ya sorry about the goofy posting, had a little trouble. more just showing it off. not looking to sell it just yet, but everything is for sale for the right price. my grandfather was the origainal owner of the boat. he was the mechanic for my uncle who was world champ. 2 years in the 80's for NJBA/IHBA Unblown Gas Jet. as a thanks to my grandfather for the help, my uncle had Tom Papp build the 700 H.P. motor and blueprint the pump. the boat was handerd down to myself 2 years ago, as is. only 243 original hours on it. it had been sitting for about 10 years. so alot of sweat, blood, and tears went into it to make it shine like new again. when i sell it, th emotor stays with me, for the next boat. i cant afford another motor anywhere near what i have. haha. i have gone with the Restomod look, with all the "new" modern style parts in it. she bumps with a 1500w stereo system.

That thing is SEXY....Im starting to see more Nordic names on here ;D

thanks. it took alot to get it there. i think Nordic makes a great looking, performing and all around bad ass boat. and you dont see too many older ones like ours. are you taking yours to the Nordic Regatta this year? we went to the last one and almost sunk her, so i am looking forward to having more fun this time. since they got new owners, hey really do a good job to take care of Nordic owners, even if i is an older boat. it would be cool to get all of us Nordic "bottom feeders" to the regatta and have a good presence

When is the regatta? For me have been wanting to check one out but figured all those HIGH dollar boats would sink my sled, bein freeboard challenged and all ;D

it is June 20-22. even if you dont do the poker run, wich we didnt last time, its still fun to go hang out on the beach in the morning and talk to every one, and then to do the group photos. we didnt do the running shots with the helicopter either, because we thought it would be too rough, but i am going to do it this year. then saturday night, the awards and raffle banquet dinner is fun as well. hope to see you out their. we older "original hotrods" have to stick together

not to jack the thread or anything, but the wife and i took our boat to the eliminator regatta 2yrs ago with the same attitutude and had a blast, we did not do the running shots as well, but just to hang out with everyone and socialize was well worth it. we will go again now that forkedup is back together, sorry just my .02 you should go
