I knew the wait was long, but 2 years. Again, Im not knocking Peter's boats, they are fine example's of a true custom, and one of a kinds. Skater has the rep. of being the best. He markets his business like I build my homes, to exclusive clientell, but like I mentioned before times will change, and my competetores started to catch up, so I needed to change to be slightly ahead of them. Unfortunatly, the old saying is.. beauty is only skin deep.

That's a great looking boat! The quality of the glass work under the deck, engine compartment, etc. looks very similar to that in my Jaguar: except it's not epoxy.
What does that rig weigh?

Sharkey,
I was at the corner of Manotoloking and Adamston Saturday morning when that rig was hauled right by me heading east on Manotoloking. That is one big boat. They pulled into Traders Cove, guess they got lost going over to your place.

No, they weren't lost. The trailer wasn't outfitted to be lifted. So they needed to go to Traders.

I don't know the weight, but it felt like I was standing on a big surfboard... :D

Kevlar & balsa throughout...

Awesome lamination as you can tell from the pics.

It's not everyday people get to see what the "Inside" of a Skater looks like.

Well, now you know..... :)

And did I mention? This is 49 feet, twin 1200 hp V12's.

The Nortec's are as sleek as a new Ferrari. Me and my buddy were talking today and I am going to unload some of the hardware I have and go for a Nortec when they start hitting the secondary market.

I have a few buddies who have them and they have nothing but praise for the boat and people they had to deal with.

This boat just has sex written all over it.
Do what ever you have to, buying a Nor-tech will be your best boat purchase you can make. There product is unbeliveable, and the people are a 10. The only problem so far since I've had it here in Cali., with all the attention it gets, I have not been able to do the sex written all over it part yet. Nor-tech, Skater, Mti, I owned a Skater before this, pound for pound, all around, Nor-tech all the way.

Bling Bling, your boat looks awesome, one of my favorite 36 Nortech cats. The subtley of the silver stripes is what makes it look different. Now that you've owned for a few months, what speeds have you attained over 160 with your power, Thanks Jeff :D

Any pictures of the Nortec's construction; we have Skater buildup pictures would be interesting to see what they do also.

Steve, I have some of Xcess Wetness while it was being built, but my main computer has been down for almost 2 weeks. When up I will post them. Jeff
