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...
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.

Re: Highest Quality Cat Builder?
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
