I may have access to a 20.5 tahiti mold. Is that big enough? Budlight

Would be much more cost effective to change boats. I believe this would be what you are looking for. It appears Hardin had a mold or two. I think Nordic may have the mold - or very similar to. Looks like their 26' Viking from the late '80s.

Bot trying to pee on your parade, but if you are going to put a jet in a 26' boat, I hope you like doing 35-40mph.....On a good day.

Wow. I didn't even notice that this was the Just Jets area. Surely he wasn't planning on a 26' jet, right? Maybe he just wants to swap the motor over? Hopefully? The one I posted the thread to states "NO MOTOR", but has a "H.D. outdrive", probably TRS.

Hardin was Tahiti, so yeah, they had a mold or 2. :)

Ax,
I don't know who tooled that up but I do remember that we bought 3 bare hulls at Hawaiian (from Hardin I'm guessing? Can't remember all the details. lol) that looked just like yours and sold them as such. Never saw them again, but I did ride in the first one rigged, up the LA river. This was about 1977 give or take. :)
