4300 Nortech paint job update
 

Just got back from Missouri, Rod at Pro body Works 1-636-583-3368 did an awesome job, and I thought Radio Active looked great, but was really impressed on all the prepp work that was being done after the paint job. 5 guys went over this boat non stop for the three hours I was there trying to find flaws that I could not even see. I cant wait till mine is finished, all thats left is deck hatches, cockpit floor, and the transom. The pics dont do the paint job justice, the colors are copper/tangeringe, purple, green and silver. Check it out, tell me what ya think.

the blue is purple

Even in 4wd I couldnt get it up the hill, that ice was a killer;) man, I cant wait to get home, snow=cold=sucks:p

port side

transom is getting the copper color to show off the silver flames better

Deck shot from inside

Total Marine's motors, different valve covers and flame arrestors coming in chrome, with there logo engraved on them and then the engraved section will be painted green color over the chrome, check out Nortechs excellent rig job, wires evenly spaced and clamped evenly throughout.:D

:D

Troutly, another 4300 has Nortech 725's and with bravos it did 85, he then switched to Bmax's and now is 82-83. These are TMP's 750's, they have a little more hp as well as torque, and with the Stelling boxes on and #5's it should be an easy 85, but will know more after dialing it in.

WOW,

That paint looks great. Nice job.

Thanks Dan, it really looks much better in person, and of course even better when the sun is out.:D

yo jeff, gotta add a little green to the truck. awsome boat- another killer piece of hardware:D :D :D

Who did the rigging? That is an awesome looking engine compartment! The whole boat is phenomenal looking! But, I fear it's too tame for you...perhaps you should share it with the OSO board as there are some more sedate members who may enjoy it!!!

Thanks again for the towel. Hope all is well with you and yours.

:p :cool:

Nice Paint!!! Where's Pro Body Shop? I have mine in the paint shop in Missouri also. Vincent's Custom Paint at Lake Of The Ozarks.

JimmyBaja

Very nice paint job! Where will you be boating with this?

nice!
:cool:

Troutly, we figure about 30-40 hp loss with the trannies, the question is how effecient or less efficient the Bmaxs are over #3, #5, or even #6's, don't really know, but we guess we will find out. The Stelling boxes have got to be good for 2 to 3 mph, cant wait to find out.:D

Very nice Jass!:cool:

She looks great Jeff! Now just so you know I have enough money in my pocket to cover the gas for a poker run. :p :D

Jassman, That is your boat? Nice!!! The name threw me at first ....XS Wetness (Paul) just got a Nor Tech also I thought that this was his!!;)

Fantastic looking boat!:)

Wow! Jeff it's really coming together. i am ready to see it in person. Are you going to finish it at Nor-tech or Total Marine?

Open72, your right, a little more green on the truck would be better. We will be at the Tic Faw and Royal Purple PR, stop by and say Hi, Jeff and Sandy:D

Mike, no problem, you can ride anytime, just promise me, no Armadillo chasing:p :D

Rob, Nortech will be finishing it, they should be getting it hopefully Friday. The problem is the Miami show, then a poker run, which I would have liked to have gone on, so maybe by the end of the month, why you ready for a road trip:D

Miller, damn youve got me figured out, It will be for sale around Sept 1st, Im allready working on the next one.;)

Sweet paint! I see you went for the stealthy, understated look so the water cops don't bother you!!!:p
I love it!

Yep that's Jeff.:D

get that beauty out of the snow quick!!:cool:

JimmyBaja, Probody Works is located about 2 hours from LOTO, Rod's shop is in Union, MO. Super easy guy to deal with, paints alot of boats, quite a perfectionist, and is also a boater, owns a 2002 46 Black Thunder.

GOFORBROKE, I just call Troutly when the water cops pull me over, he gets me out of it every time:p

KiloKat, we are located on the Gulf, in Mississippi. We boat locally in this area, as well as Lake Ponchatrain, and over inthe Destin area. We plan on doing these PR this year. Tic Faw & Royal Purple, Emerald Coast, Sarasota, Would have liked to made the Key West one after the Miami show, and probably a few more, if you see us, stop by and have a drink with us. Jeff

Jeff,
Looks great, can't wait to get it back and on the water.
BTW the spring Key West run is March 22nd.
Miller, it was rigged here at Nor-Tech.
Terry

That sounds good Terry, perfect timing. Who's all going, definatly count us in, we desperatly need a vacation. :D

very nice package...

Jeff when is the Sarasota run?We already made reservations for the Emerald coast run:D

Looks GREAT....Jass!!!!!!!Any idea on total hours on paint work alone?

Terry, the dates for that run are March 19-21, I think you are looking at a 2003 calendar:p How many are planning on going.

Rob, the Sarasota PR I believe is in Sept, we can run together in Emerald Coast, the month before.

JB, thanks, it really looks better in person, my camara is not that great, and my wife says its more like operater error:rolleyes:

SpeedDoc, dont have a clue on how much time for painting the boat, Rob could probably help you. 1-636-583-3368
