Default 40 roadster

I am looking for any info on Nor-Tech 40 roadster. Know nothing about them, but NT cats have been on my list of possible next boats to have. Any feedback would be appreciated.

you would not be disappointed with either of the 40’s double r has listed with 1350’s. Both take well maintained to a whole new level.

They are both beautiful, but the power is probably too much for me to maintain. I would like to look at something with 700's. It may not be the fastest thing, but it should be decent, maybe wrong.

a 36 NT really is a nice boat to my eyes since... they were made! 40 roadster another notch above!

what does '' maintenance to a whole new level'' really means in $ ? what needs to be done when ?

I highly recommend against 700s in any NT cat - they're too big and heavy. My good friend had a 36 NT cat w/ 1075s in it that I spent a lot of time in, and I wouldn't recommend one with any less power than that (1,000s minimum). Nor Tech builds a nice big cat, they just need a lot of power to run well.
