Has anyone seen picstures of the new 29

I just got the new powerboat magazine and in the nordic ad they say that they are releasing a new 29 v bottom boat. I was thinking of buying a thor but now I want to wait and see what this boat will look like.

I'll be at the LA boat show and get some pictures. I'll get some pricing for you also.

Wife and I are planning trip to Nordic Land in April to nose around. Love our Heat but (I) want more power than 496 and would like no wood, snap in carpet along with custom colors etc. Just read post about 29? Any one know anything at all about it?
What MPH should a 525 Heat run vs 700?
I agree 32 or 30 would have made sense though?

The heat should run around the 71/72 GPS with the 525

Too slow.......ask RAYTART 80+ with a 525/ITS

The 710 ILMOR runs around 90-91

Depends on where you boat. On Lake Cumberland for instance, during the summer the 525 runs low 70's, mid 70's at best. That is Bent's point of referrence. Proved that at the Nordic regatta last summer.

Just like Bob was saying ....I ran even with a heat with the 525 with my 496 HO Raylar at Cumberland Last June

82 to be exact.

Sooooo, somewhere between 71 and 82?? Perhaps 10 more with the 700? Octane required for the 525 or 700 vs 496?
Looking forward to see what this new 29 is all about! Unable to make LA this month. Sounds like the 525 would be adequate for either. Just want to run solid 70's. We run Ohio River from Wheeling to Parkersburg.
Thanks guys!

OK.....the 29 is available in open bow only at present.......I will have pics this week for you guys.

ILMOR 710 91+ octane

525 87 octane

496 HO 87 octane
