I think you've done some good recon and received some solid feedback.

Best of luck w/ your pursuit of building a new Nor-Tech!

I’m going for a ride tomarrow.. Today 280 gallons fuel 9 adults we ran 77 mph and the boat was on rails!

I've yet to hear anyone claim a quad 39 capable of 90mph. My guess is more like 85mph.

I would say the length, weight & CG of the 39 overcome the lift.
1050 h.p. behind a 34' boat trimmed up so that's allot of leverage coupled w/ the air trapped under the top in front of the windshield.
IMO 1200 h.p. or 150 h.p. more behind a 39' boat that weighs more doesn't have the ability to get the same lift.
I also don't believe the large top affects or contributes to the lift, it's the air that is stacked up under the top at the windscreen that causes the lift. The shape is the same regardless of whether you opt for standard or large top.

The large top is beneficial if you opt for 2nd row seating on a 39. Better wind / weather protection for more passengers.
We had 4 on board returning from the Bahamas in 4-5 footers w/ rain and whoever sat on the cooler behind the helm got drenched w/ the rain that rolls off the backside of the standard top.

I have personally ran the 1st blue quad 400 390 at 91. No jack plates. My friends triple 400r 34 is 86 on the gps history. My 2015 triple 300 34 is 76 on the gps history, that has been done once when the boat was fairly new. With 350hrs it will run 73 every day and it has never let me down. Still solid as a new boat.https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...011cdef58.jpeg

Good info, I stand corrected.

Thanks Erik
