Nor-Tech....what's in a name.....
 

I'm tired of seeing Apache's name all over this board....now let's talk about the REAL, best damn built boat on the market today......

Let's hear it from the Nor-Tech fans.......... :D:D

:woohoo: :woohoo:
They ain't the High 5 smilies, but they'll do!

BTW, just what is a Nor-tech? :D :D

drama ,with a boat builder , say it isn't so:D

Did you just work in the word "drama" ? How well do you know Ranman ?:D :D :D KIDDING, I"M JUST KIDDING.........Wait a minute, NT's do have kind of a softer look......very good stuff but....softer looking......

Hey had to add some "drama":D :D

Isn't it the same guy that does OL's design's ???:D

we have a 380 w/ 625 natrual motors.. just a really nice boat

also have a 5000 SC w/ 1500 lycomings in.. haven't ran that boat yet

god Wickedwon we can't take you anywhere can we.:eek: :D

Oh boy here we go.
Norwegian born Nils Johnsen started building boats when he was a teenager. In the late 80's he designed and built in Sweden what was then the Hi-Tech 5000. In 1990 he and childhood friend, Trond Schou, decided SW FLA was the place to be so they loaded up the mold and moved to..well..a.. Cape Coral. This was the beginning of H.P.B.C., D.B.A., Nor-Tech. I hate to admit it but Nils designs everything in his head. No computer, CAD, just a lot of napkins, cardboard scraps or whatever is handy.
So there you have it.
Thanks,
Terry Sobo

Anyone know what the force behind the 380 was?

A Cafe Racer :confused:

:D :D :D

The front half of the 380 is similar to the Cafe/ Force 10.
From the Cg back it's totally different. Two steps, pad and notched transom.
We are working on a new 39 and will be ready for the fall of 04.

LMAO!! :D :D

Cashbrain and I visited the Nor Tech factory in November. Terry was kind enough to give us a tour. First class operation! Clean and well laid out.

John G and I will have a 36 Nor-Tech cat at the Chicago Boat show

also Detroit and Grand Rapids Mich Shows

Detroit we will also have a 43 v hull with the cat

stop and see us

Marc

hope fully the next boat i'll buy is the 36 cat; i also went to the nor tech factory and got shown round by Randy; met Nils .... THE WHOLE design of that boat is awsome ; the hood scopes; the seats; the dash; the wind shield; personly they 've moved boat design forward....... a long, long way; the whole set up was first class !!

No Cleveland Marc ?????????

JM

Great boat and great people to work with.

Had the pleasure to go out on the 43' v-hull several weeks ago.

The boat stays on plane at 15 mph and ran nearly 100 mph. The only bad thing about the ride was that we could not find enough rough water to begin to challenge the boat. This machine just ate up anything we could throw at it.

I think Nor-Tech could acquire Lexus's slogan... 'The Reletless Pursuit of Perfection', as they really work towards making one of the best products to hit the water.

Not trying to kiss any azz here, but was really wowed with this product/team.

Best of luck to the Nor-Tech team in getting new hulls out the door (39 V, 43 cat, and...).

JM,

sorry no cleavland this year

Are You doing SOTW??? you were fisrt to signup last year

Bommer :)

comming to see me in Chicago ??????

Yes .... we'll be there ..... I sent the money in the last couple times so I'm tryin to see Dietz will send it in this time ?????:D

How about Los Angeles.... will there be one at the show here ?

I'm working on a West Coast distributor but will not make it in time for LA. :(
The first 36 is heading to a Santa Barbara customer in March.

Scott, (Boomer)

i got your email will be calling you tonight

Boy, he is excited too!!!! His friends can't wait to see that Nor-Tech either. I haven't seen him this excited about a boat since he built his last Skater.

3DO

In the building business we refer to this as CADNAP 2004

:D Just wanted you all to know that Terry Sobo should get an award for best boat salesman of the century.I have owend 7 boats in the past, last being a skater, and have never been treated better. Terry's professionalism, courtesy, and knowledge of his outstanding product is second to none. From their elite facility, flawless 140mph test drive, and putting up with my anal ways, they have shown their true colors.By the way, leave Terry a phone message, and worst case scenario, 22 minutes, imagine that. Terry, have I kissed enough ass to get 6 passes to the miami boat show? Do you need California ladies to work the booth? Your Santa Barbara customer.

:D:D:D:D

Geez Bling, I just spit my coffee halfway across the room!
Thanks for the comments but NO MORE FREE STUFF! :D
Seriously it's nice to be appreciated. ( Nothing wrong with a fist full of Benjamins either ;) ;). )
TS

:D :D

Terry i have my own thread

"I Hit Apache"

and you my friend can come to run again in the Poker run this time leave the winter coat behind

Agreed Great Boat and Terry is one of the best in a dishonest business. Hey the new northern dealer is OK as well. :D

Thanks Scott but does that make me one of the best dishonest people? :confused: :p

I have to agree, when I was looking to buy a boat. I met Terry and he was not pushy like most of the sales people out there. He knows the product and tells it the way it is.

Nor-Tech is the real deal....


There Terry you happy now? You owe me 25 bucks...:D :D


:crazy: zzie

Hmmm since Scott only eluded to me do i owe him $10

thanks by the way scott :)
