36 Nortech
I have two of these one with #6 and big power the other with 525 and xr i love both boats each has its pluses and minuses very similar to a women there are five good things and five bad for each but u never gonna get one with ten.
The 525 whippled with xr drives is fun boat faster than any v bottom looks better than most boats and is actually affordable yes drives are the weak spot but for $200,000 its a great value

NOOO. I keep hearing that too, but it has NEVER happened with my boat. People hear it from someone that heard it fron someone that heard it from someone else so they posted it online.

I love the cat, and for the cash think it's a great deal. I aspire to be able to NOT jump on a deal like that one day.

Mine never did. All cats will bounce a little while they are searching for air. But if that is a problem the Nor-Techs can adjust out of it with a little drop of the tabs.

I havn't seen many PR videos so i cant comment on that. What i can say is that mine has a little bit of bow lift, sometime you keep the bow down with tabs, other times you let it air out, depending on the conditions. Usually off FTL, i hit the tabs a touch. When im in biscayne bay, I air it out and find the right balance. Either way, there is no porpoising. Also, im assuming most of them are running 6's with cleavers, , my bow lift is casued by, or accentuated by my round blade XR props. I am getting a custom set of props for it becasue I kept breaking blades on my hydromotives.

Appreciate the offer, keep me posted. My only Cat experience was racing a 30' AMT and then riding in big Skater's and MTI's. I don't really have any mid-size experience to speak of.
I love the looks of the NT, I hope they perform as well.
