Default 43 super vee vs Sunsation 43

Looking to move up from a 35 Formula. Looking hard at a 43sv and a Sunsation 43. Partial to the twin 700 package, but also thinking about triples in the Nortech. What do you guys think?

Ive had the pleasure to be on both..43 Sunsation with twin 600's and have owned 3 43's, last one with twin 700's. Both great boats, two different animals. The Sunsation will be smaller in all dimensions, cockpit, side to side width, cabin, over all length except engine compartment and weigh about 2-2500k less. It will get to 99mph as an average vs 92.8. and ride different as well. It depends what you are looking for..a corvette or a Masarati quatrpole

The craftsmanship is next to none on a Nor-Tech, its unbelievable the quality you notice just standing on one. Everything looks luxury but not gaudy, and refined but not plain. You're in TN, not TOO far, but still a hike up to Algonac, I'm sure Wayne would take you out on the factory F4, and Nor-Tech would definitely do the same.

I have a friend thinking about selling his 43V w/ 525s. It will be at Cumberland for the Poker Run if you'd like to check it out in person, its one of the nicest looking ones I've seen IMO.

Factory F-4 has been sold and is on its way to Miami.

As Jeff said, they are two different animals. It really comes down to what matters most to you in a boat.

I called Susnation at 7:30 last night. Joe answered the phone and and a couple of my questions.

Always good customer service from them.

I like the Sunsation, and I would also take a Corvette over a Masarati.

Go NT the Sunsation is a nice boat but for me and this go's for all boat builders, I like the dash in front of the driver not all over the boat.
