Default Turbine Nortech Cat @ Coast Guard Festival in GH

That was a pretty Bad @ss rig to see pulling into Hanky Panky cove on Saturday at Coast Guard. Heard all the rumors from a poker player from vegas, to the CEO of Enron. Possible speeds 157mph-319mph. It was Kick A**, whats the scoop. Was it 90 DB, or did the cops figure the owner could possibly afford to fight the ticket .

I on the other hand had my $10.00 Challenger parked for the day coming into Hanky for noise. They must have figured I could not afford to fight them in court.

I saw that bad a$$ Nortech as well. I can't believe I forgot to take a picture. Who knows the story? Where's it from? Speed? etc. Thanks!

I think it was a 50 footer. It looked like it had a big eagles wing on the side, I'm sure it carried over to the deck. I think it had red's, gold's, brown's. Can't totaly remember. I did not get the best look.

Yeah...quite an impressive piece of machinery! Especially when Austin forgets to charge it overnight and Magic Medicine's Sunsation is attached to the front towing it in. I fell in 50 degree Lake Michigan trying to help pull it into a slip at Hammond....he thanked me and said he'd give me a ride later this summer...he has since idled past me 3 times in the Playpen downtown Chicago....short memory I guess!
