08 Nortech 4300 Yanmar/Arneson or should I go with 700's and #6's.


Do both. Don't you always have AT LEAST 2 boats under construction.??

You remind me of Colette! I have 2 bottles of Crown waiting for you.

I figure sooner or later you will want to boat this summer.

Much more sooner than later, fall will be upon us shortly. End of Sept. is when it is scheduled to be finished.

I see you are still thinking about your decision

I told Terry to decide, I would take it either way. I guess I'll find out when I pick it up or see motor shots towards the end of the build.
If Terry wont pick Ill just go buy a CC and worry about building one over the winter once I get my ins. check.

Beautiful lines

Jassman:

3 questions for you:

1. What happened to your 43V diesel boat?
2. How fast was it?
3. How fast is a 39V with diesels?

What took you so long

1. Terry sold it.. Have another 4300 Diesel boat on order with new vacuum bag layup.

2. 74 and change, a little more room and might have hit 75. Looking for 78-80 with the new one. Also a module will be coming out shortly which will increase hp/tq, similiar to what is done on the trucks, but less hp applications.

3. I believe Terry stated in another thread with 4 people, full of gas, genny, windlass, they hit 80. Lighter load, less options and more prop testing will get closer to 85. One hell of a poker runner, especially with todays fuel prices.

Jeff

I was on 43 V, "Where's Eileen" for the last two FPC runs and the boat was great, it rides like a Cadillac.

Obviously you like the boat if you are building another. What speeds are you hoping for with twin 700's?
