Looking for a boat that doesn't exist apparently
 

Hello all, first time posting...

I have been looking all over for a boat with the following criteria...

A) 30-38'
B) Tons of bow seating (with sunpad if possible)
C) Tons of aft seating
D) Goes 80mph
E) New
F) Great deal
G) Includes ammenities such as fridge, grill, etc.

I have been looking at center consoles but am open to other options. This boat will not be fished and will be in fresh water.

I need recommendations from the experts...

Thanks guys!!!

Contact Nortech/Active Thunder or other small custom builders. You can have anything you want......with enough money.

That wipes out great deal! But that is a relative term

Are you saying you want an open bow boat, with a sun pad over the "mid-cabin" as well? Where do you live/boat?

Advantage 32 BR is about the only one that pops into my mind

Sunsation 288' 32' 36' Mid cabin open bow for a regular V bottom or they are building a new CC right now also

The only thing it falls short on is the 80mph (should run upper 70's)

You can build one with a single set of bolsters and a U shaped rear seat as well.

Have a Sunsation 36' mcob built with the side by side motors so you can get more cockpit area. Trade the grill brainstorm for one of them "hot doggers" they sell to snowmobilers that strap to the exhaust and use the heat to cook the food LOL

I would cut the 80mph out of that criteria. It just doesn't go with the rest of the criteria. You won't be able to seat people in the bow at those speeds and any full cabin will liley fall apart at those speeds. There's a reason why you don't see that stuff on go-fast.

With that being said I like the Scout 345 XSF, Pursuit 310 sport, Midnight Express 37 or 39 cabin.

We have a new walkthrough 33 Active Thunder in development now, per a specific customer request. It will be a walk through design; not a mid cabin. Decision has not been made to go with OB or IO power at this point, but with a pair of 525s, this boat should run 90+. We are excited about the new project.

Thats exciting news. Is it going to be like a dual console boat? I think that would be a great addition. Make a 33 with option for center console, dual console walk thru, or cabin, OB's or IO.

Went to the Nor-Tech factory and talked with Terry Sobo in great detail about what I want, I think the Nor-Tech 340 CC is what I'm looking for. he said that they could custom build what I'm looking for.

I do my boating up in Michigan.

The wife is skeptical due to the cost. Still working on it.

Nor-tech builds a helluva boat.

Oh, and here's the other thing, likely the ONLY time I would go that fast is if I was doing a long cross-lake trip with a buddy or two and we were all in the helm seats - I think going that fast with a cabin full of people would be a life-trauma experience for kids / wives / etc., so that would never happen. It's more about capability. If I want to do it I can.

I want this boat to be incredibly capable.

Like I said I was really impressed with Nor-Tech. Basically any ideas I had they said "yes". That's pretty awesome.

How fast do you think you can get he new Forumla Sunsports to go if you went with big power and surface dives

Good deal. They build a helluva boat. Their cabin-in-center-console setup is awesome. Good luck with your decision & the wife-sway!

They've built a few 400SS with Ilmor 725's and running in the 70's :drool1:

How about a tri-toon with a 525? :)

Call Jack at Jaguar Marine he has something that will work very well for your needs.
