I've been watching it, but I'm not sure how it comes on plane with the Blackhawks.. I'm in no hurry, I really want something with a side door if possible.

Why would you say that the SCT drives are crap?

They are not very durable. That is why they went away in favor of the Scx. Talk to a few of the Imco guys. Their wording was something like the gears act like they are made of glass. If they were so good they would still be made.

Let me clear some things up here. First, the Sc1000 or SCT was the predecessor to the SCX and yes it required a transmission. It was Imco's first real answer to the bravo short comings. I have yet to hear of any problems regarding durability (within reason) with the SCT and I have been working on high performance boats since the mid 90's. I have rebuilt dozens of SCX drives though. The SCT did not sell well because of its price and space constraints due to it requiring a transmission. Because of this, Imco designed the SCX. The SCX and SCT use the same mid section and can be paired with SCX or SC lower units. If a customer has a failure of the SCT upper, they can simply unbolt the SCT and install an SCXT upper in place. The SCXT is basically a SCX with no cone clutch. Based on my real world experience I would conclude that the SCT is a damn good drive

Agree. Good in the right application. Most drive failures aren't usually the drives fault.

Same here. Getting ready to flat deck this old ‘85 Scarab. Had some nice cool weather a few days ago so suited up and cut 2000# of deck and helm out.

Just pulled it up on Instagram.... looks bristol.... this would fit what you shared was your goal of fresh & salt use.... I noticed it hailed from Dana Pt so chin up she's seen salt before ya but bilge looks Havazoo sparkly.... think that trailer is a tube so there is that rust issue in future. My attitude on smaller craft boating is and remains Use em and enjoy! Hope this one works for ya.

For the record, Nick was not driving that 360 on the rocks. It was a customers boat, driven by the customer. I'll add that the customer was a very experienced boater. This boat was #1 or #2 out of the mold. Not a friendly design.

Wasn't going fast either. Cruising into wishing well. Sweeping turn and pitched them.

I agree Dave (obviously). I was considering a 3600 nortech super cat before we bought the current cig but I just love big vee’s too much.

That Hallet Ricky has looks really
Nice and those 500EFI motors is an awesome Package. Great motor. Price seems more than reasonable too

I know you’ve mentioned in the past you’re a fan of the 3600 SC before. I am leaning more and more towards one. Any suggestions on things to look for or ones to stay away from?

There are only 2 or 3 boats that I did not buy over the years that I really kick myself for not buy, and one of them is the all red 3600 that’s around Havasu still. Preston had it, I looked 3 times and didn’t pull the trigger. Dumb!

yeah, I saw him running around last weekend. It was funny because there were two mostly red 3600's for sale at the same time when that one was up.

I don't have any specific knowledge on what to or not to look for. They're known to be heavy and not as fast as other cats in their class. They do have a porpoise to drive through but what non pod cat doesn't? They're comfy, cool little cabin, stable and predictable. I watched @Bling Bling run his from channel islands harbor to santa barbara in LEGIT 6 foot swell and wind chop a bunch of years ago. Garnered my respect for that boat on the spot. Great boat. Haven't heard of any build issues or things to "look for" just what I mentioned above. Nor-Tech is a solid company and build great boats. Hope you pick one up. Buddy from Chicago just sold his flat deck cig (it's coming to Ca) and put a deposit on a 3600 this week.

I agree. The last two weekends sum it up. It's all cats. Seems like nobody wants a big vee and they are being phased out.

But the big vees are my jam. I'm keeping my eye out for a 400. But have been looking online at east coast boats too.
