Nor-Tech Hi-Performance Boats has announced it is a major sponsor of the 2022 Roar Offshore Powerboat Races. The world class sanctioned powerboat event and largest competitive race on water is coming to Fort Myers Beach Oct. 6-8. Roar Offshore represents the Offshore Powerboat Associations National Championship with one of the largest power boat racing prize purses in the country.
Funds raised at the event will help provide local scholarships and support breast cancer awareness, all while bringing millions in revenue to the local economy.
“Nor-Tech is passionate about the boating industry and is always looking for ways to make a difference in the community. What better way than a free, family-friendly world-famous boat race in our own backyard!” said Trond Schou, co-founder & CEO of Nor-Tech Boats. “Tim and Cyndee Hill do a phenomenal job of putting this event together each year and we are grateful for the partnership we have with them and for the opportunity to raise money for local charities. It’s also a great way to network help further the marine industry while boosting the local economy. We get to expand our reach while exposing Southwest Florida and all it has to offer to the people from around the globe.”
The three-day event typically sees 60,000 to 70,000 spectators on land and water, and in 2021, had a direct economic impact of $19.7 million.
Nor-Tech, an innovative custom boat manufacturing and design since 1991, will supply the pace boat for the race, a 39-foot 390 Sport with quad 450R 1800 Horsepower Mercury Racing engines. It will also have a boat in the parade which kicks off the weekend of events on Thursday, Oct. 6, followed by the Roar Offshore Street Party.

Nor-Tech is expanding its operations with a new 30,000-square-foot production facility to open in 2023 down the street from its headquarters in Cape Coral. Nor-Tech has additional production sites located in North Fort Myers and St. Augustine. For more information about Nor-Tech, please visit nor-techboats.com.
