Boat isn't anything but a house for the engines with a few seats. Man if it ain't beautiful though. Props to the designers & builders. They are true artists
I live on a lake in Alabama. About eight years ago, a 40+ roadster came through here. It made about ten runs back and fourth in a five mile loop. Faster each time. I took a video of it and went looking in my powerboat magazines and found the boat listed in the classifieds. It was a 2008 Nor Tech 40 something roadster with twin 1350s with the trailer going for $525K. I was watching Talladega on TV, in high volume stereo, when I heard those engines coming into our basin of the lake. It was awesome! Way too big for our lake during the season, but he was just getting used to it after he bought it. He took it somewhere else, and I haven't seen it, or anything like it, since. Nor Tech makes gorgeous boats that are incredibly fast! A guy has to have dreams...
He probly took it to LOTO or back to South Florida. LOTO has a VERY LONG lake. I love Nortech too their huge Vs and cats are almost unmatched for power and safety features. My fav Nortech boat would be an all white 50' cat with a racing canopy and quad Merc 1350/1550s with Arneson drives. I saw a white 50' cat with M&Ms all over it in the Ft.Myers, Florida dry pits. It was the biggest cat in the pits I was gobsmacked!!
The idle out is like hearing four promods start up at Las Vegas. Four thirsty monsters ready to put in work. While I approve I’m perplexed. It’s like a double edge sword, do I invest in four mountain motors knowing the maintenance is times 4, or a pair of turbines to save weight knowing I’ll have to go to an airport to service them. I’ll never have that problem but I still approve either way. Like others thanks for not covering up the engines with music.

Hello sir; I have seeing and watching videos, no like this one, such slow natural video, I can absolve the greatest intelligent dedication of this video. you are one of the few proud that I can see what's going on in your videos with a highest speed boat. Again, thanks for your videos, and continue to influence folks in the internet about this beautiful boat.... really nice...God Bless you, what ever place you go, again thanks. Respectfully; Andy
The first thing most people would say is'OMG! I can't afford the gas'! Actually the fuel cost is the cheapest part of owning that boat! I can't afford the dockage -storage or the big truck to tow that boat over land! Upkeep and insurance? Not! Oh and the price? One point six million $$!!
Sooooo.......4 HUGE V8's in this boat?!? Really? Holy crap, that's alot of power. For those of you who unfamiliar with these engines, I believe that they displace approx. 555 cubic inches or 9 L. Huge even by automotive standards. Mercury has been at the head of the game for as long as I can remember. When the 300 HP Black Maxx outboards first came out, they were the goto engine for ski boats all over Canada. I've captained a couple dual engine cigarette boats but never with FOUR ***4***. 2 was way faster than anyone needs to go.lmao 4 Turbo boosted, 1350 hp engines scares the crap out of me, in a manly short of way!!!lmao😂👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Relatively simple math of approximately .5 pounds of gasoline per hour per horsepower, depending on exact efficiency of engine (technical term is brake specific fuel consumption) so 1350hp x .5 pounds = 675 pounds of gasoline at 6.25 pounds per gallon giving around 108 gallons per hour per engine. 108 x 4 = 432 gallons +/- probably 10-15%. Another commenter said the math is about 1 gallon in 7 seconds which is closer to 514 gallons but turbo engines tend to be relatively efficient because they use their own heat as a power adder, compared to a supercharged engine which (at this hp level) would take over 100 hp just to turn the blower at top speed, lowering the net efficiency of the engine so the 430-460 gallon per hour range is possible. However, if you can afford 430-450 gallons per hour, you can afford 515 so it's not a big deal and if you can't afford 515, then you also cannot afford 430. It's more of an issue in the boat's range as a 600 gallon capacity could be 75 minutes of running or 85 minutes of running, a difference of about 25 miles at 150 mph--which could mean making it to the next island or needing a tow or more likely losing bragging rights when you reach the dock. The bigger assumption is that you could run flat out for an hour which is unlikely in most scenarios since that would need to be around 150 miles in a straight line with the right water conditions--and that your own body and brain could manage that much absolute attention and beating for 60 minutes. Even on smooth water (150 miles of it?) the attention required to pilot that boat a WOT in the neighborhood of 150 mph is very high.
I got to see a nor tech catamaran with 4 mercury 450Rs. That’s impressive by itself but this shit is beyond insane. I wonder what the fuel consumption is on a boat like that
What would happen if you really went wild for speed and put bigger turbos on all of them, on race fuel like a drag car, steve morris would have them making 3000hp each
Over three minute of a boat with quad 1350s and not a single shot of the engine well. I mean, it’s a beautiful boat, and obviously a beast, but.... It’s in the freaking title of the video.
@@BeyondPerformancePowerboats Kind of a little bit completely different. Seriously? I’ve been to dozens of poker runs. What do we see at the docks? Boats with their engine hatches up, mirrors under the deck lid, LEDs lighting the view. I’ve never met a single owner/driver that wouldn’t “lift the skirt” and show off the hardware
I am still a turbine fan over a piston engine due to reliability and maintenance let alone this is no way close to what twin turbines can put to the water!

