bobl, that is one very nice boat. 900HP would really makes things interesting.
Mid to low 70's is really good for a boat of this size. You don't see very many, if any Baja's this size able to run in the 70's. I had heard and read that the hulls on the Nordics are very effecient.
What is a good typical price on a used 2000-up 25 Rage?

The Nordic boats are very new to us. We have actually never seen one in person before. The look of the boat and what we have read so far is what has us leaning towards one.

I live in Clarksville,Tn which is around 2.5 hours away from Unlimited Marine. Me and the wife are wanting to pick a day and go up there to see what they have to offer.

Now that we know where you live (you should fill that in on your profile), I can tell you that you have a lot of Nordics near you.
I think there are 7 or 8 Heats in Nashville now. The first 2 showed up about 10 years ago, and have continued to gain in popularity since then. When you figure in performance, looks, ride, practicality, price/value, it's hard to beat a Nordic. I looked at a lot of other boats before I bought mine. I also had a Baja (H2X) before I bought the Nordic, as did other members of the Nashville Nordic Navy.
The Rage is a great boat too, and Instigator's former boat is a nice one. Great graphics and smoking fast.
When you get to UPM, make sure you go out in a Heat too. If your plan is "big" water like Cumberland/Barkely/KY Lakes, you will like the bigger boat. If you are just "crusin' the Cumberland" River and smaller lakes, the Rage will be fine.

Steve
PS, If you want to take a look at mine, you are certainly welcome to. I live in Old Hickory.

We always boat on either Barkley or Kentucky Lake. We normally go to Lake Cumberland for the Poker Runs and on July 4th. We have never been on the Cumberland River. Around here it has way to much trash(logs etc.) floating down it.
I just might take you up on the offer to look at your boat. Thanks
