Its great to read stories about the dealings of a great builder, compared to the nightmare stories its pretty clear where our OSO dollars should be spent

Stimleck- great point, the unfortunate part being that we the consumer may not be able to afford the brand boat whose manufacturing experience everyone raves about or maybe they don't offer a style, model or size that meets our needs. Yes I'm having a great experience but is someone wants a cuddy cabin or a 36' performance vee they too deserve the same experience I'm having only Nor-Tech doesn't offer those models. That's not to say that SportBoats Marine doesn't rep another line that may meet the buyers criteria but I guess what I'm trying to say is every OSO'r isn't going to be able to support the manufacturers who are earning others business in a positive way simply due to economics & product line offerings.

Great thread, great boat, couldn't happen to a better dude!!

Happen??:readinghelp:

What do you mean, what just happened??:479:

What color are you gonna do on the 14 Matching Life line Vests?? ;) BTW, That thing is Friggin Beautiful... You've made some pretty good choices. Just the right amount both colors.... Beautiful

FD- I appreciate your endorsement

I actually own a few Red LifeLines from the Skater, Nor-Tech provides a safety kit w/ every new boat so that will yield me another 5 or 6 bright orange horseshoe life vests bringing me to nearly 10 total!!:bananalove: Ultimately I'll probably invest in a few Auto Inflatables but I haven't gotten that far yet. I looked for vendors at the Miami Boat Show but didn't really find what I was after.

I can't take full credit for the overall scheme, I pulled it together from several boats I've seen over the years & in pictures online.

This awesome boat building experience.

Not the best but few pics from today, Merc's due to land next week. Expecting the SeaDek flooring to be installed next week as well.
Hang engines, finalize rigging & punchlist items completed all by Easter.

You can't see it in the pictures but the lounger has some lumbar support behind the knees providing a little more comfortable seating position. Nowhere near as aggressive as a Cig or MTI but certainly an improvement over the traditional flat lounger found in the Nor-Tech 340 & 390. Sportboats was instrumental in getting this custom built to my liking which has required several trips to Nor-Tech over the past 3 weeks. If I'm not mistaken this portion of my interior was completed in house at Nor-Tech & not at Premiere but the match is perfect.

That"s going to be one fun boat :)

SportBoats & Nor-Tech are also working on a custom bow bench filler cushion that is hard backed & won't require the pole or floor pedestal mount to be supported but will be sturdy enough to stand on. I had the floor receiver installed just to provide me w/ future options.
