On wednesday of DS me and the wife were cruisin the lake alone and ended up in an empty channel. We saw this boat cruisin thru also. Husband and wife alone. It looked so clean on the water. The lines were sharp and streamline esp at the rear. I didnt see it the rest of the weekend. Does anyone know anything about this bad boy?? Mph? Power?

Is this the one with 1350's and M-8's. I think the other (1st one built) 43' Enforcer had 1075's.

I really like the Nordics, the wife and I were staying at the Islander over the weekend and camped next to a guy that had a newer Nordic 29' deck. We both really liked it and the layout.

If my memory is correct it is based off of a Skater that Nordic paid Douglas Marine for the rights to use.

Skater splash. One of these passed us last year in the first group at desert storm. We were doing a solid 160mph an he had about 5-10mph on us in rough water. We were about 10th at that time. Great looking boat for sure. Nordics boats are in my opinion best looking boats on the water right now. V and cats

That boat is bitchin!! I really like the fact that,unlike most others in its class the rear of the boat looks totally usable to swim from which is a big deal to most of us who like to or have to swim to stay cool. :thumbsup

Did you talk to him? Pretty cool guy, had an MTI with something like 1200s in it. Sold it because he spent a ton of money using it. Bought the Nordic and is loving life.

One of my favorite things about this boat is that it is classy and the gel works with the lines of the boat.. I'm not big into those paint jobs where it looks like a kid threw a couple of paint buckets at the boat.

We talked a little here and there, he was super cool and said he did most of his boating up in Tahoe and lived in Nevada. That is one hell of a long drive, I am assuming he flies back and forth since he leaves his trailer at the Islander?

I think it was the first 43 parked in front of the Heat during D.S. that boat is bad. Seeing it in the water from deck level it looks 20' wide. Can't wait to see what John comes up with for gel, he's doing the best work in the industry right now imo.

???? The plain ol gel coat on the above pictureed boat is boring. I wanna see this boat with come color to match the lines. The lines is what this thread is really about n e ways. The gel is boring IMO. No disrespect the the gelcoater that did it if hes on the boards. Its just plain jane to me. Customer want or not. Its boring gel.

The 43 is a great looking boat- one of my favorites. This must be the first one.
Owner lives just north of Atlanta, or at least he did when this shot was taken. ('09, Sarasota)

Thats a 34 in the picture. Freddy drove it around the country a few years ago doing a bunch of poker runs with it and they sold it back there. The 43 in this thread was built last year right before desert storm. similar paint job but much different boat. Its the first low profile one they have done. the first had a much wilder paint job with a taller deck and 1075s.
