Nor-Tech 298 and Sunsation 29CCX comparable???
 
What other options are there if one is looking for a 298 or a 29CCX? Wanting similar deck layout with lounger, cabin\CC storage and performance?

I will have my 32 Renegade listed within two weeks, the boat is used in fresh water in New Hampshire all summer and on a lift and I use it in Marco Island one weekend a month from December to April. I haul the boat myself and its always shrink wrapped for the trip. It's not exactly like the two mentioned but a great CC, it has twin 350 Verados.

that seems like 75 percent of the 30ft cc market. Sea hunt, velocity has one bigger one smaller, fountain 34 (thought they make a 32 as well), scout, etc. Comes down to price, speed, features

My concern with the Sunsation and Nortech are the models have both been discontinued. Why? If they were great boats/good sellers then that wouldn't have happened.

Kinda, sorta, not really. A 30' CC with a lounger, no forward seating, under deck storage via the console, a completely flat deck and goes 65-70mph WOT???

1) The older Wellcraft Scarab 302 has a very loyal following, and folks tend to redo them. I'm not overly familiar, but there have been a few I've seen over the years with proud owners who have done so.
2) Coincidentally, the "new" Wellcraft company and CC offerings are REALLY nice. I have a friend with one, and there is also a dealer here in Richmond. They have been selling well; and are very well appointed. They are likely more fishing based than fancy based like the Nor-Tech and Sunsation; but definitely worth checking out.

Gracias 🤙 I'll definitely look into them

Where is this 29' Nor Tech listed? I do not see it on any of the usual sites.
