Nice american offshore on ebay !

At least there is very many pictures! But still pricey without details on powertrain...

that boat is local to me.

jeff32 10-16-2019 12:38 PM

Looks nice ! You know more details on powertrain?

Wildman_grafix 10-16-2019 02:46 PM

Blower motor cat on bravos (granted small blowers),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Figure the price of SCX uppers at least.

Rest of the boat looks nice.

I can’t stop looking at this one. Anyone know this boat, looks like a lot of value.

Saw your old boat on the Tennessee River last month. New owner is enjoying it and seems like a cool guy.

Rob you'd just double the reasons you got rid of the old AO! What happened to getting a 35 Fountain?!

CNC 10-16-2019 04:17 PM

My Awesome is a whole lot more for much less. 3 years newer, Chief 850's, #5's recently rebuilt by TNT, plus much more. Only criticism is the paint oh well. The name will come off with a blow drier. I planed on keep it for ever, but I just got a killer deal on a Nor-tech 3600.

Just talked to the owner hopefully he wI’ll be on her shortly

Awesome guy and really enjoying the boat. I sent him a text last week asking how the boat was treating he and his wife and he mentioned they’re having a ball.

Another great looking 3100 for sale:

They must've recently dropped the price on THAT one.. Was out of my budget when I bought my Awesome...

What 3600 did you pick up?

JRider 10-17-2019 09:40 AM

My F34 DCB with #6s could have been picked up for under a $100k...

You said "could have". No longer available?

I pulled the power, may even pull the drives and find a Skater worthy of them. For a 130mph boat with #6s I thought a under a 100k was a steal, motors and drives were low hour units too.

I would agree.

How do you like your new boat?

No clue really...
Took it out twice ..Just getting used to it as I've never owned a cat OR twin engine boat before...

and an engine blew.. Didn't even make it through a tank of gas with it yet....

They WERE "freshly rebuilt" as the owner had stated.. problem was, they were rebuilt by TOTAL AMATEURS...
(wrong pistons wrong valves, bent crank, no valve seals, ring end gaps lined up groove cut in cylinder wall .. and just all around crappy machine work)

$5300 in machine work $4500 in parts later, they're almost back together..


Only GOOD news is, it ran 90 MPH while spinning a bearing so hopefully will break 100 once I get it squared away... :)

Bummer, boat looks great. I rode on an AO 3100 in the low 90s and it was so smooth (powered by 496 MAG HOs). I'm sure when you get it dialed in you'll be happy with it. Boating is expensive, boating with a boat that exceeds 100mph is super expensive!

How is the Nor-Tech Super Cat ride compared to the Awesome?

A entirely different boat, a real cat with a real tunnel. All about packing air. I thought my Awesome was something else compare to a V bottom. But this absolutely incredible.

Post a pic up please, share with the class. Lets see the beast.

I’m going to guess it’s this one. Google is really something.

CNC 10-19-2019 08:59 AM

Yup that's her, Great boat. Amazing deals on boats that others dis on the paint. Actually both boats looked silly in the pics but awesome in real life.

CNC 10-19-2019 09:05 AM

I look at the basics of the boat, hull design, motors, drives (I won't ever own anything with less than #5's, been through the Bravo nightmare). Paint is the last thing I consider.

payuppsucker 10-19-2019 09:34 AM

Wonder what ever happened to the 3600 in AZ with 6s and no power.
Maroon/white/ silver iirc.
