If I was doing one from scratch it would be unique and easily spotted in the crowd.

just my .02


I sort of agree with this, but there's more white or just plain hull (which is a good thing) than many others.

Both cockpit and cabin carpet inserts will be red.
Cigarette does such a great job on the interior should like awesome
Sounds fantastic, I like lots of white on interiors, it's just a clean look.

Oh I agree, the memories I have created growing up boating and boating now as an adult are priceless so you cant really place a value on it. I was just curious on how well the value is on the trade after 3 years and 100+ hours. Double R told us we could get pretty close to what we paid on our 2016 Nor-Tech 390 if we traded it for a 450 after just under 1 year of owning it. Mostly due to the fact it would be immediately available for someone to not have to wait over a year to build a new one. We ended up not going for it, largely because we didn't want to wait a year or more for a 450 build.

limited production and awesome product like Not-Tech definitely helps. Honestly, you have to love this hobby / sport to justify it. We have many friends that the track cost of boating down to a daily run rate. This type of accounting doesn’t work for me.

Well as expected build has hit the "quiet period". Good news is were only 12 days out from day one of the Miami show. I suspect hanging the 6th 400R on the new CC has trumped bilge sanding on our boat (completely understandable).
Boat should be in paint in a week our so. Plan on checking it out before heading to the show on the 14th.

Hitting a "quiet period" is way more preferable than a boat being rushed at the end to hit the show. I've seen a number of boats over the years which I thought the builders would have been better off not making the show with the final product, or it was headed back to the factory for fixes and refinishing.

Couldn't agree more. As I look out my window here in Cincinnati I see 5" of snow on the ground, no boating here until late April.

Boat is still on schedule for May 1st delivery.

After a short debate it was decided (by a higher power in the house) to do the 1350/1100’s. Would love to see someone do a 1550 42X it’s just not gonna be us.
