Nortech 43' V value?
 

Am considering taking a 2002 Nortech 43' V on trade. Triple 575 Mercs. Boat looks to be in good condition. Any recommendations as to retail value? Any players out there?

Provide more details about the boat, engine, drives, hours, options, etc.

Great boats, excellent ride, spacious cockpit and very large cabin. I have had 1 gas an now have a diesel 4300. Retail is probably in the 200-225k range, but TERRY from Nortech could possibly give you more info as to the retail. Good luck selling it.:cool: Jeff

If it was your diesel............PRICELESS. :evilb:

Play nice John!!!:p

Jeff knows I am kidding.

I do have a question though....when NorTech puts twins in a 43V is it usually in a staggered configuration, or side by side? I am referring to gas here, I think Jeff told me the diesels go in side by side.

For example - maybe a pair of Merc 700s with NXT drives - side by side or staggered?

I think only NO LIMITS has a short stagger, other than that, all are side by side (I believe).

The 43 with twins and #6 drives runs great!!!!

Terry, if you are around, chime in on this question...

What would be the handling and performance characteristics differences of a 43V staggered vs side by side. I am assuming there may be some CG reasons that they are being built side by side?

Terry, get out of bed and answer these ?'s!!:p

A semi-staggered Merc 850 with the #6 drive package and a lighter layup is one of Nortechs best packages for the 4300. With a little more dialing time you might see 104-105. Terry might chime in, what Id like to see also is someone do the same set up but with the stag 700's. I would think 85-86 mph, very insurable and quick enough for most. What ya think Terry on speeds. :cool:

We've built a couple of 43's w/ a short stagger.
Rides a little better in rough water and a couple MPH faster.
Trade off. The engine room /cockpit was designed for trip bravos or SBS 6's. The stagger pushes the engine into the back seat so we have to form an insert around it. You end up with three buckets instead of a bench seat.
Can I take a nap now? I can get you some more details when Regis is over.

The hell with Regis...Kelly Rippa sure is a Hottie.:D

So with the 700s and NXT drives, with the transmission in the extension box, would you be able to keep the back seat standard (bench back seat)?

We had trip 700's in one so that should fit without any problems.

Jazzer, that's how U and I C it! But Terry may C Regis as a Hottie!!:eek: :p :evilb:

Game On!!!:evilb:

Thanks Terry.

So what does that boat do for top end and cruise with trip 700's and NXT's? What the word on the kind of rebuild schedule on the 700? Can it go 250 plus hours before any major work during "normal" use??

I see that one on OSO and may be interested... but first I have to wait for Donahue re-runs to end.

What is everyone's opinion on the merc 575 ? I love the boat but question the power . And drives ?

225-250 hour upper rebuild required, some can have issues with corrosion with the intake but all in all a great engine with lots of power. Going to a more agressive cam with full hydraulic rollers will extend time between rebuilds too.

BillR here on OSO can provide many more details as he's been through that and knows all the ins and outs.

Hey VYP, I believe Randy at Fastboats has an 05 w/ trip 525's that a buddy had in northern Michigan where I boat. I think it has low hours and is loaded. Buddy has the twin 850 43 that was at Miami this year. Good luck! Wrink

Which boat is it? I may have a small interest depending on specs.

Go 2 Fastboats, NT boats, port side pic in front of Fastboats sign. On Myco tailer.

Not anywhere near my top ten list for graphics so it would require a strip and paint on top of the price... that will require some deep thought.

What does one with trip 525's do for cruise and top speed

Mine has ITS & sportmasters, I do not believe that 1 does. The best my wife & I saw this past summer was 92 gps. Plain Jane Merc 5 blade Max. I would luv 2 try 3 6 banger Herings!!!
Terry what should Mikes old boat run w/ its set-up??

The paint job was changed last year. That pic is old.
I'll try and post the new one.

New graphics

That trailer looks a little small for that boat. Is that the correct one?

The trailer fits but the real one is a MYCO steel.

Mitcher T did the current paint.

Thanks Terry! Those graphics are much more appealing to the eye! What is Nor-Tech's perspective on the true cruise and top end of a trip 525 boat??

Who knows the history of the boat pictured?

The hell with Regis...Kelly Rippa sure is a Hottie.:D[/QUOTE]

she might go on apoker run?

Need A Boat For the Summer HELP!!!!!
 

I want a 43' Supervee. I really want triple 525.

Does anyone know anyone parting with one.

I looked at the fast boats site. Not crazy about anything on there.

also does anyone know how much Mitcher T get to do a Paint Job?

WRINKLEFACE where do you boat out of?

AV

Cost of the paint depends on what you want to do.
