Default Need info on older Nordic power boat

Does anyone recognize what model boat this is?
I realize the boat is old, but if I get a reputable mechanic to
inspect the mercury outboard, and it is servicable, what other issues
to I need to beware of? *The hull looks like its in great shape, and
the seats show some weathering. * The motor was winterized and kept in
storage over the winter and supposedly has 10 hours on it since the
last overhaul.


I have been able to find out from the manufacturer that its is a
Nordic Bubble Deck.
They even were able to offer that if I needed parts they would be able
to find items that would work with the boat.
Understand, this is a company that was sold to a new owner and many of
the old records were no longer available.
Randy Arrowsmith in the Creative Department at www.nordicboatsusa.com
really went the extra mile for me.
Having never done business with the company before this, I was really
impressed and encouraged by them.
I was worried I might end up with something that I'd not be able to
repair, much less restore.

With that gem of info, I was able to find "Scream and Fly Powerboat
and Hight Performance Powerboating Discussion Forums" online.
The majority of Nordic boats were jetboats, but some were outboard
units and the ones I read about were rated up to 200HP outboards.
Since I am not particularly looking to build a super drag boat, but
rather one to have fun zipping around the lake on, and pull skis or
tubes, I'm sure the old 150HP mercury will be plenty for the task.
Now to scrape up the cash!
