Nordic 31 True Tunnel!

Love it...

I see Nordic posted a side picture of the 48 V poker run on their facebook page. You got pics of it RD?

 

Very cool Dave. Nordic really is leading the pack.

 

Nordic has been hitting on all cylinders for a long time now

 

So are the wings hanging off the back of the stern measured in the 31’ overall length?

 

With the 35 dead in the water bow up attitude which bugs me I wonder how this 31 will look 400,s or 450,s hanging on it , cant compare apples to apples pod no pod the DCB,s , Eliminator seem to have a better attitude or look sitting , When I had my 28ss built I asked Thane if they were going to build a 30 or 32 I would be interested . Any idea on the beam of this one ?

 

They not building 35's anymore?

 

Oh yes .

 

yes they are building them still or yes they are not building them still?

 

Clear as mud on several fronts here.

 

I think he is saying boat sitting still in water it appears very bow high

 

Nordic will build as many 35's as you would like, he was referring to the way it sits in the water when its at rest. The 35 is very much alive and the absolute best cat I've ever driven hands down. Can't wait to drive the 31!!!!!!

 

Keep the info coming .

 

Beam at 9'6" is a wide load is it not? 8'6" is legal limit to my knowledge.

 

That is a very deep tunnel on a 31...no issues rolling through some big water with this hull. Same tunnel dimensions as the 35? Looks like they just lopped off a bit from the 35.

 

Certainly looks like the older 40' Skater was cut down to a 35' Nordic and now it's a 31' Nordic. The tunnel dimensions look very similar. I know several manufacturers have "borrowed" ideas from other manufacturers. It will be interesting to see how this boat runs & rides.
Congrats to Nordic for pushing the performance boat industry & building new boats.

 

just so everyone knows technically anything over 8.6 wide is oversize but most cops will not bother you at that size

 

I'm no expert & I truly don't care to take measurements. I rode in the 35 Nordic for the entire 120+ miles of the Big Cat poker run in August. It's a wave crushing beast. It rides & turns exactly like a Skater. I have absolutely no idea if anything on the Nordic is the same as a Skater & truly don't care. I appreciate that Nordic is building some badass boats. I also appreciate that I am entitled to MY opinion. I'm not on anyone's payroll nor do I have to answer to sponsors. I'm not retracting anything.

 

May want to read Dave's post over again with a smile on your face which is probably the way Dave intended it to be

 

I agree Rob, I love my 35 smasher. I’m sure this thing is going to be spectacular ! Should be a lot of fun.

And I’m not on anyone’s payroll either. Just enjoying boats and boating.

 

In Arizona you can get an Annual watercraft wide load permit. Its pretty cheap... Must display wide load banner and no CDL is required.

Of course if you have a 20 year old 1 ton, you are exempt from load ratings and width restrictions...

 

Just my opinion the 35 looks very similar to the old school 40 Skater. My opinion doesn't mean anything. I was very thankful to ride on the wave crushing 35 Nordic for the Big Cat, it was a blast.

 

Early version Skater narrow deep tunnel wide pods or sponson vs later wide tunnel [or wide body] narrow pod or sponson .

 

could very well be .

 

Not the greatest pic but this is a 2000 model year 40' Skater.
I believe there was a time when Nordic was using the Skater bottom for their 43' cat also but I certainly could be wrong.

 

Absolutely no reason to check for me. Wasn't calling anyone out nor bashing on Nordic. I love that Nordic is building new models, that's great for all performance boaters. Wish I could afford the big cat cruiser now with twin outboards.

 

Man this boat is going to be Slick!!! Can’t wait to see the rest of the pictures for this build! I heard the 31 feet does not include the wings off the back, I could be mistaken though?

 

It will also be interesting to see what it weighs.

 

When’s the first one coming out and where are they pricing it? @Bgsandfan , is this why you’re selling the dune car?

 

I love the profile of this boat! I'm excited to see it completed. It is really cool that Nordic is building these new models!

 

Any more pics of this boat RD?

 

Let’s see them

 

Boat show reveal?

 

I saw it in the water on the first day in....looked really nice and I guess it ran very good as well. I’ll let Nordic reveal the water pictures and numbers.

It’s not my boat so I’ll stay a spectator.

 

Fixed it for yuh.

Should be a fantastic boat. I'd absofrickunlutely LOVE to put my 308 Skater beside this 31 Nordic and see how different they are. I'd also LOVE to run my old 2008 308 Skater side by side with this 31 Nordic just to see the difference. I'm sure my boat with 300XS will be much slower on the top end but will kill a 31 Nordic with 400R's up to 90+ mph or more.

 

I have seen the pictures of the 31 on the water.... b e a u t i f u l ....

The owner is a friend of mine. Looking forward to a ride !

 

It looks absolutely FANTASTIC!! I'm very jealous of all the room in the cockpit & the rear seating area behind where the hatch would be is brilliant. Congrats to Nordic & your friend. Curious why 400s instead of 450s?
