twin 1900 hp diesels and 60+ knots

. . . . i have one of those things on order . . . ya know . . . credit trouble . . . I'm the assistant greens keeper, they say that doesn't mean anything :D

so I said to him.."hey Llaama,how 'bout a little something for the effort"..

Reds boat rocks.

Should see it in person had to put it into prospective untill it's next to another boat.

That Nor-Tech is amazing. I can attest as I got to ride in it for a story in Powerboat a couple of years ago. One of a kind, that's for sure.

there are several videos of them running. take a look at them on Youtube. Notice the wake it leaves. How long and wide, especially compared to when it's running next to another say 35-40'.

The SPX doesn't look to shabby either. :coolcowboy:

Even crazier is the boat is on a lift behind his home.

Isn't that Lady Lisa. If it is the boat is docked in KW at the marina next to the hot pits. Saw it up close and its unreal

That was a great day!!!;)

Reds a real nice guy and Doug Valentine (his capt.) is one of the good ones!

they dont list it, but what is the approx price for this boat, so I know how much I need to withdraw (steal) from the banks next week.

I herd around 4 million...

Ill take three. As soon as I sell my pair of Vehrons. Beautiful boat

I don't think you'll be able to pick one up for 4mil anymore. ;)

did i read that right,80,000 lbs,how do they get it down the road,id love to see that rig in person.

The maintenance cost alone would cost a million plus

Im sure it lives in the water. You either drive it there or have it freighted by ship to your next port.

It is in the water. Like someone else said...On a lift out back of Red's house. They actually have to be mindful of the tides when putting it in the water because of the draft.

But here's the type of rig they used to deliver it to the water.

Someone mentioned you have to see this thing in person to really grasp the size of it. I think this photo of my wife standing on the swim step give you some what of an idea. It's just massive!!

The rooster is giant as well. surface drives pushin' some serious water.

Doug Valentine doin' his thing.

Any updates on hull #1 of the NT 80? It was the bright blue one w/gold trim that ended up confiscated in Mexico, owner arrested with a lot of cash trying to board a jet to Texas?

And that's the end of the story. Boats still in Mexico. Owners still in Mexican jail.

Hopefully writing a screen play or novel to recoup the money lost on that deal because it makes a great story!
