Welcome and feel free to ask away.

Nordic makes a good hull and it sounds like you have a good combination there (were being over run with Ford guys lately)  ;D

I had that exact same Nordic for 5 years--20'/BBC/Dominator--and really loves it because it had room for the family and "stuff", yet performed like a smaller, lighter jet boat. I traded it to boost last summer, and traded it again a couple of months ago. There is another one in Las Vegas. Here ia a thread with a few pics of my Nordic. http://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php?topic=4116.0
I'm sure you'll have fun with yours.

               Hey saw your pics of the old boat and you had the rear bench setup and engine cover that im looking for!! what do you think is it difficult to do the woodwork myself then take it in for upholstery? or just have it done? kinda working on a budget here.
