in that case...ill give you 50k cash for the nor-tech

that all its worth anyways. no merc power. big lengthy boat. i dont like the name. doesnt run on pump fuel. old nor-techs can be had for half what you are asking. cockpit layout meh. color meh. dont like the color of the air cleaners. the list goes on...these are all apples to apples comparisons of course.


i just talked myself down to 45k cash

Maybe I should clarify that for you, as stated the steps are obviously different, the basis shape of the forward part of the hull is similar. In fact, if you look at all (but the cats), the OL's from the first to the latest all have similar entry lines on their hulls. The step configuration is the notable change, but the family lines are remarkably close. Much like the old flat decks compared to the latest TG, the hulls themselves look very similar when sitting in the water.

I'll just run it this year at that price. Thank you though. BTW, why couldn't you run the turbines on pump gas? Please enlighten me....

See its not that hard, especially when you don't have to sell. But a bunch of these people have a bank up their a$$ and have to get rid of it.

They run on diesel, off road diesel, kerosene, Jet A, home heating oil, etc...... So if you cant find that anywhere you better give up.

to answer your question...you are right, you can run turbines on just about anything but it life limits the components. in our business this is paramount. we guarentee MTBF to our customers. with this in mind, our fuel systems are designed around Jet-A, JP-8, JP-5, Jet-A1, -RT, and No. 3 Jet Fuel with provisions to use TS-1. This is is due to the coking effects and there impacts to our fuel pumps, actuators, valves, and most crtically the fuel nozzles. ill send you the bill later

Same can be said of the older 42 Legacy, the boat is basically the same as the 44 SL, it just has different steps and the redesigned stern to accommodate the bustle. From a visual standpoint, the basic hull and deck are still very similar, it's just the addition of the bustle that has made them look different. Regardless, I fully understand what you're saying about OL continuing evolve...

EDIT: A perfect example regarding the same basic boat, just with a bustle.

Actually all v bottom go fasts have canoe like shapes!

OL has changed the interiors, the gauges, the rigging has gotten insane over the years, the bottoms are ever changing, the sit down boats, the open bow stuff, bustle/no bustle......hard to say that a 37 looks anything like a 36 unless you are back at the "canoe shape" theory.

Here's another nice $85k TS Gun for you guys. I know they don't exist though, so it must be a misprint.
