I had them redesign the back seat they loved it so much they made it standard on the 2017 s

We also had them put the 34 cc front lounger in the 39 which was a first also. It gives us a lot more room up front.

I thank you for the rear bench seat redesign, definitely caught my attention when I saw it. I barely had the chance to ask if it could be retrofitted to a 34 before Terry stated STANDARD!

I think I get partial credit for the NOW standard lounger w/ U shape seating in 34's. What I'm still struggling to get them to make standard is some lumbar in the lounger bottom cushion.
Like you had them do to the bench seat back I seek in the lounger. Gives a much securer feel not to mention way more comfortable than a flat cushion that ultimately compresses.
You can see how mine was done in 2015 but I told them if they didn't plan to change the shape of the F/G base then they needed to double the foam & increase the density!

They need to go look at a Cigarette lounger and copy it the ergonomics are perfect. Never under stand why boat builders like to make flat seats. They must be used to sitting on buckets.

And good luck with the new new boat!

I like Statements new power loungers up front.

NASCAT 06-09-2016 12:45 PM

+1
I don't build boats so I'm unable to determine the cost involved w/ modifying and or creating new molds (the lounger and helm are a separate module from the deck) vs the return on investment but I can tell you that certain manufacturers haven't made my short list b/c of their unwillingness to adapt or modernize.

The one that is only available on the 38' w/ cabin or are they offering something new now?

I think it's nice if you aren't moving or not on plane but doesn't appear to be very functional or safe at a cruising speed.
Keep in mind that anything that has moving parts is also something that can break vs a fixed contoured lounger like Cig, MTI & Mystic offer.

They offer it on the 38 without cabin. Same idea but sunk down into the boat with 2 power loungers

Something different, it's pretty new but seems to be a big hit so far. It is definitely used more when at low speed or stops.

NASCAT 06-09-2016 05:26 PM

My comments were in reference to the power lounger over the cabin. Being recessed makes it quite a bit safer I would think.

Old one has not sold yet so I am a Fleet owner for now. :(

NASCAT 06-09-2016 08:10 PM

Used 39's are usually a hot commodity. I rarely see them. SportBoats just flipped one for a repeat buyer like yourself.

It will sell its in perfect shape and maintained with a open checkbook. Plus it's priced right best priced Nortech on the market .

What is it that you put on the bow / hull to protect it? Looks blue whereas most shrink wraps are white.

Painters tape , works great and comes off with no residue and cheap.

NASCAT 06-10-2016 06:06 AM

That’s what it looked like.
So just strips of 3 or 4" painters tape.
Not very thick but certainly better than nothing. I'll have to try that.

I just took delivery of a 34 Nor-Tech sport a month ago, it was a long wait but worth it. I love the redesign of the u-shape seating up front. Great boat!

Feel free to keep the pics coming Bill.

I think I mentioned that I saw your scheme posted somewhere, maybe FB. It didn't appear to have much black in the paint scheme so I was curious as to why you went w/ a black gel boat.
Did you just want the black hull bottom?

We love our current black boat but decided to change it u a bit. The black bottom we are hoping will show less discoloration. We are seeing more and more boats with black bottoms so decided to give it a try. The black sides look cool but show water marks bad especially in Florida. To many blue and white Nor-tech s with boot stripes.lol I hope it turns out good

Knot 4 Me 06-14-2016 12:45 PM

Dive door. Nice!

NASCAT 06-14-2016 02:17 PM

I almost went w/ a black hull underside but I was told it will show everything especially where it slides on and off the bunks so I decided against it.
I was surprised you did the entire hull and hull sides in black but maybe that's more cost effective than just doing the bottom black w/ white sides.

Regardless I'm sure it's going to look SWEET!
I can tell you put allot of thought into this build!

It's the only way Nortech would do it spray entire hull black. But i am hoping that if I get a stone chip it might be less noticeable with a black background gel.

Ah, good point.

Making Progress!
When do you expect to receive the boat back in ready to boat condition?

Mitch told me by next week. I hope... we need to shake down before Boyne Thunder in three weeks. I might have to pitch a tent next to the paint shop.

Is that a triple 350 or 400 boat I don't remember?
What props did you end up w/ Rev4 25p's?
