Seeing that pic of that Nordic reminds me of ads I used to see in Poker Runs America and Powerboat Mag.
Nordic used to claim some pretty impressive speeds out of their 25' Rage and 28' Heat w/ stock Merc power in those ads. Can't remembe the actual numbers. I think they are sweet looking boats. Anyone remember these ads or have 1st hand knowledge of these claims?

That doesn't even look at all like the same boat. Great job, especially the fact that you did it yourself.

Wow! You did that paint yourself? Very impressive. The boat looks great. You should be proud.

i did do the paint work and the fabrication of the fairing.
the fairing was a blast to build and only took a total of 5 hours. thats what made the biggest change in the looks of the boat

many people say that it dont look like the same boat and if im remember correctly i think i have less that a $1000 in materials to give it a new look
