F4s
 
Why are there 5 f4s in the classifieds. Is everybody trading there boats for f4s with 1075s. Maybe they will get the price down so i can afford one..

Knot 4 Me 05-16-2008 11:05 AM

Of the 4 in the classifieds, one was traded on a Formula 350SS, one is a dealer stock boat, one was traded for a 1075 boat, and the final one was traded for a cat.

JeffC 05-16-2008 11:33 AM

I dont know the reason for trading but i think they are the ideal v hull boat. Speed, luxury and looks all in one.

yesrej 05-16-2008 04:43 PM

i will have one....one day.... one will be mine.

Magic Medicine 05-16-2008 08:05 PM

Excellent boat, I would love to own one some day.

They are awesome. Sunsation did a fantastic job designing that boat. All 3 used boats are like new. Great deal for someone.

I had an opportunity to be on one during LOTO..actually Mentlepause's F-4..It's a great boat, all the way around..The used ones are priced very good and if you're in the market, now is the time to buy..


Mentalpause...love that avitar:D..running up to Ship Island today with the family and 3 other CC's. 110 mile trip...

Did you take Sandy's boat? It is still Colette's favorite boat, I'm still a bit partial to the 4300.:D

I figured you would change your avatar to a picture of me doing the wax on, wax off thing on the 4300!:evilb:

Boomer 880 05-18-2008 11:32 AM

Jassman and Mentalpause... I would love to hear your opinions on the ride between the 4300 Nortech and the F4. I rode on a Nortech, but never an F4.

Both outstanding. 4300 is a heavier boat, which helps in snotty water. 4300 feels bigger (and is bigger). 4300 cockpit has more room. Both great fit and finish. A lot of custom bling stuff on the F4, especially in the engine compartment. F4 will run faster on same power.

NorTech makes very nice interiors - I just can't get use to the side by side front bolster - Jass could not talk me into sitting up front next to him.:D

Jupiter Sunsation 05-18-2008 07:51 PM

I rode on both the NT 4300 and the F4 back to back at over 90 MPH for about 50 miles each. The F4 was running at 100 with 5 aboard in the open ocean (factory green boat has a few tweaks for the extra MPH, it has run 104). Boat was solid, fast ride. Rode on a 43 NT with triple 650's that has run 100 with a higher X dimension but was set up to run 92-94 the day I was on it. NT has a great layout for poker runs/ large groups and this boat was setup for comfort rather than outright speed. We had 7 aboard for the poker run and the boat didn't seem crowded. The cabin had the a/c going and we were running 50 on 2 motors (center prop had a problem) which is a nice option when you have triples.

Sunsation has only been doing the F4 for a year and has won a few nice accolades for the project. The NT has been out for about 6 years and they have tweaked the boat to be outstanding. Bottom line.... Sunsation runs real fast for twin 700's, somewhat exclusive boat with only a dozen made and some real high tech options. NT has a Cadillac ride in any water, runs respectively fast and has a lot of nice custom touches. Both companies rule the industry with their customer service. The decision would be like arguing about buying a Rolls Royce or a Bentley, either decision would be right for me!

Great comparision! I am sure you couldn't go wrong either way.

Reckless32 05-21-2008 02:15 PM

Crewed the local F4 with 700's this past Saturday in a local poker run spedning about six hours on it on a windy choppy day. Was very impressed with it's stability although we only scooted up to 88mph since it only has like 6 hours. The owner did not want to run it too hard until both he and the motors gets a few more hours on it. Very impressive across the board. Only minus in my mind would be cockpit size which is a signature of Sunsations. But with that said, I can't ever see myself having more than 3-4 passengers anyway without crampn' the fun in any boat....unless it's all hot women of course....:evilb:

What does Vorce refer too? Never heard of any of them called the Vorce F4.

Hull #3, Yellow Miami Boat Show/ Wharf Marina/ Vorce boat was sold to a guy in Michigan. The boat never even got wet due to the fact the Wharf/ Vorce thing fell apart just days after delivery so the eventual owner got a brand new untouched boat.

Mike Vorce was the scammer behind the Wharf Marina implosion.

I agree whats posted...I had an opportunity to be on Mentlepause's F-4 this last summer at LOTO..Awesome boat, fly's level, fast for it's size, great attention to detail and rides great. Reminds me of a M-5. My 43 Nor-tech is closer to a 45' boat and this being said is larger in the cockpit and cabin and is catered more towards comfort. It will run about 6 mph slower with the same power. This boat reminds me of a Masarati Quatrapole.:D

Yes
the boat was bought from the bank and it stayed
in Michigan. The guy lives near Detroit that bought
the boat.

megstoytoo 05-23-2008 10:48 AM

I looked at the Nortech before I bought a F4. Very nice boat. What sold me on Sunsation was the owners of the company and the personnel attention they spend on you and the boat even years after the purchase.

Reckless32 06-04-2008 10:15 PM

.....and that goes such a long way with an investment like these. Can't wait for their next 'tweener version in the 35-38' range. "Rumor" has it, it will either be the 32SS stretched a couple of feet, OR the F4 shrunk a couple of feet. Either way is a win, win design-wise.

last i heard was they were going to shrink the f4. i cant wait for them to come out with this boat. this would be something i would really consider.

Gunrunner72 06-10-2008 01:24 PM

Maybe I'll be ready for an upgrade by the time that comes around.......:party-smiley-004:

Adolph 06-21-2008 04:05 PM

In talking with Joe the tweener boat will be the F4 shrunk down. It was easier to build bigger and shrink.

crazyfast 07-28-2008 01:30 PM

2007 43' details to follow

Scagburner 07-28-2008 04:43 PM

Joe and Wayne announced Saturday night at the Sunsation Rally that the new 38’ Sunsation is in the works. It will be available in a staggered twin or side by sides if you would like more cockpit space. I think they said that the tooling is being built somewhere in Florida. The boat will be rigged similar to the 32’ers.

Nice boat. Was #2 out of the mold and the first 700 boat built. It has a lot of extra details since it was built for the Lauderdale show that year.

http://www.offshoreonlyclassifieds.c...o18405-en.html
Your ad reflects 65 hrs. on the boat whereas you noted 45 in your post.
