Hey Terry !
Saw you on the news last week....Awesome.

Just my opinion and I've said it before, Warbird 50V is the V-bottom all others should be judged by. It was years ahead of its time !
All the best,
Hans

RockStr Hans,
Saw the Warbird once in person at the CC Yacht Club some years back - I don't think pics do it any sort of justice - that Boat was Incredible! Just curious as to where it's at now? You still have it? For a 50 ft. boat weighing in over 16K Lbs. to hit over 140mph, well, enough said- simply killer! You have any additional pics of it you could post? Thanks and take care.

Matt

Delleto -Slow down my friend. Warbird is not my boat. I couldn't afford to fuel it, much less own it! It's just always been my favorite....
It was owned by a gentleman thats also here on OSO...

All the best,
Hans

Hans- Sorry 'bout the mix-up. I had previously read the Warbird thread (fastest Nortech V) and saw that James was the King & creator of those amazing boats - in particular the dark purple 50V Warbird III we had mentioned. I had thought, perhaps, you had taken it over. Regardless, I'm with you on that one - that boat kicked serious arse! I'm still curious as to where it might be spotted today.

After re-rigging, overheated constantly, never ran to the standard I was accustomed to from NT.

Traded Warbird V for a 60' SeaRay (we went through a naming contest here: "Falcon"). Had to sue the "guy" that I traded through for the final papers.

As you get older and wiser, you learn that there are some people that you never do business with again...

Hans is correct; Warbird III weighed 17,000 lbs and ran 140 properly trimmed and driven. Alpha Boat-What a rush!! Maybe one of the best ever...(and I'm so old that I must be years ahead of my time too LOL!!)

James
GrandPa :drink: :D Dont you want to get back into a fast boat again. Dont you miss the thrill. Jeff

James-
No thoughts on a Warbird VI, perhaps 50V rigged to your liking?????
Also, that was nice spread on your Midnight in PB Mag. - boat looks killer!

Old thread but my bet Cary is the King of Quads. My understanding is they built around 60 Cary 50's with either Quad 454 or Quad Merlin diesels. And I happen to be one of those 60 folks.... My only wish is that it would run half as fast as one of the 50 Nor-Techs.
