Sorry Jet i got your pm last night but i was too tired and lazy to respond...im gonna say its safe to say the nordic will be full stringer...im guessing its a nordic scandia, bubble deck ....very nice boats...states right in this brochure they are full stringer....i know mine is!

I found the boat, and that is a really nice boat, and a smoking price to say the least....the only thing i wasnt too keen on is the fact that it has an olds in it, but that is my preference....if you choose to run the olds....please keep the rpms down otherwise you will be building another motor, and it wont take long either....i would snatch it up

I wouldn't hesitate to buy that thing, Olds or not.

And when that blue oval explodes you can get classy with a bowtie. Matt

You can say that again. Yes it is a full stringer boat. Pretty good handling boat too(well my 77 Nordic is). See signature.

 :banghead:yeah i went and saw it it was wore out the guy was kinda scetchy and was like ohh i just pulled the motor to replace the cupling to the u-joint and the main shaft i saw the shaft was shredded and all bolts were missing from the Berk to the transom and i was like no you keep it. i didnt get a good feeling from the guy. i was worried about what else i would need 2 do. but it was a full stringer but everything needed to be redone i dont have the time or the funds or room for all that. i will say this it would be bad ass to have it all redone
