Default New 43 V Bottom

I realize most of you don't know me. A lot more of the Formula folks do. But just out of my excitement just wanted to say I pushed the order button today on a new 43 V Nor-tech. My offshore boating past consisted of 4 new Formulas - 271, 312, 353 and most recently an '03 382. Formulas are great boats but feel it's time to move on and try a custom boat manufacturing company. Look forward to dealing with Terry and the folks at the factory and want to thank the North East Regional Sales Consultant, John Gardner and his dealing through his collegue, Ed Geerlings from Great Lakes Marina.

Hope to do a lot of boating out of Charlevoix Michigan next summer and maybe can hook up with some of the OSO folks up there. Plan to be at the Miami show. Hope to meet some of the Nor-tech folks. Tracy, my wife Laurie and our mutt, George over to the left there.

Congratulations on your new 43. And welcome to the Nor Tech family. A great builder and a fun group of boat owners.
I too had a Formula [ 419 ] and it served me well from 1996 to 2001 when I moved up to my first NT 5000. In 2003 I ordered my second one with all the bells and whistles. Went with #6's hooked up to trip NT 850's and has been one awsome [ and dependable ] boat. This weekend I will turn 500 hrs in just 2.5 yrs. In any case you have made a great choice and look forward to seeing you on the water. Enjoy.
Bob

Try Chris Dilling, did a nice job designing the graphics for me. He was 99% finished with it before the storm, I just haven't had the chance to get back to him. 386-547-1856.
