If that’s a midnight 39 it would fit mine. Or is one of the wider midnights?

I agree on the cost of going with something new-a million isn't that much money in todays world.

what props on that Nortech?

I'm not really sure. I had it saved from a search I did a while back. I'm getting ready to redo an older center console and was looking for some options to upgrade the top.

The guy that I talked to the most has 29 pitch 5 blade thru hubs from Dave DeWald. I will get some props from Dave and also have the Ventura 27.5 from Mercury. The other 34 owner has hill propellers and Mercury Pro-Max.

Its a nice boat, I'd pocket the new power money buy some of these "discounted stocks" and enjoy the boat as is. If things turnaround you might have enough to buy a whole new boat!

I am putting 450s on it. The Venturas will be a secondary propeller set. I am ordering a set from Dave as well that will hopefully be run the majority of time.

The Ventras are better from what Nick at Mercury told me. They are a semi-surfacing purpose built wheel so I am going to give them try "not expensive is also a plus".
