Thanks for posting the great pictures. Is that yellow cat an MTI? I dig some of those center console boats.....can they hang with the faster boats?

Yes, beautiful cat, we have all kind of boats in the club, we had seven CC in the run yesterday, two 38', one 33' and five 32', they all had a minimum for twin 300 Merc Verados and they all run mid 65s, so they do pretty well staying with the group, my boat only goes a bit over 70 depending on the load.

I would think your boat would be faster than 70 especially in salt water. I have a buddy that has the same boat and when he had stock HP500's in it he was seeing 84 mph and that's only with 150 more H.P. total.

I'm pretty sure that yellow MTI was in Havasu a few years back and on display at the DS street fair. I can't remember if pier57 brought it or not, but it was there with 700s.

That NorTech CC is a really nice boat, I love the colors!!!

It might have been, he trailers it all around, I didn't get a chance to talk to him to ask what power, maybe next time, usually after lunch we all hang out and talk, not much of that this time due to the weather coming in cut our day short.

With a boat that weighs almost 11K lbs 150hp is a lot, plus I had her tanks full so i could make it up and back without stopping for fuel, I burned up about 120 gallons.
