In The Lead with Trond Schou and Nils Johnsen of Nor-Tech Hi-Performance Boats

[@LarsLindroth]

Another example of how it's a lot easier to stay young at heart if you got a passion for, and love, what you do. Great episode!

3 of the best guys I ever bought a boat from. Trond, Nils and Terry. I met Terry at Ft Laud show in 02 and I was looking at a Black Thunder but wanted to check out the 43 Nortech that was on display... He sold me on the quality and after one ride there were no questions. Terry then introduced me to Trond and then Nils. Nils first words to me were congrats..and we will build you the best F'ing boat in the world. Love these guys...straight forward, innovative and they just took great care of me. I ended up buying 2 other Nortechs through out the years. Im planning on retiring and looking at another.

I'm not a boat guy, but I had heard of Nor-Tech. I ran into Nils at a local Cars and Coffee this morning. What a genuinely cool guy that has a real passion for life.

I remember Trond from the early 80 and late 70 in Grimstad. He had a Wesling 16 with 140 Evenrude. He was our "hero" back then. His family had a summer house near Marivold, i kneet where it is. Very Nice place😀

I'm from Canada and just spent the last week in the area of Florida where these boats are built. My family and I went on a boat tour ( not a Nor tech lol) but while out there in the gulf and bay I kept seeing these unreal boats and our boat captain new all about them and gave me a great lesson. You guys build the most beautiful boats I ever saw and this is coming from a guy who had a Formula with a Arneson out drive and I thought formulas were the best. Unfortunately I will never make near enough money to purchase one of those 50' plus 😢.

Love my Nortech!! Thanks Terry

[@dieseldog00]

I think Terry is with STATEMENT now.

@Everett Cox director of marketing for deep impact and blackwater. He's also independent so his hand is in a few cookie jars.

[@steveflorida5849]

Now, I know what Nor represents in Nor-Tech. Founders Trond and Nils are both Norwegian. Success is building over 100 boats a year with 200 employees, congrats Nor-Tech.

Proud norwegian!

[@dieseldog00]

Longtime Nortech fan. Lady Lisa is my fav yacht. I love the four-engine cats too. I bet they're hella fast! Didn't a guy named Gary Montano own a 50 with an M&Ms candy paint scheme and twin turbines from Turbine Marine? Also Canada Thrust that paint scheme was GORGEOUS!! Does Rob still have that boat? I heard he sold it because of turbine problems. Well done Trond and Nils keep on keepin on guys!!

"Set the world on fire with the centre consol"? Ehm okei. That has been around for ages. Before 2007 when they startet with the centre consol.

[@David-bf9wv]

Hi performance center consoles, let's put it in terms you can understand. If you light a match you have a flame, which is what center consoles were. What these guys did with the hi performance and center console market in general, was take that match and put it in gasoline.
