Default any background on this?

Mildly intereting in possibly considering thinking about making a phone call on this boat..

Thought Id ask some questions here first..

Anyone know some history or background on this one? I like the colors, looks like a clean boat with reliable power for an ok price..

anyone been on it?

Ya.. I was looking at same size boats with twin o/b's but i cant find anything that I like thats updated with full paint.. twins are nice but I think keepin up with a single would be easier.. speed differences are hard to rate because outboards have such small HP andstill produce higher top speeds..

I know that boat has been for sale for about a year.

I think the thing the hurts it is the off brand power.
It almost seems like one is better off sticking with "regular" power. That carb'd stuff just doesn't fly.

Not to mention they had issues with those bottoms. $hit loads of power and not a bunch of top end from what I hear (but have never owned one).

If you really interested in a Nordic Thor . You should talk with someone that has seat time in one of these boats.
The bottom has been change on the new Nordic Thor cat.
With that being said,John L has some seat in one. We also have two of the New Nordic Thor cats. One with Merc racing 525/92 mph
700sci nxt carbon kevlar 112mph.
