New Heat Owner
 

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the boating scene and did alot of reseach here on the forums before I decided to bite the bullet and purchase a 1996 Nordic Heat. I thank everyone for their contributions and information I soaked in.

I live in montreal, Canada and drove 1300miles to upstate maryland to inspect and purchase the boat.

Although I did not yet have a chance to put it in the water (apart from the sea trial during the survey) I am sure I will enjoy this boat for years to come.

Here is a picture of the boat and rig at a truck stop on my way home...

That is a rare one. They only made a few boats with the hull windows. I have friend here who has one.
Welcome aboard Montrealer.
Regards,
Steve

nice! Welcome to the Nordic Navy!

Very nice and welcome aboard. Heat's and Excursions, It must be a disease.
Best of luck with your boat.

Nice boat and welcome

Thanks every one.

Steve Did they only install the hull windows on the boats with completely enclosed cuddy? Most nordics I have seen for sale do not have a door to enter the cuddy area from the cockpit but mine does. I will take more pics this weekend if I can get it in the water.

Ray, All I can say about the excursion is that this was the FIRST time I was hauling a boat or any trailer, and I was VERY comfortable driving it, almost like the boat wasnt there once the hydraulic breaks actually started working... I can definately see why people would pick this thing as a tow vehicule :evilb:

Except for Butch's '96 which does not have a cabin door, every Heat I have seen does. I don't think the door or lack thereof had anything to do with it. It was styling trend that ended with the '96 and possibly '97 model boats. There was also a solid white one that is featured in the movie Pegged.
Actually they do make the cabin seem more open when you are inside.
Regards,
Steve

Congrats on the new purchase I'm glad to see another Nordic owner in Canada we are a rare breed up here. What kinda power in your boat stock or has it been changed

Congrats on your purchase, Nordics get a lot of attention here in Canada.

Heats and Excursions - a definite disease.

Hey Tapp
Where do you keep your Nordic in Sask? I am not that far away, we boat on Lake Wabamun. It is 50 miles west of Edmonton. I have a Whipplecharged 2007 Rage. There were no Nordics on our lake when I brought mine up from Lake Havasu. Now there are five. I guess I was good advertising.:thankyouthankyou:

Hi there,
We boat on Last Mountain Lake 25 miles NW of Regina, SK.
There must be at least one Nordic in every State and every Province by now. We should have everybody throw some fresh pic's on OSO when boating season slows down.

Yup definitely a nice setup, a match made in heaven!


Nordics in canada? I think it will be a VERY long time before I cross another Nordic here in Quebec, its 2700 miles from lake Havasu... I would expect to see a couple in western Canada but I would be very surprised to cross another Nordic up here.

The looks and exclusivity were definitely a contributing factor in my decision!

There is actually a Nordic flame not far from you in Gatineau.
Here in Ontario I've been to quite a few lakes and me and my brother in law are the only 2 I've seen.
