Re: Nordic Quality?
For some reason I am finding the need to defend the west coast boats.
Not including the Nordic, I would put the Warlock and LaveyCraft against any east coast under 30' boat. The 2750 NuEra is an awesome boat in the rough.
I have seen these boats run with the best of them in the roughest water there is at the highest speeds. It was not but a couple of years ago the only boat to have in F1 was a Warlock. Then the Activator came on the scene and ruled, now the 2750 Lavey can run with the Activator any day.
Last weekend I watched a 25' Warlock with a 575 run side by side with a 30' Extreme SVL (the 2 time SVL world champion) in a race. So I will not buy that there are west coast boats every bit as good in the rough as their east coast counterparts.
Then again, we can beat all of them in our little 24' bat boat.
The only point I was trying to make is that you do not have to buy an east coast boat to get true offshore performance, in under 30' both Warlock and LaveyCraft can deliver in a manner matched by only 1 east coast boat (Activator).
There is no better proving ground than the races. Poker Runs do not count nor does the Sunday drive across the bay, if you lift in a Poker Run you are the only one who knows. You lift when racing and it gets shoved down your throat very quickly!!!

Re: Nordic Quality?
I appreciate the feed back.
I'm in a Eastcoast world and went searching for a west coast custom for a reason.....well more than one actually.
I've never even seen one, (other than than the old jet boats my pals have) and I put a blind deposit on a Nordic due to all the rave I've heard about west coast build quality!
