29 Nordic deck boat or e ticket luxury cat?

[r1ver_rat]

Which one would you choose? The Nordic 29 deck with a 600 or the e ticket with 520's? And why?

 

[RiverDave]

I would think the pricing wouldn't even be remotely close on those two boats being ones a single and the others twins. The eticket really wakes up with a little more hp then suggested FYI.. And I would do ilmores over mercs in a twin application because they are lighter.

As for which, it would depend on the application to me..

Welcome and Hey... Don't forget to turn out the lights before you log off.

As far as price wise, yes the E Ticket is more money. But if you subtract the cost from the mercury 600sci from twin 520's it's not that great. Especially when either boat is over 150k. Nordic you get big power and bling with the headers. E ticket n/a mild 520hp. My question is who makes a better boat? Who is better in the rough? Who has the resale? Who had the better build quality?

Welcome to RDP.:thumbup:


This boat, a Nordic 29, is currently for sale at Nordic. It's a brand new boat, built for inventory, and they can put any power you want in it. Click the link below.:thumbup:

That's the boat I was looking at. But to take the 565 out and add the 600 with the ITS

Not sure I agree.. The eticket is not 520HP, it is 1040hp.

You are 100% true. But the twin 520's only cost just under 15k more than the 600. Ya, it may seem like a lot. But really it isn't when you are past the 160k. That's the difference between both boats.

The Nordic with a 600 is within 15k of an e ticket with 520's? Am I reading that right? (That can't be right?)

You can't beat twins for docking and trailering. You can't beat a single with a efficient cruise, you can't beat a deep tunnel, or a boat built and designed in Havasu. Drive both and speak to owners of both.

 

[Heavyhauler]

According to the heading, the unfinished boat at Nordic is a 26, not a 29. About any of the best single deck boats, Nordic, Howard, Eliminator, with a 600 will push the 150k mark. Most e Tickets, prior to now came with 525's stock, and were over 200k. They may have adjusted their pricing for the new 520 package. As for quality of build, now that I've owned a Nordic, I am thoroughly pleased with the quality, the value, and the rough water performance. No experience with E-Ticket. There aren't that many of either the E-ticket or Nordic deck boats out there yet, and even less for sale, which speaks well for both, so I think the jury is out on true resale at this time.

I have ridden in a 29 deck with a teague 800 and was thoroughly impressed with the rough water capability, it was just a busy weekend in Parker so nothing drastic, but was leaps and bounds better going through it than my rides on a conquest. Those nordic's do have a big tunnel on them.

 

[JD D05]

I know E-Ticket makes a great boat but as far as the looks I would have to go with Nordic or Howard. To me the E-ticket looks like something off of the Jetson's but that is just my worthless opinion....

So I vote Nordic

how much is the 520 package???

 

[HavaToon]

I have a Nordic 29 and it handles ruff water no problem, better than my old 29 magic wizard. We were out prop testing 4 weeks ago when it was really blown out, white caps and 3ft chop still running smooth in the 80's.

 

[Outdrive1]

I'd go for the twins.

 

[DickieB]

I love both of them. Only problem I have is...........I don't have the $ to buy either.

 

[RiverDave]

I am still in shock they are even close to the same price.

 

[Heavyhauler]

600 with Sportmaster list just under 65,000. 520 with xr is just under 45,000 list

 

[plaster dave]

To me you can't compare these two boat just because they are both decks. Way to different.

 

[454Rocket]

Either way, make friends and get a ride in both. Both E-Ticket and Nordic should have a demo in their back-pocket though.

There's absolutely no way I would drop any amount of $ on a new boat without a ride. I've been in and driven some popular boat models and shit myself more than once at how they performed... way below expectations.

 

[That Guy]

I regularly ride in Matt's E-Ticket and it is the nicest riding boat I've ever been in period....handles any kind of water with ease. Good luck....:thumbsup
