Nordic will be faster and thats about all they got on Formula, maybe some more flashy paint. other then that Formula is flat out better built and there fact support is second to none

I there some body who can give some comments on this?

I test drove a new Nordic 28 Heat a few years ago before I bought a 271 Fastech. The Nordic was a rattle trap. Lots of cheap plastic in the cockpit and it rode terrible compared to the Formula. I would agree however that given equal power, the Nordic will be faster. My 271 ran low 60s with a stock 502 MPI.

We used to have a Formula, may not be the fastest compared to competition, but are second to none in quality and solidness.

we are Dealer for Formula Boats In Essen, Germany and just 80 km from Venlo

we have a new 271 in stock that is now getting dialed in with its new engine

we change the heavy big block to a light weight small block fully aluminium- The engine is based on the Chevrolet LS engine, that is also used in the Corvette

It produces 550 HP and saves almost 300 kg (550 lbs) compared to a 496

on first trial we hit very quick rev limiter at 70 MPH , but I am sure the boat will run in the mid 70 `s when dialed in perfect with props and X Dimension

The X Dimension is now 3 `inch higher and the boat goes easy on plane - thanks to 550 lbs less weight



call us at +49 209 639604
we speak English, German and Dutch
