If this thread were called "Who builds the best race boat?" You've got my vote for Skater and MTI. Otherwise, we appreciate your consideration.

Nor-Tech

exactly.... you probably would win most desirable real world cat too.... the 43 is on my future list

All good points Terry......... and I admire your product. In fact you are a close second on the admittedly biased (and short)list of cats I'd own. Nortechs are well designed, unique, stable at speed and gorgeous........ and probably, on a day to day basis, the most civilized of the breed.

My loyalty to...and admiration for... Peter Hledin and his Skaters goes back a long way. His products have stood the test of time...... been copied repeatedly..... and still show new and innovative upgrades on a "form follows function" basis.

I respect both of your efforts.... and from this old curmudgeon....That's saying a lot.

I will give you both my highest and rarest complement.

Your boats don't suck.

I will say that most of the Nortechs that I have viewed are really true masterpieces of workmanship. The detail and paint schemes that are usually applied are usually breath taking. The new 43' I saw in Key West this year was a very nice piece as well. While some may have opinions on what boats are better then others as may also that does not take away from the owner,designers or quality of the boats that are on that list. Terry keep up your hard work and I would still really like to see you put out an effort for Racing sometime in the future if it is in your companies interest.
