When I was a kid, we had a '79 19' Nordic jet boat. Very similar looking to most of these... It had a black hull, black interior, chromed up 455 with tunnel ram. Boy it was fast and loud. Its currently a planter with blue berry bushes in it. Hull developed cracks around the stringers, and the stringer rotted and just could not repair the hull enough to keep it from cracking over and over. Even after the stringer replacements and fiberglass repairs. You really need to operate these on water that looks like glass, or the boat just gets beat up. It would yank anyone out of the water, when we went water skiing...
