photos of the big Spectre at the show. Looks like a serious hot rod! I guess we'll find out in a month or so.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

thats sleek looking ,anymore picks?

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Right now through dealers like us. Much more info will follow in the weeks and months ahead.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

I will try to get more pics up as I get them.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

I'm thinking if you dropped that boat into a Skater mold it just might fit!:eek: :rolleyes:

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

You're correct. That is a Skater bottom. Nordic purchased the rights to use it from them. They tooled the top themselves. At least that is the way Nordic explained it to me.

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

thanks :drink:

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

Hmm, well, if that is the case, cool! If not.....UH-OH!:eek:

Re: Has anyone taken pics at the LA boat show
 

No worries there Tank....Randy Davis is straight up.
The 47 is supposed to be great for the Catalina ski race too, word has it the wake is great for the skier...
