  1. just show up during business hours...thats how I bought my first NorTech in 04, got a 1 hour tour of the facility..from fiberglass, to interiors being made, to rigging, engine development, and then paint. The Norwegians Trond, and Nils, were easy to deal with, straight forward, and you could tell they took pride in their boats. I bought 6 mos later. This was very different when I was at DI. Arrogant, I felt like I was getting worked over by some rude Greek guy..very pushy. Even one of the mechanics, or someone involved with the co was a complete jack azz, he put down evey brand, including NT, and told me that they dont have the funds to put that 39CC together, and our boats are the real deal...and I must have heard from the drunk/high guy that he was one of the owners at least 25 times. Once I questioned who designed their 36cc bottom, thats when the problems started...why I was questioning that. I walked out of there actually pissed. I did finally get a call back from a very nice salesmen.. Karl, who told me what was going on there, and the one owner is no longer there, something like that.. Regardless, I would never do business there, and will be looking at the 39 NT, 39 SV, and or 37 and 41 Bahama at the Miami show. believe me they are doing great even have a great salesman in tim he sold 4 DI at the FTL show the product is not the same as before those boys have done alot of progress i love there boat. Are you the owner, as well as the same guy on THT going by the name of BEST. I know Tim Gallager.

  3. Sorry but DI are just plain UGLY......... thats your opinion.. mine is different
  4. Judging by their grammer? Have pics of the DI from the last KW run taken from the NorTech. I looked at a DI extensively when I was going through my change, do I want another sport boat, or go to a fast and fishable CC. I've looked at them since 08..wanted to buy in 09...a more fishy version, along with a 36YF, and 41 Bahama at the show, this was before I found out about the NT. The quality is good on the DI, but not the same as a NT or even Bahama, which I consider to be an excellent built boat as well.. The way it planes out with one of the salesmen on board, not mentioning names, is totally different than the NT...there is more of a plowing effect, bow down till up to speed. The ride to 50mph is way different, doesnt carry the nose as well, definatly heavy.... Fuel economy is not the same, and its 3' shorter, and doesnt feel as wide. Doesnt keep plane at 10mph, and when hitting large type waves on that run..and it was rough the whole way there with copter above us all..I didnt see any rub rails come undone, or coaming pads pop off the NorTech.. Im just stating a fact, and they have a place in this marketplace as well..How well they will do over time will tell..I guess you need to find some of their customers that have ridden on both boats...preferably same poker runs, same seas, to see what Im takling about. Jeff I guess we all have different opinions am not going to sit here and argue with you about quality or fishable boats but one thing i can say that the new 39 DI is looking awesome..
  5. 300 gallons of fuel? Pretty much explains why this is a coastal cruiser and not a great fishing boat. Ive run this model, and at 52-55mph we were averaging 1.5mpg,.. Nortech also has an available second tank holding close to 500 gallons. 500 should be standard on a boat this size with triples. I get around the same fuel efficiency and there are times I wish I held more than 420 gallons. Boat looks nice, would make a great tender to a large yacht. I feel like it falls into the Deep Impact market more so than the hardcore fish boat market. They sold 3 at the show..plus the gray show boat..must be doing somthing right. If I can swing it come Miami I will be building a Hardcore fish model, but till then, unless someone steps up to the plate they dont see a need to change what's selling...reason told, being set up best of both worlds.. As to the Deep Impact market..No Way, quality is much better, no bow rise on take off, flys level, has more interior cockpit space and just looks better..plus they hold their resale..does 73 with trip 300's. and 78 with trip 350 Yammies. Thats where Im uncertain in which way to go.. Merc or Yammies... I like the controls and Smartcraft, along with the throttles, reminds me of my 43NT still sporty, but want everything around the helm set up for hardcore fishing.. jass how you know that quality is better than the deep impact actually build now days??
