The Nor-Tech would be my choice of the 2.....

I don't have any idea of the pricing on the Nor Tech, but it has a lot more to offer than this boat which it rightly should as it is twice the size, but it is nearly as fast as a boat half its size with not twice the power.

1 knot = 1.150 779 448 mile/hour

**glassdave** · 03-19-2009 01:17 PM

so 80mph would be 92.06235584kts

I can tell ya exactly what a hundred knots is thats for sure . . . . (see Pokerruns America vo.11 N0.10 2008 pg.44

)

Actually, a nautical mile is 6080 feet, (A knot is 1 nautical mile per hour), and a statute mile is 5280 feet. The ratio is 1.15151515, so 80 knots is really 92.12121212mph.

Ya, I'm a dork. So what!

**Rik** · 03-19-2009 05:17 PM

1 nautical mile = SI units
1.8520 km = 1,852.0 m
US customary / Imperial units
1.1508 mi = 6,076.1 ft

I have always used 1.1516 as a nautical mile. Off by a tenth. They have rounded the 1.1507999 to the 1.508 so this is as exact as I can get.

**cigdaze** · 03-19-2009 05:37 PM

Those are rounded conversions. By definition a nm is 6080 feet, not 6076.1.

if you run that through the Lorentz transform i believe it is just a bit shorter(x) . . . to the observer in the boat (x') at 80 that is

I'll go with the nor-tech also. Here is a picture of the nor-tech getting pulled over by the coast guard in Key west.

Now is that 350 km/h in knots nautical terms or land based, not knots or does the speed count when it is in the air

?

Always thought that was a real cool yacht. Supposedly the fastest in the world at that size.

Always wanted to see a vid of it in 8 to 10"s. Wonder how it does?

Might be the last one for the owner. He is a big NY car dealer and that business is in the toilet now. Boat was built for speed but with a 30mm asking price I don't think too many others will want to buy it since it is a maintenance nightmare. Turbines on a mega yacht might be cool to talk about at the yacht club but in reality the owners usually just meet the boat at the destination rather than being pinched for time to get there faster.

Boat probably sucks in anything over 4-5 footers. Keep in mind it is full of furnishings that will break/ bounce around while your trying to air it out!

That's why I want to see the vid.......

**DollaBill** · 03-20-2009 09:36 AM

It's ugly and I don't see 80 KTS. And, there is no cockpit space to party with the chicas you pick up in SoBe.
