Fastest SOB hull???

[Trimmed Out15]

Problem is, no one wants to spend money to go slower. Lets face it, we all want to go fast. Especially if you are already going fast, there is no turning back!

You need to add JamesGang and his 22 velocity to that list..... My money is on him

That man literally NEVER let's out, I've seen it first hand multiple times. Great driver, I'd run with or next to him anytime anywhere.

My logic behind that thought was to think of something to help get the price down of SOB boats. I think that the bottom line of why new SOB's are not selling is simply the cost. I know that I would certainly be looking at a new boat if you could get the cost in mid 20s/low 30s. The main driving factor (1/3 the cost) is the price of outboard engines. A brand new 150hp outboard can be had for around $10k. If you look at single outboard racing all of over the world, you will see that they are going smaller. My thought is that a 20ft hull specifically built for smaller power may change the market. It has else where. That was my train of thought. We are all entitled to our own opinions.

That's more along the lines of the Allison GS isn't it?

And again the Gang of Five .............Tuff, Progression, Bernico, Nordic, Sutphen

My High Maintenance bottom and deck were new 2 years ago.. New deck mold new bottom.

How many High Maintenance boats got built? I don't think more than a half dozen.

People will buy them used and try to put 300s on them

coen tried that lighter stripped down version that would move with small power no one bought them

If the market was there, Daris would finish the new Grandsport and might be the best overall, especially with the least horsepower.

I like your thinking! A 21 GS with a 300XS would rock. Seating for 3 in the front and 4 in the back and still run 90's!

[schiadart]

Greg I built one and the market went to ****. A glass boat would start at 65 grand and go up to 80+grand with carbon. Not many have the coin for new purpose built boats.

Does anyone else just not really see the Nordic being in the same class as the other Challenger derived 21s? Ive run a few Nordic's they're real nice boats but always seemed more on the bling side than the hard core offshore side like a Progression, Superboat, etc

[schiadart]

This lab is dam fast.

[CrazyHippy]

Nordic have changed ALOT since the Davis crew took over in 08 (or there abouts). They went from looking fast, and running just ok, to being fast, and looking great too.

An 02-03 Nordic has nothing to do with the boats they are building today.

[schiadart]

sorry just a different client.

[schiadart]

x2 Randy makes very nice boats.
