Re: Highest Quality Cat Builder?
i dont know . . call me crazy but if im gonna spend a mil on a boat it better have some creature comforts. Nor-Tech seems to have a pretty good balance when it comes to performance and amenities. yea . . sure you may only go 140 or 150 with all that stuffin your cabin but how often can you really go 170 anyway. yep . . . i'll take the cabin even if its a basic. i just like have'n a place for my stuff

Re: Highest Quality Cat Builder?
Quality is in the eye of the buyer, or what the market will expect. All 3 of the co. mentioned above (Skater, MTI, and Nortech) are about as good as it gets, and I'm sure there are a few sleepers out there that are as good or can be built as good but have not gotten the name recognition (Jaguar,Platinum).
They each are in a certain niche, but can compete against each other if need be. The Nortech will be the sexiest, but heaviest, creature comfort cat out there, that does everything that it was intended to do in speed, quality of ride, and comfort in the exotic market place for cats. The MTI to me is going after a portion of Nortech's and Skater's market share, building both plearsure and race models to try and keep their cust. happy, using different materials keeping weight down. It's done a good job and in the looks dept. takes a second place in my book. Skater has been around for a while, improving their products on a yearly basis. For racing, they are the clear choice, but MTI is coming on strong. But..I don't see any changes in molds, or top decks, or major improvements to a design thats been around for years, and why mess with a good thing....cause... you need to change with your market place. Sometimes you need to reinvent yourself to stay on top, be #1, or you possibly might get passed up by a younger, more agressive boat co, even though you might be a year out in sales, don't get caught falling a sleep, the other guys are figuring it out, just my personal take on it.
