Good question; I did just shoot them a note. I started with the RDP forum since this is such a helpful & responsive group. I'd emailed and called Nordic just to ask about total dry weight for trailering (they quote ex power) and never got a response.
I recently made an offer on this 2003 Nordic Rage and was hoping to seal the deal this Friday. After doing a lot of reading and getting suggestions on the RDP forum, I really liked the Rage design, and one of the major selling points was that the construction is all composite and wood-free...
Another question - are any of the three referenced above (24 Nuera, Tremor, Rage) especially prone to chine walking, deceleration reactions, feeling loose at 70+, etc? Are tabs highly recommended on any? I'd likely be looking at the 8.2HO so probably 70-75 top end depending on the model...
Can you please check if there’s an October 2007 article on a Lavey 24? I’m looking into buying one of these and am trying to find as much info as I can before heading out West from NJ. Would really appreciate any help, thank you!
That brings up another question - how real are quoted prices vs signaling? Is there material negotiating room in this market?

Yeah, great looking boat. Unless my current boat doesn't make it through the season I don't want to pull the trigger on an order till the end of the year. Doing my homework now to be ready.
25' is my cutoff. Funny, full circle. I originally wanted a used closed-deck Donzi 28ZX or Formula 292, and in searching in that size range found these brands. My dad convinced me they would be too big for NJ's (awesome) intracoastal waterway and for pulling the kids tubing/skiing. I'm...
Good suggestions, thanks all. From what I've read the Shockwave sounds like a great hull for chop, but as much as I like function over form I can't get there with the cabin layout. I'll do more reading on the Howard, good looking boat!
Awesome pic, Lavey Jr!
Hi all, this is my first post. I'm from New Jersey and interested in buying a new walk-through performance boat. These are rare at best around here (as are sub-30' go-fasts in general save closed-bow Donzis), so I was excited to find some really cool brands out West.
I'm looking for something...
