New to Nordic
 

Saying hello, we are the new owners of a 2001 25 Rage. Big change coming from 2 Bayliners with 3.0l engins :)

Congrats and welcome!

Heck yes, a big change in the right kind of way! Congrats.

Welcome to the Nordic Navy. That is a serious upgrade!
Best Regards,
Steve

Let's see some pics. I see the rage comes in open bow option is your like that or cuddy. Welcome I recently became a member on here as well and you will like the threads and learn a lot in the process.

Beautiful Rage - Looks cool on the triple axle trailer - Congrats on the purchase and welcome!

Thanks all, wife and I took it out today for a short windy ride. It was her first and only my second time on it. 1 for test run and then today. It is a very fun ride :D

I've been looking at the Rage to upgrade too, sounds like you're pleased so far.

Man when did the Corps COLA go up LOL…

Great looking boat, welcome and Semper Fi.

Yes MINK, we are very pleased. The idiots are doing their best to ensure our COLA is jacked. I retired and still work. Semper Fi John.

nice rage, welcome to the Nordic Navy!

Thank you Jay.

MINK,
I'm selling an 04 Rage with a Wipple charged 496 for $28k if your interested.

If its a closed bow I would love more info, you can email me at [email protected]

Great looking boat. Welcome I am sure you will love it.

Mink good luck on the Closed bow search, you don't see many of them around.

I anyone knows someone looking for an 09 rage mid cuddy send them my way.

Very true, I spend the night on my boat often though so it is a must.

not to thread creep, but here's a 25 closed bow.

I haven't been in a closed bow rage is there enough room to sleep up front? I heard it was questionable. If you are sleeping I would up size to a heat, just my 2 cents.

The Heat doesnt look like it has a larger vberth at all but maybe someone that has been in both will chime in. I really have no issue sleeping in my 22' Scarab but crawling under the dash is what I'm not happy with.

I am 6'3 and had no problem sleeping in my old Heat, laying flat my feet would hang off...I would go for the Heat, pretty everyone I know with a Rage bought a Heat or wants one. Than the heat guys want a Flame hahahaha

i'm 6'2" and i can lay diagonal along the hull and my feet don't hang off. thankfully my wife is only 5'1" so she doesn't take up much space haha

I know your opinion lol

and yeah I can see that happening with me aswell.

I had to remove a wall in back of my garage and shrink the shop size and even though a Heat will fit, I still need to fit my car, Harley and Rzr in the garage too. I think we are good with the Rage. Summer sun is brutal on things in the desert.

Went out for a quick run today to test her out in not real world conditions :) 1/4 tank of gas on one side and near empty on the other, no passengers, bow cover on and no wind. I was both pleased and a little surprised with the result even though it will be rare to see those numbers under normal conditions.

Such a great looking boat!

that's about right if it was smooth water conditions, the rage like some chop to "air out" so theres a couple more to be had, my best is 73.8 with bow cover on in ideal conditions, btw, welcome!!!

Great profile shot at the dock! Very classy color/graffic combo.
