Thats Gel coat? its amazing how they lined the stripes up on the hull and deck!

yes mine the blue one is all gel coat.the other one has a paint job by taod

Love it!

Nice looking boat what kind of power and drives?

!
 

#6 drives and 1200hp motors

Where do you live and where is the boat?

i live in southern california and the boat is sitting at nordic in lake havasu

I heard that boat is a sled. I hope that you can dial it in and run some decent numbers.

Looks like a 40 Skater LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS A 40' skater bottom. and yes my boat is laid up alittle thicker but then again we arent going for any world records here.i wanted something that runs good and can take on the big water like nothing.this boat ran 145mph with 1075's. i dont know if i would call that a sled :) for being 43' and not thin like a sheet. it is full carbon/kevlar layup.

Plenty Fast and Built Like a Tank...Puuurfect.

Dont get me wrong the boat is badd asss and looks better than 90% of the cats out there. It on the other hand wount run 145 with 1075's. They got rid of that deck because it was too tall and the boat would not run the numbers they wanted. Either way I like the boat and wish you the best of luck with the project.

actually it did. tres martin ran it to 140+ but then they ran out of room. and they didnt get ride of the top deck they still have it, but they built a new flat deck to shave off some weight and get the best speeds they can. its like mti.they have a pleasure model and they also have a race model. same with nordic, my boat is more like a pleasure and the new one they have is more for racing/poker run shootouts

we will find out some real numbers when i get the 1200's in it :)

Good luck I love the graphics and hope the boat runs great. Im not hating just had some bad info.

i understand and yes i heard the samething which was true at the time because randys boat was the first one they built so they had to get it dialed in.they moved the drives acouple times and moved the engines around and then tres came out and blue printed the bottom of both and they finally got some decent speeds out of it.the boat was bow heavy so they had to move motors back as far as possiable.i believe on the new deck they solved some of that whyll fabing the top deck they moved the deck back to make it even and then made the deck more low profile to shave off some weight and probably alittle faster due to less resistance. as you can tell my deck is alot taller then the new one they are building. i actually like my deck alittle better not because its mine im just more into the taller decks

Sweet post some pics as the project comes along.

Is Randy's 43 w/ TAOD paint for sale?

Its on the right trailer :lolhit:

nordic is finishing up capping and dash and hatches after l.a. boat show then it will be going to gary over at gt performance for rigging and 1200hp motors built by him

down2lb,
Beautiful boat. Good luck and keep us posted with your results.
Didn't Gary build the 1500s in the 170+ Eliminator Daytona?
Regards,
Steve

thanks steve. yes gary teague built the motors on greg olsens 33' eliminator who won the desert storm shoot out, there 1650hp motors. gary is a real great guy and his work is one of a kind. i dont think he really gets as much credit as he deserves. i wouldnt go with anyone else other then gary when it comes to boating work. i mean he does more then just building engines he can do almost everything over at gt performance. he cares about his customers rather then always thinking about how much "MONEY" he can rape out of someone. theres been several occasions ive asked him his opinion which could have brought him work and made some money on but gave me his real opinion which resulted in no work for him and im glad i listened.ill keep you posted on the progress on the boat

How fast is it?

Recognizing that this is its first outing...and that it isnt dialed in yet.

Chris

why you selling the boat?

For Sale
 

Might Be Willing To Sell My Boat. I Need A Boat Running For This Season.i Dont Want To Sell It But If I Get The Right Price I Will. Its For Sale In Classifieds Right Now.open To Possiable Boat Trade Too.

If you run your boat on lakes you can afford to have it laid up light. But if you're running to Catalina and such you want a more substantial hull underneath you. Smart boat buyers know that 2-4s in the Pacific is far different than on Havasu.

BTW the last 42MTI I saw tested w/1075s ran 146 so you were right with one of the top cats on the market. You should run 155+ with the 1200s.

To answer CB-BLR's question it would not surprise me to see the 1350 boat run 170, maybe more when the dial in is done. It's a Skater bottom with a light layup.
