Burnt NorTech
 

These pics were just emailed to me. Anyone know the boat or the details about the fire. The email I got had the story leaning toward drunk go fasters have more money than brains and this is the result type of sound to it. :rolleyes:

Thanks

Normally fire is a mechanical failure of some sort, hard for "dumb" to create fire, unless they hit something. Normally a generator or AC unit gets clogged, looks like fire started in engine compartment so that would support mechanical failure??

I think that boat spent some time on LOTO, but I'm not positive. don't know anything about the fire though.

JZ

Isn't that the one with the wrap on it that was for sale on here REAL cheap about a year ago with that sketchy guy from out at LOTO selling it? The same guy who ripped all the guys on the landcruiser forum off?

It was parked next to us on LOTO over the 4th of July I believe. No clue on the fire....

Greek lightning strikes again ???

I think that is the same nortech that has been sitting at American Yacht Sales for a while. I believe it is a 50. The story I heard was some kids stole the stereo at the dock and the bare cables started a fire which led to that. Not sure if it is the truth but it is what I heard. Sucks because I bet it was awesome!

The boat was on a trailer at my marina here in Clear Lake Texas. It has been here for about a year. It was very rough under the wrap. I know the owner. The first run out they blew an engine. I think that was repaired and they blew another one. The story on the fire was: it was parked after some repairs to the engines on the trailer and someone tried to steal the radio/electronics and shorted something out causing the fire. I saw the boat after the fire and it is a total loss.

That totally suks Dude ,has he given up on boating or found another one ?

Jim Darrs old boat AKA Wiggler!

Dose any one no what it hade for power I bid on it at cooper salavge I just wanted the power

nortech 50, believe they were 650 trips

Thats what I thought but the guys at cooper salavge told me they were 550 hp 454 with blowers and they told me that it had bravo 1s with XR stickers on them I think some one was full of:bsflag:

Wiggler's 50 had trip Nortech 800's or 850's. I don't know if its the same boat or not.

Jays, your information was correct. They were stickers.

he had taken this 50 in on trade for the 50 with 6's and 850's

Didn't know he had a second one. Here's a pic from the 2006 Shootout weekend of the old one's power.

Wow, I almost took that boat on trade for my 2000 42 OL. I sure am glad that I didn't.

still no info on what the power was in the boat
