I think we missed you by 30 minutes ... boat looks sharp ;)

AWESOME Nort!! Did you have double check for Poodl-ing , or did Jeffrey get them all in this time out? :D :D

Well King Poodle didn't go out during the day, but he did come by later when we were rinsing it down. He took it out so I could take a few pics on the water.....first time I had seen it on the water away from the dock. I was stunned at how big it looked and how great the paint came out! :D :D :D

A better view...... :D :D

Nort awsome. Still can not believe that they paint that stuff outside down there. Would think that the over spray would get all over everything!!!!

You think the X will tow that thing :D:D

Sweet ride Nort! :D

Nice rig. Blue was the way to go.


Any Idea on the actuall top speed with triple 502 Mag MPI ?

Now you can buy a Gladiator. No need for that cabin now! :cool:

Nice ride Nort !

Norty

Beautiful ride as the resto came out very good bro. I wouldn't let Jeffrey drive it too much as he may run out of gas in it. :D :D :cool: :cool:

Ya that would be a tough one to paddle back home :D:D

Thanks guys! No idea on the top speed yet. It has an electonic speedo in knots.....and it doesn't work (yet) and I didn't have a hand-held GPS with me, and I haven't figured out how the onboard GPS works yet. Any ideas or am I going to RFTM? :D It has three pieces....radar display, some thing below that, and auto pilot.

Drop down bolsters.....there's also 15 inch sub down on the right side of the captains bolster. :D :D

Outside wetbar with sink, electric ice chest and some bumpin devices.:D :D

Inside stuff....

Top pops up and you have hot/cold water sink, 2-burner electric stove and microwave in the upper cabinet. Fridge is near the door.

Inside party pit....electrical panel is below TV

More....and full head with shower, basin and pump head behind that door.

The "kitchen"

WOOD!!! Some kind of burl wood......I have no idea. Here's a close up.

Range? Ummmmmm. Not sure. I'm guessing with 370 gallons it will make it 1/10 of the way to Hawaii figuring about 1mpg cruise speed.:D :D :D

When we left the harbor in Newport I was doing sixty beside you just as you launched it off a swell:D :D . It actualy lands real smooth and did not create a hugh wall of water on re-entry. Great Catalina boat:p .

Nort ,
I seem to remember a quote back in the uncensored section.

Does this mean these are coming back!!

:D :D:eek:

P.S.

The wood veneer in the cabin seems to be birdseye maple.

As nice as the photos are - the real deal is all that much nicer! The paint came out awesome and the boat is definately a looker! The one thing I told Nort that needed changing was the anchor. It needs to be increased from holding 20,000 pounds to holding 120,000 pounds! We're going to use it as the first ever official SCOPE floating restaurant and bar! It will need to hold half a dozen offshore powerboats side tied on EACH side!! Why do you think I pushed so hard for him to buy it. Someone in SCOPE had to step up and who better than KING CHAOS himself??

What a memory you have!!! BUT......did ya remember post 141 of that same thread? :D So to answer your question....NO, those are not coming back. :D I've moved up to a better model (in the center). :)

Nort. Congrats!
Cool boat!

That is a real sweet boat! I hope you have alot of fun with it.

I always remember beautiful women!:D ,
and I remember that one in particular not liking performance boating.
:mad:

Your new girlfriend outshines your new boat!

As far as post 141 goes, I guess you worked a little harder!

Good luck with all!

I LOVE IT NORTY!

Yeah, what he said :D

Its not a bandwagon. It's a Gulfstream G-5.


:D :D

You guys do not have anchors so you expect him to carry a bigger one!!!!! :D:D

Nort congrats on getting together with Colette :D:D She is awsome!!! :D:D

"Anchors? We don't need no stinking anchors!" :D :D

Thanks Jon! Yes.....she is awesome! :) :)

Phantom, before they poof this Apache thread i would just like to say congrats.Very nice.:cool:

Jason......is this you? Boy....I was surprised that I almost got that thing airborn! :D :D I'm sure it will happen! (purely by accident)

Looks great Nort!! Looking forward to lunch runs to "Nort's" in the future!! :D

There is a Video on this page of a Superhawk 48 (very similar too Nort's rig) jumping around a bit, impressive.

If you need a throttle man to run your new Apache let me know, I will be more than happy to make it fly.

My kind of boat

Bobby Saccenti

Yes, it is I. The only part of the boat that was still in the water were the drives. Both Trevor and I were laughing our a$$ off and could not believe you got that much boat out of the water.
That boat looks a lot newer than it is and the sound of the triple engines sure gets some surprised looks on the faces of people around the dock.:p
