Wild did not get in the water long enough to check them out. We were tied up in the cove just off from the dock. Chevy was tied up with us though, and he checked them out thoroughly - he really liked them. Water was OK - we were in for an hour or so. Should be perfect in another couple weeks.

If the seller is serious about selling he will provide a test ride.

Well put....Two different rides for two different types of people. Look at the quality of both, and then the price for what you are getting. If buying used then it's what ever you can get from the individual seller's. If new, Nortech will be going to a vacuum bag infused resin process which will lighten the boat and create more speed. The Nortech will also be 2-3' longer, so keep that in mind, the boat is actually 44.6. Good Luck in what ever your decision is, you can't go wrong either way. Jeff

Any inputs here would be helpful as I narrow down my top two choices.

BTW, I know about cabin and amentities so only looking for ride/driving comparisons and anything else anyone has to offer.

Thanks,
Dave

Dave have spent much time in both, I take care off a lot of performance boats one of them is a 43 tripple nt with 625s super ride in any conditions the bigger the better. oh and by the way this boat is for sale,owner wants a new one please contact me if your intrested. lee
