Oilfield,
I am almost done re-doing my 77 Nordic. It got it from up-State NY. From a guy named Ted (an East Coast Jet Boat Guru). Anyway, I am keeping the original gel coat (not too bad shape). I rebuilt the berk pump with a dominator impeller. It did not have a motor in it and was set up for a Ford. I changed over to BBC. I had the seat assembly re-done. Wow what a $$$ shocker that was for the seats. I am now ready to rig it and get it ready for late spring this year. Right now it is way too cold to work on it. -1 F this morning. Go to my page and click on Jet Boat tech and you can see it.

are these boats far and few in between or what? the two that are on this thread are very nice, mine is a work in progress i dropped the interior off this morning to be redone and i am hoping to paint it soon. i do have a question though i noticed today when i pulled th interior that it looks like the engine has dropped about a 1/4in. like the bolts that go threw the stringers have wollerd out. is there a repair procedure for this? what can i do?

Not a bubble deck. But it is a nordic. From what ive seen the quality is great for a light weight hull. Its got a 468 chevy and berk pump. Picking it up in a week or two, Can't wait...neither can my gf so i will shutup about it already.

Whats light weight? That boat is heavier then you think. You wanna see light weight come with us to the Drags in March.

My '75 Bubbledeck when we first got it running.
It is now upside down getting the bottom done after repairing some intake opening cracks. The its on to paint.:D
Glad to see so many other Nordics, we do seem to be kinda scarce.:confused:
