I am between boats right now, last 3 were cats. I have ridden in many brands from Skater to Motions but have never ridden in a Nortech. I like the layout and cockpit design and am ready for a cabin of sorts but not ready to give up the cats. How does the handling (porpoising, turning, speed, planing etc.) compare with the other cats? Is the cabin really functional or do you need to be a contortionist to get into them?

I'm 6'5, 240. Though I haven't slept in one I have laid on the bed to experience the space. Perfect for what you would use it for. To crash. Same with the head. To be able to poop and shower relatively comfortably in a 36' cat is a major plus in my book.
A friend has a rig for sale with Merc 700's. Turn key, reliable power. In person the boat is unreal. Photos do not do it justice. I've ridden in it a couple of times and love it more each time. Best of luck with your search!

They built and sold a lot of them. They are not a race boat and are heavier more reasonably priced then other 36' cats but still have an excellent ride and much better then any V. They have an excellent safety record. Many people buy them as a first high performance catamaran. They are then traded for one with more HP. I am selling mine becasue I moved and want a smaller, faster cat. If I still lived in Ft. Lauderdale I would just repower mine or trade it for one with bigger power.
