36 nor-tech
 
Has anyone been in a 40 or 42 MTI as well as a 40 Skater that can compare at 120 mph-150mph...

Joedecon 08-01-2007 04:06 PM

Finishing up the day in the office, looking forward to getting out on the boat this weekend. Nice to meet you guys last week. Like the porsche by the way.....

Hey Joe!!

Joedecon 08-01-2007 04:19 PM

I am on-line looking for you, when you coming home. We have to be boating on Friday...

Joedecon 08-01-2007 04:22 PM

We have to set up a sea trial on an MTI November when we do the run to Key West... I need to find out the truth about these boats.

Be down Friday afternoon, my other buddy Mark will be down with Mrs Mark, he rides the F1000.

JoeD will have his motor back. Looks like we can splash the Outerlimits this weekend. Now he will have 2 motors.

Pro1 08-01-2007 04:27 PM

You know I am kinda curious myself. I have never even seen an MTI in NJ. Never mind ride in one.

Joedecon 08-01-2007 04:36 PM

Going to Moms B-day party tonight, should get crazy. I will call you in the car....

Joedecon 08-01-2007 04:37 PM

What's the ???? Between Skater and MTI or is Nor Tech in there too??
I've ran all of them.:cool-smiley-011:

Buddy OO 08-01-2007 06:38 PM

all three are great boats, have been in all, owned a 36 nortech, so has weapon X, are you wanting to know about ride quality, the 36 nortech is actually around 38' and rides nice at 120mph, I drove randy's 1075merc 42 mti and it was very solid at high speeds, ran it up to 155mph . the skater 40 is a bit heavier than the others and will handle bigger water better than the other 2, Skaters are built as good as any boat period. Nortech has a cabin and is has a little more family friendly amenities, the MTI is a rocket, no cabin very small cockpit, the 40 skater no cabin, decent room in the cockpit for 5 people. you will be happy with either of them, depends on your budget and what kind of water you are running in,.

Joedecon 08-01-2007 08:46 PM

Thanks for the info about all boats, I love the ride in my Nor-Tech. My wife gets a little nervous at 120-140mph. I would like to see the stability in a bigger cat. I love the cabin and head in the 43 Nor-Tech but I here the ride cannnot compare to the MTI. I will have to sea trial as well as a bigger Skater

Buddy OO 08-01-2007 09:36 PM

you want a great ride, go with the ultimate the 46 skater, believe it won 5 or 6 world championships dressed in black, Its very hard to beat the styling, performance and amenities of the 36 Nortech.

JoeD 08-02-2007 06:58 AM

joedecon lookin to upgrade ? :party-smiley-048:

Joedecon 08-02-2007 09:38 AM

I love the Nor-Tech, If a make a change the next boat would have to blow me away as far as handling bigger water at high speeds. I am looking forward to finding out....

Joedecon 08-02-2007 12:35 PM

Thats what I am talking about, How is it towing those boats on a tilt trailer(Kenny, you think we could handle that on the Garden State Parkway next summer if we run aground again following you and have to tow the boat home)

dkwestern 08-02-2007 05:38 PM

We do not need any mechanics cause we are not going to break!! We should fly express jet from Westchester.

Jim called this morning said he will be around tonight. Wants to know if we want to run the boats around tonight. I am stuck in the office with lots of work. We are busier than ever.

I sat on the new Ski Doo Rev. Like a Jack I should have ordered one last April.

I will post the pics.
