The boaters that come in from Nor Cal, Oregon, even Washington, during the summer. Always seem to be surprised at the temps when they arrive at iur Needles location or our Mohave Valley location. “We checked the weather app for here and it said 110 to 112. This is Krazy”…….Just so you all know. The news stations, weather apps. Their all lying to you. It is always between 8 & 10 degrees hotter then the high they say it will be. Originally my app said 112. Here is the current temp. Nuff said

4/30 is 430ci day!

The Ford "430" engine, also known as the MEL (Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln) engine, was used in Top Fuel racing, but the motor used by Top Fuel racers was actually a 430 Lincoln, not a Ford. In 1959, a Texas-based team won the NHRA Nationals Top Eliminator title using a 430 Ford/Lincoln engine and a GMC supercharger, which was the first time a supercharged Top Eliminator entry won in NHRA history.

The 430 engine had a limited but notable history in hot-rodding. For example, Bertram Yachts won the first Miami to Nassau race with a boat powered by twin 430 MEL engines. In the 1959 NASCAR season, Holman Moody used 430s to power some of their Thunderbirds, including one that came in second place at the 1959 Daytona 500.

The 430 engine was introduced in 1957 as a base 375 horsepower model with an optional 400 horsepower 3x2 carb setup. It had a 10.75-1 compression ratio and a 4.3 bore x 3.7 stroke. The 430 engine was used in the following vehicles from 1958 to 1965: Lincoln, 1958-60 Mercury, and 1959-60 Ford Thunderbird.

Good morning….
I’m not sure people know that we do fiberglass repair / gel repair here @ the Needles facility. Mike Weston, who has 25+yrs in the marine industry. Building boats, repairing boats, and working for, Nordic for 15+yrs. Has been with us for over 3yrs. He does beautiful work and unlike so many shops. He has a conscience.
We were asked to fix some cracks on the transom of a, Stoker outboard. A lot of, Stokers have this issue. And the fix is not a easy one. Here are some pictures of what transpired…
The WELL had to be cut out to get to all the wood on the transom as it was rotted, and the glass was delaminating on the stringers along with the knees / supports. Cousa board was used to replace the wood. Super stout with no fear of ever rotting. The whole transom and knees / supports were made from this product. Expensive but worth it. Mike then designed the knees to go up inside the cross brace that goes side to side. The knees were then glassed to the stringers, to the floor, and then the transom. Way stronger then original. Mike then designed a new flat well. Way nicer looking with no weakness. The transom was then capped and re gel coated and rubbed out.
If anyone needs repair work done just give the office a call. 928-577-8780. Will be happy to assist you in making your ride something to me proud of……Billy B
