LOOKING TO BUILD RACE BOAT DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY INFO ON RAGE POWERBOATS THEIR LOCATED IN BRIDGEPORT CT. IM FROM RHODE ISLAND GOT INFO FROM A FRIEND,MET WITH CO- OWNER RICH STROFFOLINO TODAY DOES ANYBODY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT REPUTATION??? ARE THEY GOOD ??:evilb:

The other owner may be Mark Schnepf, who used to build Activators and sold the company. I ran into him one day on the Port Jeff/Bridgeport ferry and he told me that he was going to be building a new line of boats based in Bridgeport. Activators are great rough water boats.

Never heard of them. Im from CT but in RI. If your looking for a real race boat come over to Outerlimits.

mark schnepf is one of the other co - owners i met him on saturday at their shop ,i was very impressed with their operation they've got some very cool jobs going on right now . one of the jobs is a 36 nor tech that they've completely re- done i got to watch some of the work been done. the motor building operation is 2nd to none can't wait to get this baby going!!!

I took a tour of their shop last year when they were just setting up. Very impressinve. I have heard all positive comments about these guys.

Don't have any personal experience, but the people who recommended them to me are old friends and very experienced in this industry.

I would say go for it.

what sze boat are you looking at and whar are they building for sizes len and wid, cat or vee???

They did some work on my 28 PP. Very happy with what they did. They also redid a 50' Cougar last year named Hyper Active

I saw some pics of it the other day. The new windscreen looks great

What are they doing to a windscreen on a Nor-Tech cat?? They dont have wrap around windshields and the only open canopy boat is in Canada.

made another pit stop at their shop today got a better look at plug, boat looks like a keeper great lines. would love an outerlimits but price tag is a bit steep. got a mini education on engine packages from co- owner rich stroffolino he really seems to know his stuff. had the expeirence of meeting owner of 50 ft cougar they re- did last year he was very happy with service when boat had a few minor issues. customer services is always a plus , at my next stop ill try to post some pics of their other work i think all will be impressed. clark

This one does bro..same as the cougar's. Was the old hooters raceboat in a previous life

That'd be the only one which is owned by someone in Canada. He's a member on here.

here are some pics of the custom windscreen they put on the boat

The owner of this particular boat is from New Haven, CT. If memory serves me correctly there were two Nortech raceboats owned by Steve Page

Any info/drawings of Rage's new lineup?

Are they still going to use JC Performance, like activator did?

No...located in CT. Hopefully Rich will chime in here about his lineup

The Name of the shop is North East Performance Marine their boat line is RAGE from the looks of it he will pop a boat out real soon
I had the tanks in my 32 done by them last spring along with all new floor and some really tricky paint touch ups on my 32 Skater he really sticks to his time lines as long as you show up with the Cash$$
he told me 6 weeks and I actually got it back sooner!
I was just there yesterday the 36 Nor Tec was all buffed and ready for rigging it was outside it looks sick!
and they were rolling in a 42X for paint work

I found a picture of the Nor Tech with the windsheild before paint

Spent Day At Shop Watching Rich And Mark Continue Work On Plug Looks Like Dash Is Coming Together Well,think Ive Finally Decided On Motor Package For This Beast. Boys Are Very Confident Of Speeds This Boat Could Reach,question Remains Can Driver Handle It????cya Soon Clark

I've always though that Nor-Tech's little bitty wind fairings were wrong for the boats and speeds, especially for the cats. This one looks right.

Paint is awesome too, looks like these guys are the real deal.

Nice work guys! Looks awesome!
