First I want to say this has been one of the most taxing projects that I have done/doing. Everything I touch needs to be modified or "adjusted". I have been working on this and re-doing a house at the same time so when funds permit I put it into the boat. I am so close right now, but I have to modify the back seat to clear the blower. I even have the wife helping out pulling staples so I can cut the back wood and fiberglass, hope it fits without taking it to the upholstery guy $$. Anyway here are some pics. I have some tidying up to do such as secure all the braided lines, wires and hoses.
I hope to get it wet next week. I know it is late in the season, but the month of June was all rain all the time.
Well here are the pics so far.

Congrats on a very cool build, hope the water testing goes well :thumbup:
-
TJ as usual you just amaze me with your attention to detail, and your abilities to machine or weld, or fabricate whatever, and nothing mickey mouse :thumbup: :thumbup: Your Nordic is looking badass :thumbup: :thumbup:, makes my Nordic look like a, well never mind ;D Good luck with getting her wet, and be safe ;)
-
That is so clean it hurts. Congrats on one incredible vision fulfilled.
And thanks for being a camera whore O0 Keep 'em coming :thumbup:
-
That is by FAR the sweetest thing I've ever seen. And also seems functional and useable as a driver! Congratulations! You've set the bar pretty damn high on standards around here!
X2 on hoping the water tests go OK. No doubt they will, except for wanting bigger tanks so you don't have to cut your day short with it!

That motor is beautiful!
-
SSSCHWIIIING!!! holy shit that turned out nice, excellent work and very very clean looking, good luck with the testing.
-
I can't think of any words that describe how impressed I am with your abilities. You my friend are a stud!!! Looks killer.
On a side note, every time out I learn to love and HATE that pulley back there. It's made my boat a nobody is allowed to ride in the back boat cuz of the belt screaming in thier ear and the dangers if somebody was to get into it.
As it was, I was making a short jog with my son and didnt bother to snap my legstraps on my Lifeline and the stinking wind blew them back to where one was within a inch of getting caught in the belt. Thank God my son is sharp and jerked it away.
Didn't want to threadjack TJ but just want you to be careful and learn by my close calls so you don't have any.
Now get that wet!!!!!

Update. Got alot done with the seat today to clear the blower belt and the pulley. I mocked it up and have one inch of clearence. I need to do a little glassing and pull the vinyl back and staple it. Then in it goes.
Thanks to the old Man for the wood fab skills. Did I say I hate wood.
