I love diesels, also race them, somewhat best of both worlds if top speed is not your main objective. I like the fuel burn, the acceleration, somewhat a happy medium.

As to the shifters these are one of the only few that are available at the time, the engine is all electronic so are the sycronized shifters, really no throttling per say, the computor does it all. Forward, reverse with in milaseconds, not an attractive piece by any means, but very functional. I was hoping Livorsi or someone was coming out with a shifter/throttle like you typically see. Thanks Jeff

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

looks great Jeff. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I am very interested in how the boat performs with the engine/drive set up. Not just top speed but how it comes on plane, docking, MPG burn, balance, rigging issues and all the small details.

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Love the paint Jeff, good luck and I hope it is in your hands soon.

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

that thing is awsome

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Thanks, possibly the Miami Boat show PR, anytime you want. :drink:

Thank you everyone for all the compliments, boat turned out sweet. :cool:

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

My favorite part of the entire boat is the stereo remote :D

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

LMAO :evilb:

Where is the CROWN button? :eek:

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Hey JASS....

I think Im missed the part as to the power plants inside the AWESOME BEAST!! Could you enlighten me please?? :D

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

All I have is pics of the Yanmars Diesels before the install, maybe Terry will post some of the engine compartment, rigging when I last saw it was awesome. I used blue mirror plex on the sides of the engine bay as well. 480hp and like 935tq. Arneson ASD-8's. :cool: . Thanks Jeff

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

That's ironic, the guy working in the bilge has a OUTERLIMITS t-shirt on.....FOLLOW THE LEADER

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Great guy, I guess he worked at OL for 12 years, extremely knowledgable, he did the majority of my rig job. Jeff

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Sorry I missed your post. The orig. one I tested topped out 73-74. Nice package, the person who bought it just traded it back in for a 50 Nortech with the trip 485 Yanmars. Speed on that will be about the same. The 43 I tested docked with no problem, actually as good if not better than my last 4300 with #5's. The icing on the cake was the bow thrusters. Terry and Trond are waiting for wheels and Im sure they will post some speeds when finshed. Im in no hurry, and am glad they are willing to take the time and get every last mile out of her vs saying here ya go, and enjoy. A few pics here and there keep me satisfied. Great Co, and my next boat will also be another Nortech :cool: Jeff

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Jass

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Thanks Jim, really pleased how it turned out. You and your family have a Happy Holiday. :drink: Jeff

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Great looking boat jass. :D

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Did you pay for the additional premium option of Forward? Or did you just opt for Reverse? Those step bottom boats are dangerous you know at anything over neutral speeds.


:evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Did you say bow thrusters? :eek:

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

It is his transition boat to a Silverton! :evilb:

Jeff is just looking to get some driving experience to help with the transition. :eek:

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Why go Silverton when you can have a 80' Nortech :D My retirement :drink:

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

65 Fountain will womp that 80 NT :evilb: You will still have a bigger boat than me :D

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
 

Maybe retirement. :evilb:

Maybe working another 10 years! :D

Merry Christmas to you and Sandy and family Jeff. :drink:

Re: WOW...What a beauty, There is a Santa....
