5/8/2008 - Powerboat Award

For the first time in it's history, Nor-Tech has received an Award for Product Excellence. 3900 Super Vee, Powered by twin Yanmar 480's

Powerboat Magazine made the formal presentation at their annual awards banquet in Los Angeles over the weekend. However we received a special visit today on May 8th. Bob Teague, Victoria Newton and Kevin Cooper stopped by to make a special presentation to the staff and crew.

The award is for "Outstanding Offshore V-Bottom Workmanship". As Bob said this is a category that's dear to him. He stated that it's hard to make a diesel package look good but our workmanship on the 39 V was truly the finest of any of the boats at this year's test. From the rigging to wiring, upholstery, paint and so on, it was superb. He pointed out though that to qualify for any award the boat also has to have outstanding performance. The 39 delivered on all points.

Thank you to Powerboat Magazine.

Thanks to Stu and Jackie Jones and the rest of the Florida Powerboat Club for another great event.

Nor-Tech was particulary well represented this year with 35 registered teams consisting of members from the US, Canada, Norway and the U.K.

This year the talk of the docks was the all new 50 Roadster cat "Canada Thrust" powered by twin T53 - 7 Turbines. That boat was also joined by the turbine powered 50' "Aqua Doll" and "Warbird" catamarans.

We would also like to thank the many customers and friends for their continued support of Nor-Tech and making our presence known throughout the Poker Run community.

5/1/2007 - Roadster Cat

New Cat in Town.

May 25, 2007

Nor-Tech has released the third version in the series of 43’, 47’ and 50’ SUPERCATS.

The first boat to hit the water is a quad engine 5000 Roadster. This third model shares the basic design cues of the GTR (Retractable Hard Top). While giving passengers an open feel it has a new look and more protection from the elements than found on the previous boats. 

The cockpit features seating for six with plenty of leg room for all. Other features found is a twelve speaker sound system which is also integrated into the intercom. Fore and aft cameras provide all occupants with a comprehensive view of the surroundings displayed on three separate monitors.

Below decks is accessed through two flush mounted deck hatches. The starboard side contains a porti-potti and a sink with a pull out shower. The port side has ample storage with a large four place fender rack.

The generous engine bay was designed to accommodate twin or quad engines and an option for turbines.

The first boat features quad Mercury Racing 662 EU engines which are CE approved for emissions in the European Union. The engines are coupled to four NXT Drives. Exhaust is routed below water with Nor-Tech’s Stealth sound system which is also approved for CE standards compliance.

The next models on the horizon will be the new 4300 and another 5000 cat with turbines.
