We are in final stages of wrapping up the tooling on our 39...
The hull and deck are done. We are finalizing the console and helm seat for the Open version.... What you see here is NOT the final T top and console design.....
I have been deeply involved in the design, but the final shapes and making it all come together are being done by some very strong names in the design world....

Look'in good so far

At least you still have a boat Chuck. ;)
I have two daughters as well and converted by 28 hole in the water to a 36 in the ground.... :evilb: I still have a dock too ! ;)

I can't say I regret it though. The whole family gets more use out of this then my smokey Mercury Racing OB's ! :drink:

Looks real nice Tim

Thanks Chuck.
The wife and kids really enjoy the pool while I get to maintain my two ponds and a stream at the sound of two waterfalls....
My wife was so against the ponds, but it was something I personally wanted to build and enjoy every minute of it... :drink:

Thanks Brian.
I figured if I can't be out on the water or live on the water, I might as well bring the water to where I live..... Dock and all.... ;)

I like the looks of the ponds around the pool, cool.

I got to spend the afternoon on a 39' Nor-Tech CC with Terry Sobo during the St. Pete Run and it was an amazing piece! A custom took delivery of one that day as well and it was equally beautiful. The gold one we were on rode like a dream and had it has some serious performance. The fit and finish is second to none.
Kudos to Terry and the whole Nor-Tech team for taking it to the next level. It truly is a great blend of performance, luxury cruiser, fishability and center console utility.

As an option, yes.
Both of these boats have them.

bill63 04-04-2011 10:10 AM

Terry what speed did you get out of the quad boat ?

salesmanship 04-04-2011 10:14 AM

We had to get it to the customer before we had chance to dial it in. The boat comes back tomorrow and we'll have some time to play with it. As soon as we're done I'll post some speeds.

The old story you pay for what you get.. Their pricing is in line with other brands.

HTRDLNCN 04-04-2011 10:52 AM

Quad Verados with rigging alone will put you close to $80k ..
Its a big baller world these days..

salesmanship 04-04-2011 12:13 PM

We'll have our 34 out soon.
Twin engines will do and a lower price too!

The quad nor tech is awesome! The tan interior really looks good. (saw it today)

We started laying up a new 33 Active Thunder Evolution last week. It's slated for a pair of 300 Yamaha Outboards.

We are pretty excited about it. We've got several interesting irons in the fire this year.