😂 Entertaining comment!! 🤜🤛
Like they say.. if you are worried about the water bill don’t buy the pool.. this is wealth we cannot fathom.
@@bobrobertsn4506 Ain’t that the truth…
Living about 2 miles (as a crow flys) from NorTech I get to see some sick rigs coming out of there
EVERYTHING about this boat is a true thing of beauty! It touches every sense humans posess!
Maybe you and the boat should get a room..
@@Ben-xy3jn This thing would be in my bedroom
What an amazing sound those engines make, and boy does she fly..... incredible.
🤜🤛
Creatures of the night....
I just love the sound of these boats slowly cruising
They have nice rumble
There was a young bull and an old bull on a hill...
Love the video.. Especially the part when you can see daylight in the tunnel.. Great sound is always a plus...
🤜🤛
My head was nodding harder with approval as I read that video title.
It's a beautiful movie. A beautiful boat !!! Thank you!! Greetings from Italy🥇🥇🏆🏆❤️❤️
I m impressed that you made it through that shallow part coming out of Punta Rassa!
That Turtle, .... is amazing. Love it!
Man that thing is BEASTY! Love the turtle!
Wow what a rocket, lol and I thought the Nitro bass boat was fast 😂😂😂
Great looking boat, Love the turtle!
My dream,sleek streamlined muscle machine!
ye gods... this is literally my dream boat. Quad-powered NorTech...
Wow, there is nothing like the sound.....amazing
What a sound music to the ears
Where's Don Johnson and the theme from Miami Vice? I'd lose the green turtle and put the Road Runner on the side, that boat can haul ass.
THAT TURTLE IS AWESOME
Peeps either love it or hate it... no in between. 🤷♂️

Wow, quad 1350's. I take it the M8 drives are fitted with steering braces to keep everything turning smoothly.
All 4 tons of 'em

Very very nice.....👍👍
If you do the math, hes burning roughly a gallon every 7 seconds at full throttle. Take that green new deal!
It’s crazy such a big ass boat can go that fast to me. More so that people can afford to fuel them.
Civic owners dream boost. Sick boat maybe with the stimulus a few more people can afford one.
I like the turtle graphics on the side.
Crazy boats built and designed by Norwegians :)
that gave me the chills : )
If it was mine I would name it "Innocent Fishing Boat."
That moment when you realize you need a "Belt for your Underwear" so it doesn't fly off... cause your just flat-out haulin' ass!! (LOL)

5400 hp is something out of a virtual world, but you’d be surprised at how smooth cats can handle power. Waves are different story
That's all the proof I need. Wearing a LIFE VEST is cool!
This is one of those - If you have to ask how much gas it burns, you can't afford it. lol
Man, that's impressive.
Awesome boat. It would be even more awesome if we could see what's makes her tick... (I suspect 4 × Mercury 1350 V8)
Damn what a beast😲
A weekend's worth of fuel in this beast probably costs more than my whole boat.
You can take "probably" away... :-)
Woooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww the Style and wooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww the Sound Wooooooooooowwwwwwwww i want more
Sounds like my 12 Foot Kayak!!!!

How much for a ticket to the Bahamas ? Haha awesome video !
This is a real fast Bass Boat..
Very beautiful boat, can pass anything out on the water except a fuel ⛽️ pump.
Awesome. PLS show the engines.
Beautifull boat!
I’ll take all the horsepower’s , yes all of them .....
Over a million bucks in engines and 4 tons in weight
Now this is fast!
Sound of that boat gave me chubby!!
Need to study up on the USSR's *Caspian Sea Monster* if fuel burn is no object.
That is a SEXY machine 🤙👍
Our scarab has triple 1350’s but 4 wtf!
What would happen if you really went wild for speed and put bigger turbos on all of them, on race fuel like a drag car, steve morris would have them making 3000hp each
Flight ✈️
@@BeyondPerformancePowerboats 🤣😂 probably true
Cool boat but would rather see one of those engines in a 22ft Stoker Tunnel at full throttle. Not in a big heavy tank.
A "big heavy tank" has the advantage of not taking flight when it hits a ripple from a fish swimming nearby
race2race1 That “big heavy tank” will outrun your 22’ Stoker like it’s tied to a tree.
race2race1 Sure.
I don't understand why people buy million dolar sport cars when you can have one of these bad boys
I’ve seen double engine….. BUT QUAD!!!!!
Are they cheaper by the dozen? Do I get 13?
How in the world they fit 4 V8 engines in that boat we'll never know.
Video would have been way better if we got a shot of those engines!
Everyone wants to look up the skirt mate 😂 Some lads don’t want to show you their packages 📦
Staggered on each side.
Speed costs money, how fast can you afford to go?
How do you see what’s in front of you.
Is this now painted gold and called never enough or is that another nor tech
Nice vid .. nice craft, but all that hp, nothing was said about top speed! I would love to know the numbers 😎
Love it awesome
Yes please👍🏾
what's the use of going fast... NOWHERE!!!!
What a tub
one day
Fuel consumption: All of it.
What a brute.
This is the boat to get you laid!
Why the over compensation?
What determines which side the steering wheel is on?
The guy who’s stroking a seven figure check for the boat 💵
if you got the money, they'll put the steering wheel in the back seat if you want lol
Beyond Performance Powerboats Exactly!
It's not a boat, it's a fuel tank :)
When I get rich
Yes. There is always some one faster. Cubic dollars
3:03 Guys, do not park your boat in the way please. Thanks.
How much fuel does this thing burn at full throttle
Wow imagine what the gas bill is on that beautiful beast !!!!!
Capitalism is awesome!

148 😭
