Title: 70's Vintage Nordic Jet Boats
Post by: SkyHarborCowboy on November 25, 2008, 06:49:20 AM: What is everyone's opinions of them? I found what seems to be a decent boat in So Cal through a friend but I have no clue about their reputation for quality and whether or not there are any issues with them that I should be aware of. Any insight would be appreciated. This one happens to be 460 powered with a Berkley Jet. Is there anything in particular on the engine and/or Berkley I should have a closer look at as well?

Thanks!

The smaller boats will have huge amounts of hook and rocker (lumpy bottom) from sitting on trailers for so long . Not good and not safe . First thing I look at anymore.
