We just over power them so us a fun loving guys with a personalities can keep up with those Skater, OL, and MTI guys.
It IS all about the fun.

Superman , your probably right about the 36, I know Terry's gps'd at 137, I believe him, certainly not comparing it to an mti, mti is a boat, no better fit, finish and speed period, just stating the nortech is a strong performer for more of a pleasure version with nice cabin. I had no idea the prices were that close, sorry, thought it was way more than 10%, love your boat, see you guys at loto, jim

Agreed...Nortech is not interested in being the fastest, just great styling with overall comfort and ammenities included with the lowest cost to make it an excellent value. Granted they are no Skater or intended to be. Nor will a MTI be a Skater, but is less $ and offers 90% value at 80% price point. I read on hear that the 44 MTI was only 10% more than the 43 Nortech, it all depends on the deal you can arrive at. It's all relative, 3 different boats built for 3 different purposes, Id be proud to own any of them. Jeff

I was just at the L.A. Boat Show, and I think Eliminator's quality has gone up. Their 27 Speedster was extremely nice. Everything fit. Gel was great. Rigging was very clean. Engine compartment was immaculate.
