85 gps any day all day. I think that is a fair number, some days if your light and the water is perfect you could see a couple more. How often do you really strech it out though, not that much really. At least I don't. I haven't had in the salt yet but I am looking forward to the Emerald Coast run in Destin mid Aug. I love my boat, I'm waiting to see what the new layup w/ 525's is going to do. Then I may entertain a new one.

I wish you would buy one, you have been sniffing around here for over a year. You need to take a good look at the 04 in the classifieds. for 99k. I seriously thought about sending a surveyor out for a look. I know its been sitting in the water but I dont know how long. I spoke to the guy he said everything was in good working order. Just need to scope out the bottom and the drives. Put a new Myco under it for 12K and you're rolling! o4's are going for at least 150K. If he was closer I would go see it, but a plane fare is cheap for that kind of savings. The right deal will come along.

1:47am...dude you need to get some sleep. Must be boring over on the Fountain side:cool-smiley-011:

Nope. Has nothing to do with Fountain. I was up late working because I have a little more than one career and find it easy to do my hobbie stuff late without interuptions. Not every day of course but I did realize that by posting "after hours" it left me open for people who just like to up their post count. But hey I'll entertain some humor - -

Since you brought the beak into it... What has Nordic EVER done with regards to setting records, winning races, or something I might like to watch or read about?

Now, while you're thinkin' up something else to hit me with, I'll be launching my boat for the day as I have every weekend since before Halloween!! Have a good one dude.
:cool-smiley-011:

Does the 27 fountain run 90 with a single 525 because my Nordic Thor does :D:D:D:

You got me on that one! I dig San Diego. Watch out for those nuclear submarines and PT boats. Where do you live La Jolla, Old Town, around Mission Beach or what? Have fun!

Actually live in Vista about 40 minutes north of Downtown SD. We usually hang around San Diego Bay & Point Loma. Hit us up when you're coming back for a visit!! I make a decent tour guide/taxi.

Take care,
Jason

Well, gotta say that if you really are running that fast on a single then I'm impressed. My boat will not ever see 90 as long as I'm paying. I do like the Nordic my buddy just bought. It's been sunk twice but is going to fix up pretty nice. Can't wait to play with it in the next couple weeks.

Side note: Let me know if you guys make it to Desert Storm this year. Lookin' to make some new friends!

See ya,
Jason

Jason,
I have a 2000 35 Flame with 502 MPIs, (Stock) and she runs ~ 78-80 depending on the water conditions. I plan putting in bigger power hopefully this year, ~ 580-600Hp. We LOVE our Nordic!:D

Question, How did your friend's Nordic sink twice? Was it in saltwater?

BTW, I'll be in SD May-June 08, working @ Miramar, if your friend has any questions, let me know.

I was told that the boat was anchored somewhere on a freshwater lake in Oregon. A storm came up and sunk it on anchor. Then, it went into a shop where they replaced both engines. Apparently, the mechanic(s) spun the boat out and caused it to flip over and it sunk again. At this point it's just rumor from me.. It's pretty beat but has a lot of potential if he does it right.

Send me a message when you get in.
