Nice boat

[@NordicYachtWorks]

Thanks for the comments. This boat really was sweet. As far as I know, the gauge set up was original, so your boat must be from a different year. This boat was a 1989 and the video was made for a customer, who bought the boat for exports.Everything was super low hour original except for the motors, which were low hour upgraded 496 H.O.'s.

Beautiful boat

[@unisuit]

Are those the Stubby 1988 Bravo one's? remember hearing rumors of blow out speed being 65 mph.

[@josephsearcy8930]

Stunning

Dream boat

[@NordicYachtWorks]

We exported the boat to Northern Europe. Too many boats to remember for sure, but I think we got this from Maryland.

[@davecorcoran3874]

That boat spent it's entire life in that building in Northeast Md,Anchor Marine where it was originally sold and kept.I believe it sold for 25grand a steel with new 496 hos and new bravo drives.Never left in water,wife forbid me from buying it.

Cool boat. I got a 233 eclipse

[@NordicYachtWorks]

2 x stock 496 HO's with 425 hp each. The boat had a built in silencer system using the swim platform.

Thanks

[@danwentworth5389]

Where is this boat located? I have an almost identical (1989, same colors, gauges) sans the 496's.

[@jeyssonramos3492]

Sweet vid. I'm building some 500+hp 454 so this gave me a reference as to what speed I should see in my Scarab III. How did you do your gauges? Mine are currently the stock vdo gauges that aren't flush underneath like yours.

Nice

[@phil100363]

Does anyone know what props there using looks like 4 blade but what pitch ?

[@NordicYachtWorks]

26 pitch Bravo I props. I found an old picture from the time when the video was made.

[@Livingwiththeparanormal]

Why was it so quiet for 1000 horsepower

[@davidfrees619]

out of Anchor Marina I see

[@joerad4722]

Yeah, I knew the owner of this boat and had been on it a lot when I was a kid. So he did finally sell it... it was a fun boat to be on. Amazingly, when I was young I tubed off this thing :D Hearing them amazed everything worked is amusing since he took care of that boat and worked on it a bunch. The awning you see there was an addon so we could sit and float and not get burned to a crisp but still be outside. However, I do remember when we had to drop in the engine compartment that was NOT fun to be in. I cannot believe I found this on youtube while looking for something similar!

[@mitch6968]

Was this boat for sale? Any idea what it sold for?

[@NordicYachtWorks]

Yes, it was for sale and we exported it long time ago. I don't remember the price, too many years and boats ago, sorry.
