    Thumbs up 27 Thor Video!!

    I just watched it right now... BEST VIDEO YET!!

    That boat is SSIIICCKKK!! Is Nordic rigging all of them with Rail kits etc now? Or was that one a one off?

    Great Video, Great commentary, both good and Negative.

    Great, honest evaluation. It's really nice to see a comprehensive evaluation where they don't pull punches, good or bad. Should be a really nice tool for perspective boat buyers.

    Can't wait until they evaluate the Trident. I want to see how they honestly react to all the new innovations.

    PB should film the Trident party as the opening to the review.

    Great review. All that cf and composite is just sick.

    The boats rigging looked great.

    I liked the carbon fiber/kevlar idea but the gel design and color isn't my favorite.

    Freaking price tag was up there!!!

    I think my biggest turn off would be the size of the cockpit area. Not alot of room from the dash to the rear seats.

    You know I'm a fan. Awesome boat!!!

    The one thing that jumped out at me was the breaker panel adjacent to the throttle and down stream from two cup holders. I hope that thing is soda/beer/water proof.

    Oh, and can I get a 100K off and buy it for 67K

    Great video. I thought the boat was supposed to do 93? They only got 87 out of it. I know of a 28 deck boat that will wax that, huh Wes Everybody says the Trident is overpriced, check out the price on the Thor. I think the evaluators did a nice job sugar coating how this boat didn't handle the rough stuff very well. I really like these videos, you can see how the boat actually does, rather than just reading about it. Great Job PB.

    Good video, with as light as this boat was told to be I would have expected it to have been faster too with the 525. That wind and chop should have been swallowed up... It sounds like the new building materials have allowed for more feeling of the water, bumps, ect, thats good if thats what you are looking for, I too would love to hear more about this boat with some real big power (say 1000TCM).

    Yeah if I remember correctly OCM said it would run 90+ all day long with a standard layup. This boat was not only not standard layup, it also had a 2" shorter lower and a worked 32 bravo(did not plane well) and it did not even run 90mph This also being in cooler temps than summer. I guess I was right on HB . Maybe OCM will come on here and clarify it. This boat was definitely not your standard boat with a 525. Again, it is a very nice boat and I am not a hater. I like the boat.

    That was an excellent video! Im not sure how many purchases they are going to get with that price tag and current market. The inerior is a little small for me, but on the other hand I like that the norrow interior wouldnt have as much roll as we get on some of the wider laid out boats.

    I think that is a fine critique. My boat (Ultra 247) is a driver's boat as well and needs a lot of input at high speeds. Nothing wrong with that.

    Wow Performance Boats nicely produce video. Randy Davis the new owner of Nordic has to be happy with that video. And it's good to see Randy's dream of improving the quality of Nordic Boats is coming true... That Boat looks great! I can't wait to see Nordic's 42-ft cat on the water.
