2009 37 Excess with twin 710 Ilmors...
 

We're ready. Are you?

Pat and I have been kicking around some new ideas for the 37 Excess this year.

We see some advantages with the Ilmor 710 like fewer moving parts, lighter weight (probably 800+ lbs. total weight savings for twins, using an Imco drive or similar), back to a "trademark" flat and padded sunpad, also lending to a sleeker bilge and associated rigging. We are researching warranty options on the Ilmors as we speak.

If anyone is ready to seriously talk about some brass tacks, you know how to reach me. :boat:

Sounds like an impressive package. With the weight savings...WOW!!

Looks like "Your" next boat Brian. :D:cool-smiley-011:

Good luck with that one. I have heard mixed reviews on the package and have heard nighmares about the the support! Mercury Rules for a reason!

These engines have to be staggered. If not you'll get left behind. :Whatever:

DITO, MERCURY IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO...

c'mon...Where's the Diesels and ASD-8's:D

Alos the not utilizing a blower like the Mercury 700 .... The ILMOR has a fuel burn rate of 43 gallons/hr compared to the Mercury which is 66 Gallons /HR ...fuel saving as well as as weight savings and yes .... less to break on the ILMOR :cool-smiley-011:

Let’s face it! I like efficiency but my fuel cost, even paying $4.60 per in the Keys the last 3 months, is only 10% of my boating cost per year. So with the 700SCI package versus the 710 Ilmors it will be 11-12%! : Whatever: I rather have Mercury, more fuel burn, and piece of mind for my 1-2%.

Well, at least this thread got the Prop-Master back on OSO. I figured you'd be up the challenge. :eek: :D I guess your protractor is in winter storage, eh? :drink:
