That Nordic was mine. First boat I restored. Dick vale paint, hopped up mondello 455. it was a fun boat thing turns on a dime. Sold that thing to Ronnie back in 96 and I think it sat more then he used it. I saw it at the river once. Anyways good luck with that, And I agree it needs a major detail.I have ton of pics of that boat around here somewhere.

[QuickCheetah]

[QuickCheetah]

thanks Beerjet...just sent you those pics to your yahoo email...thinking about going get a key made, and putting gas in it to get it fired up...the tanks are brand new and have never had gas in them before..to see if there is anything i need to do with the motor...

How the hell did you get it so cheap? That paint job cost me some serious $$ back in 94. I did the white gell and then sent it over to vale. The engine ran flawless and even put a few T-ram BBC on the trailer back in the day. It had fiberglass tanks in it and they were eating themselves up so when I sold it told Ron to get new tanks and it would be a turn key boat.When I sold it, the boat had maybe 50 hrs on it and mostly used it at Havazoo before the crowdes started showing up.I did the engine with the guidence of phill stock and Mondello.The pump was nothing special and probably needs to be gone through, but if you look at the intake you can see alittle work. It was ramped and had a few bottom mods done to it that we did when it was upside down. Not sure on the condition of it now by looking at that awesome trailer its sitting on, but all in all it looks to be the same way it was when I sold it. that thing went about 75 when I had it and it frees up really well when the diverter is up and tends to do a pump dance and if you don't know what that is, well you will the first time you put the hammer down with the P/D in the "up" position.Just let me know what more you want to know. I found all the resto pics lastnight but I don't have a scanner to post them.

Nucking, thanks for the info..they were selling it for 1000 obo...the trailer tire blew out on me coming home from long beach picking it up..good thing i was by pep boys...they just wanted to get rid of he, Ronnie also wants to get rid of his chopper...i also think they are putting in a pool and didnt have time for the boat anymore...id love to see some of those pics...my national guard unit is out that way..this month when i have drill maybe i can stop by and see those pics..Mario

[Nucking futs]

No problem, just hit me up when your over this way.also turn that scoop around. On that engine it gave it 500 more rpm when its backwards. :)

[Dan Lorenze]

Nice boat, Excellent price.....

[QuickCheetah]

Thanks Dan...the price is the reason i drove from temecula to long beach to pick it up..lol

[QuickCheetah]

Just cleaned the seats using the Magic Eraser...thanks Tim(Nucking) for that info...now i can either take a brillo to the valve covers or go buy more...

[455Rocket]

I have the same boat but 72'. It's heavy as hell, but rides like a dream... a very solid boat. I can't believe it saw 75 though, I get mid 60's with fresh 455 w/ all the mods, 9-vane aggressor bowl, droop and diverter.
You stole the thing...
Where'd you hear about it?

[Nucking futs]

I can't believe it saw 75 though, I get mid 60's with fresh 455 w/ all the mods, 9-vane aggressor bowl, droop and diverter.
But with the hook yours has in it might slow you down. The bottom was blue printed on that one. I know there will always be The doubters,but it ran 75.

[QuickCheetah]

I feel like kid in a toy store...went bought an ignition switch from auto zone..it doesnt work right but the boat sounds great...didnt skip a beat...i have to get the timing dead on but other than that and the right kind of ignition switch...it will be a killer on the water...Nucking you restored a great boat...once i figure out how to get a video with my cell ill do that and see if i can get it posted on here...
