Hey Corey, My garage was designed around the 4300, it is 12 x 50'6", with a 10 x 10 door. I have approx 1' off the trailer guard and 1' in front of the garage door. With a 30x50 I could squeeze 3 of them in there Jeff

Didn't Terry get a new 43' with Nortech 1200's? What does he get for speed out of that? Also why doesn't Nortech stagger them or put drop boxes in them to move the drives closer together? I guess any way you cut it, Nortech's are still one of the baddest and best looking vee's out there.

Terrys 05 4300 has Nortech 1150's. It would be nice if he could post some pics Have no clue what he gets for speed, I was refering to his 04 4300.

My 4300 will have a staggered set up. I was torn between going with triple 650's, for balance, and planning speed but...then the problem is drives, and I didnt want bravos on that size of boat, I really wanted to try Arnesons ASD-6's, but was afraid of resale and possible docking situations, but thought of them to be a superior drive. I believe this set up will be easier on maintenance, balance, will get me up on plane quicker do to the props being closer. Balance and set up is very important on this boat, best boat I have ever owned. Jeff

I am a good friend of Dave Burgess. He and I own a boat house together in Port Huron Mi. I have been on this boat many times. When Dave owned the boat it was in awesome condition. It couldn't have been maintained or cared for any better. The KE 825's are great motors. Dave was very happy with them. I personally saw 95 mph on the GPS. If you are serious about this boat a word of caution. Dave sold this boat last October to someone in North Carolina. The boat is currently in Grand Rapids Michigan at Mitcher T's (the painter) getting one of the sides repainted. I talked to Dave and he wasn't positive but he had heard that one of the sides of the boat had been damaged. I would call Mitcher T to see what he is doing to the boat. If nothing major the price on this boat is right. I don't know the condition now but it was a super nice boat when Dave owned it.

Thanks for the word of caution. I'll check into the current status for sure. Jassman, good to know I can fit 3 of them in the shop
I'll stick to maybe one for now

Anyone else got any ideas on the #6 drive maintenance?

Thanks Again!
Corey

Mitcher T

I have the boat at my place right now. It just has some minor dock damage on the port side that the dealer (Shoreline Marine) wanted to make sure it got fixed correctly. He brought it here personally from Virginia Beach as it is on its way to Chicago to show to a potential buyer. The boat looks great, and my team is going to go thru it and refresh it by repolishing it and checking the finish over. I haven't gotten a chance to look really close yet, but so far I would say it has been very well taken care of.

One of my favorite boats. I have also ridden in it 2 years ago in Smoke on the Water. I saw 92 out of her, and she wasn't breathing hard. Beautiful!

Good to know, I hope the Chicago guy doesn't like it

SHORELINE MARINA

Hello Cory, i helped the owner locate the the boat. this boat has been fresh water kept during from spring to fal @ Smith Mountain Lake Va. I have all the service records and know the owner personaly. During the winter Whirlwind was kept indoors @ Dollar Offshore in Lauderdale and has been in perfect condition. Unfortunatly after the boat was returned to the owner on SML we had some hard winds that caused the owner to HAVE SOME SLIGHT PAINT DAMAGE. To keep the boat as clean and perfect as Dave had it we decided to bring it to Mitcher for touch up. The boat is to be done on Thursday and we are bringing it back to SML unless it is sold there. My Chicago buyer has not stepped up yet and this boat shouldn't last at this price. Please feel free to call me with any questions. I have seen 97 gps. the boost is only 5 psi and there is pleanty of life left before freshing. I may be traveling so feel free to call me on my cell 540-797-8276 or the marina 540-721-3664
