I was thinking the same thing, I love the Nortechs looks overall. I really cant complain with my 36 Spectre (yea, I know they dont make them anymore, Lol) but I would have a hard time deciding which new cat to buy if had the choice. Nortech, skater, MTI at the top for what is being built now in the 36 and up range.

Since I am dreaming, either a Nor-Tech cause of their style, or MTI to support the local company.

And for Too Stroked- my gf would swear on OVO as best vibrator's. German engineering at its best.

I'm just curious, do all cats.porpoise during cruise? If so doesn't that take them out of any discussion as great boats? Wouldn't that make them only great race boats? I hear things like "skaters take half the lake to turn" why would that be acceptable?

Not true- it's about set up, they accelerate like no other

As far as the porpose it's again about set up... Flight Clubs new 388 had a slight porpose at 75-85 originally, then we took the 1 inch spacer out and it fixed it... I was there and ride in it when it was brand new, and also assisted a bit in taking out the Spacers, we had Vinny Riffice there the great throttle and set up guy. He really is awesome. Knows what's up
