Nordic 35 Flame for offshore Use?

Seems like a great boat. Would you buy one if most of your boating is done in the Pacific? Thanks so much.

I use mine in the Atlantic all the time, great boat. I bought mine in LA back in 2004. BTW, mine is for sale!

I bought three 35 Nordic's and loved all three of them. Best performance boat value period. Style, speed and overall performance is hard to beat for the money.

I like them a lot and they seemed priced right. Just wondering how they handle offshore conditions...

Dean says his handles offshore water very well. I suspect much over 5 feet and you'd be throttling back though...

Better than you might think. I did a lot of Poker Runs over the last 12 years (ocean and lakes) with no problems.

I will say the 35 Nordic is a solid 92 MPH boat with stock 525's. I know the boat in the classifieds, it's a solid 100MPH boat and clean as a whistle. Owner is a hands on detail guy.
