Kona Badge Aluminum Casting

« **Reply #25 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:11:33 PM »

I found a guy, just working on pricing...They program the jet with CAD files that I prepare.

« **Reply #26 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:23:45 PM »

Thats great, that you can do the file for them and send him the disc. All you've got is the cutting time. Can he cut it with a bevel to it or just straight cuts.

« **Reply #27 on:** February 03, 2009, 06:44:56 PM »

I had actually just sent the file to him to get some pricing, and he cut it and sent me the pic. I sent him a pic of the one you gave me to see how more detail might be added.

« **Reply #28 on:** February 04, 2009, 07:33:39 PM »

They can cut the bevel edge, but to add any more detail would be expensive. Stainless is next. Anyone have any interest in having an emblem made?

poverty, so how much are these going to run? i know your guy will probably be cheaper the more that he makes. what is a round about price for a nice pair?? definitely still interested

i need two tahiti badges...and i remember back in my early days in here there were a couple guys looking for nordic badges like mine...i am willing to donate my badges for the cause...just my originals should be returned to me...

Ya Nordie, I was one of the guys looking

« **Reply #32 on:** February 09, 2009, 01:52:20 PM »

so is this guy in HB?

« **Reply #33 on:** February 09, 2009, 02:30:20 PM »

If you send me your Nordic (or any other) badge, I will take good care of it and return it after I do the CAD drawing. I would send you a pic of the badge before you buy it...sound fair?
The price for the 1/8" aluminum Kona badge is $35.00 + shipping. I am still waiting for the stainless price. Price is based on the complexity of the cut, and I will let you know if there are any changes. Keep in mind, that these badges are not going to be exact duplicates. I have Tahiti badges to copy. Maybe I could trade you my CAD time for something I need for the boat.

hey poverty, i just accquired a 71 -73??? not too sure, 18ft Kona and there are no badges on it, so if you get a run made I would totally be into a set- For any other kona owners- my new project has no serial stamp on the back but it does have a badge pop riveted in by forward reverse lever that says JRS Fiberglass unlimited. Is that the Kona deal- If I am not mistaken Jerry Baker owned and started Kona with a partner??? which could be the "R" in JRS- any thoughts?

the nordic badges arent for me i just wanna donate to the cause it is truly at the discression of the guys needing the nordic badges...as far as the tahiti badges go im interested once i get the boat back to how i got it "running"

« **Reply #36 on:** February 09, 2009, 06:53:24 PM »

I can draw anything on CAD. This deal is a pay as we go thing. When you are ready to go for the Nordic (or any other brand), send the badge, I will do the CAD stuff, and we go from there...if you want a Kona badge, send me the dough and I will get them cut. If you feel compelled to compensate me for my CAD time, I need a remote OF adapter for my 455 and a long list of other necessities.

Mine is a 1971 and it has JRS stamped into the tag by the foward reverse lever. It also says fiberglass unlimited on the badge.

The badge you see in this post is the Kona badge you would get..It does not have the Fiberglass Unlimited, Westminister Calif. My '73 only has prismatic decals...

Price should be about the same, $35.00 each

$35.00 each is for aluminum, still waiting on the stainless price

« **Reply #46 on:** February 17, 2009, 09:40:06 PM »

Thanks Bud will do, am looking forward to the metal badges, not the stickers I have now, not that they look bad, but I want something that looks original, somewhat
