Fastest Nor-Tech
 

I was flipping through the latest issue of Hot Boat magazine yesterday, and I noticed the article about the Nor-Tech cat. I believe it was a 36, and it was owned by a woman. Can't remeber the name of the owner or boat off hand.

Anyways, the article claimed that it was the fastest Nor-Tech ever built. I was shocked because I was under the impression that Jim Leonardo's Xtreme Xhibit held the title for fastest Nor-Tech.

Does Hot Boat know something that I don't know? Have I missed the latest news? I don't remeber the exact numbers they listed for the top end on the boat they featured, but I do know it was nowhere near the 185 top end that I've heard about Xtreme Xhibit.

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Hot Boat or Extreme boats did an article on "Cyclone" that was owned by Playboys Cyber girl of the year. Is that the one you are talking about?

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

The fastest 36 to my knowledge is this one rigged at Marine Performance in Port Orange Florida.It goes 170 MPH with Eickert 1200s.

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

It was rigged by John Pompi at Marine Performance and dialed in.

Fastest Nor-Tech 50ft V ..... 130mph..."Warbird"

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

What power?
Turbines?

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Xtreme Xhibit is a 50', I believe. I thought I read that it runs in the 170 mph range. :eek:

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

there areabout 4 36's that run in the low 160's-165. have not seen a 170 36 yet, however there are a couple of full canopies that will run over 180, they will have 1400-1600hp. xtreme has ran over 190mph, It is the fastest nortech cat to date. when comparing speeds, you have to be careful in what conditions it was ran in. There are at least 3 nortech 36's with nearly 1200hp nortechs they all run around 160-165.Warbird isa a cat not v. regardless over 160 is plenty fast enough anyway

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

The boat I mentioned is a 50 foot V-bottom, not a cat....Floating condo!
It was owned by a guy from ft.Lauderdale.
Quadruple big blocks and four #6's

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Wiggler -

Before James Mullen had the 50ft Cat built, which incidently was/is Warbird II , he owned just about the sickest 50ft V that I have ever seen...V bottom, not a cat.
It did 130mph.....

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Wiggler ...FYI

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Sorry Rock your right. what was the power in the 50v to run 130. my mistake

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

No biggie ...

It's just one of very few things that I actually know about :D

The boat had 4x 950 hp (if memory serves), air conditioning, gen, full cabin, all the bells and whistles....it was one of the most over the top pleasure boats that I've ever seen.

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

I have a 04 50v with triple 850's and get 105mph. The 50 is a condo on water than can eat up any waves. Any hot properties around you for investment purposes. been looking in estero.

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Does your 50 have the portholes? "Warbird" had none....I'll try to scan another pic of it tomorrow...
As for the investment properties on Marco...The prices keep steadily going up:
Cheapest canal front property (80x100) is right around $700K .
It's an island after all :D
Shoot me an e-mail and let me know what you're looking for and I'll do whatever I can to help.
All the best,
Hans

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Just wondering what boat the gps was in.

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

A Ferrari :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Looking for a new development probably a golf course community where I can get in on pre construction or lottery in an area with good value and tearly growth. thanks for your help

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

It was taken in Xtreme Xhibit...not by me...I wish :D

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Is she the owner, or is the guy driving it in the Florida poker run article the owner. Hot boat lists them both as the owner.

Perfect Storm, out of Typhoon Performance Marine in NJ, has gone past 160 with it's new power.

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

they are engaged.......

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Thanks

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

lucky dude, fast nor-tech and engaged to a playmate..... :D

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

I noticed that too, I had to go back & reread the first story since I thought I was losing it.
Of course this the same magazine that says the 30' Daytona is a 20' in the headline.

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

So it looks like we lost some posts in this thread. (?) Last I remember someone mentioned another crazy boat besides Xtreme Xhibit that I was supposed to be keeping an eye out for on Irondequoit bay, and some Rochester female was planning on winning the lottery and making Xtreme Xhibit look like a Bayliner.

Wo what's this other boat on the bay again? :)

Also, I think there are a couple pics that everyone liked that are no longer here. I vote for them being reposted.

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

it was lost in a reboot..... nothing to repost unless the poster wants to repost it...

the other guy on the bay was rueckwald and he used to have a real nice 50 hustler i don't know if he still has that or has got a new ride...

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Mine was one of the posts lost the last few days. When I put my boat in heated storage last fall, Mark Rueckwald's new boat was next to me--42' OL with twin 1500 Sterlings and #6's. Wild fuscia,purple paint with no name. 2 hours on the clock. I can only speculate whether he'll trailer it or keep it at the Newport Marina where he's kept the Hustler 50, 40 Skater,etc.in the past. I have to go by Jim Leonardo's place to get out on the Lake. In 2003 I saw both Extreme Exhibit and Jim's other boat, 4 Of A Kind in front of the house. I didn't see either boat this last season. Perhaps he just concentrated on the big Poker Runs. For what it's worth, a friend did see the Nor-Tech being put in down on the River. I keep my boat on the Bay at Southpoint Marina (Bounty Harbor). Certainly not in a league with Mark and Jim's boat, my boat is gForce, the Hustler Slingshot originally owned by Mark Rueckwald. Lou

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Which house is Jim's?

Lmarth, did you hit any of the WNY poker runs this past summer?

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Were the engines in the 50 cat mounted in tandem, i.e. crankshaft to crankshaft?

I'd love to see some pictures of these 4 engine NorTechs.

One of the NorTechs was being advertised as having v16's.

Re: Fastest Nor-Tech
 

Warbird, there was a turbine powered cat in Key West called Warbird. Was that yours? How fast is that one?

Nor-Tech Extreme Girl Video
 

Does anyone still have a link to the video of the 36 Nor-Tech "Cyclone" with the girls (Extreme Girls) driving? I had my computer fixed and lost the link?
If it is still out there, it sure is a motivator first thing in the morning

Couple pics from last time i was at the factory.

NO SH___IT!!!!

Hot girls and hot boats.....thank you God!
