Just wanted to take the opportunity to thank Johnny Tomlinson for comming over to check out the 50 cat. It was a pleasure to have him at the controls. A true gentlemen and... not a bad boat driver either. He might be on to something.
We took a little test run in Pine Isalnd sound today to make sure the boat was ready for the poker run season. Did not want to push it so with 300 gallons and six guys he took it up to a leisurely 160 mph jaunt. His words, "I'm impressed, she'll easily run in the high 70's without any problem. Pitch up to 35's and who knows!" We were running 31" pitch today.
Again thank you Mr. Tomlinson.

I thought there were only 5 seats in that boat...........

Believe or not one guy actually sat on the floor behind the front seats.

Terry-
Never mind JT (no disrespect) and never mind the 160+ blah blah blah !!!
You got Augy out in a boat ???
How did you manage that??
The last time he was in a boat Benny Kramer was driving it !!!!!!

Outstanding !!!!!

All the best,
Hans

Um...PS - That boat is a moving work of art, as is everything that comes out of Nor-Tech !!!!
Kudos to Nils, Trond, you and the whole gang !!

Hans

Thanks Hans,
Yeah pretty weird having Auggie out there. I thought he was going to take a nap during the ride. Said he wanted to go like 90 down the highway when he got in his car. Speed has lingering effects.

Wow -
I spoke to him a that evening and he was all amped up!
Something tells me he may come along more often now...

Um...what about me ????

all the best,
Hans

Are you coming to NYC for the poker run ?

Awesome graphics on that boat and many fine examples of what true custom boat building can achieve. Terry post some of the pics of the next 4300 coming out I wonder who's it could be take care.
