Try this site,I found out a little about my 19ft pickle boat there. Mine was built in Orlando, Florida from a guy who bought the molds from the company that now makes the Yamaha boats. He made them for two years and went out of business.
Would like to see some pics of yours if you have any. They might be related.

The Sterling was a Nordic tunnel, That found it's way to Fla. The Nordic was a copy of the Eliminator with some small changes to the bottom and the deck. The bottom has a slight concave design that never really caught on. Jets were built from the mold but never really made a go of it. Greg

Thanks Greg,I know I have been looking at pictures of Nordic Tunnels, and can't tell them apart, they look that much alike..
My Sterling was made for an Outboard, not an Inboard. I don't see an concave in the bottom..
Thanks for the Info..
