This is my 72 Nordic V-drive. I have a 64 401 Buick nailhead and a Casale 15% overdriven gearbox in it. I still need to do a interior job on it someday as all it has is two barstools from the local VFW club. Ken...

hot rod sea king
Heres a couple of photos of Mojo,it was used in the last Miami Vice movie.It comes complete with Tommy guns and many other options,I sure would like to go for a ride in this baby,that is if I was behind the wheel.
I heard that the guy who owns it bought it a Barret Jackson and that it came with a H2 Hummer.

Is that a Nordic?
With everyone down there owning cats, I figured you would have the same....?
Hottest boat I've ever rigged was a 44 foot Outer Limits GTX (sit down... low deck) with a pair of EFi 1200 Hp Sterlings and dry sump sixes.... digging for that pic right now... she was good for 118mph at Lake Tahoe (elev 6200 ft) 2 yrs ago... That sukker burned way too much race gas...
That was pretty good till we got passed quickly by a Turbine powered Skater that had a spotter chopper overhead... that boat was moving... My client sold his boat 2 weeks later...
Those toys make our sport look like welfare.
Now I work on restoring antique Mahogany boats... specializing in Italian Riva boats for show/use. Those are pretty hot when you put in a pair of pumped up 502's... but nothing like the poker run boats.... "nervous" above 70mph.
Here is one of them...
Before the work was done.
"After" shot
On the water
This is what happens when a drunken driver hits you broadside at 30 knots with a 26 foot Cobalt... That was a crazy day on the water...I was standing in the engine bay when we got hit... nobody was killed, a miracle IMO.

How did you get into restoring boats? Extreme pipe dream for me is a full on self restoration of an old wooden Chris Craft....doubt it will ever happen but a guy can dream.

Nope.
That is my boat.
I built 100% of it.
Photos were taken from a helicopter I hired for the photo shoot that day.
I am the guy in the driver's seat in each photo.

Nice boat,wow that thing has gotta friggin fly...eeeeks
Been doing it since I was a kid... got into Yacht refits to put me thru University and then that took over for a while... getting back into the Classics still gave me the ability to work at a high level of my abilities... my customers have deep pockets... those boats cost typically $250k for a "full pull" resto.
If you have good shop and a couple of years of free time, you can pull off a good resto on a chris craft... upside down as far as money goes...but lots of pride in work. The best way is to buy one that is already done, from a strictly $$ point of view.
Not my boat... A clients... Those boats cost more than any house that I could afford.
He was pissed, but what can you do?
IMO, the best boat.... The one that belongs to someone else.
Christopher... nice job on the boat.
2xm3... that sukker must fly... the ski loop must be for a brave person!!
