Another happy Nor-Tech owner
2 months into ownership of my first Nor-Tech and the only thing wiping the smile off of my face is the fact that she's going into storage next week for the winter.
All I can say is "wow, what a fantastic boat!" She's a 2005 4300V that I found on the classifieds here. Triple 525 EFI's, Bravo XR's with IMCO lowers, and 28p Maximus 5 blades. She didn't come with a name, so we've settled on "Make Mine A Triple". I bought her with 142 hours on the meters, and have put 10-12 more on since we took delivery (we do a lot of floating in the Niagara River and Eastern Lake Erie). This boat turns heads like crazy, has more room than most boats in it's class that I have looked at, and handles like a dream. We've had 7 adults and 3 kids on board, and there was plenty of room to move around. The last time we were out, we hit 80.6MPH on the GPS at 4900RPM and there was plenty more. I'm sure we could get 90 in the right conditions, but I like to stay safe and reliable, so I doubt she'll ever get the chance. She cruises at 55-60MPH at 3400-3600 and cuts through Lake Erie waves like butter. It's my first experience with stepped hulls, and I can't believe how responsive this thing is. She had a few minor bugs that are anticipated with buying a used boat, but we got those sorted out relatively easily. Any way, just wanted to post up my extreme satisfaction with such a fantastic boat. I'm already counting the days to next Spring. Cheers. -Greg |
nice boat and top quality builder .
you need to store the boat down here in Florida for the winter and come down once or twice a month and enjoy the weekend and the N T :) |

Thanks Bob. When did you leave town? We probably have a few friends in common.

congrats....I looked at the boat a few times in the classifieds but was too far to go see. I purchased another 05 43 NT down in FLorida a few months ago....twin 1150's tho :cool-smiley-011:

I thought that was a sick boat for sure and smoking deal! I saw this boat in person last year on Lake Erie at Port Dover.
Very impressive. The previous us owner was there with another 4300 V that twin staggered 700s. Lotta $$ there! http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6208d734.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ps61c82f13.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...psb6f3336f.jpg The one with 700s http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...psccbc95c0.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ps13caa24c.jpg http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3faf39d4.jpg |
