Default Formula 382 W/Ilmor 725's

I just put a deposit down on a 382 with Ilmor 725's. Has anyone had experience with the Ilmors? I've only had Merc's and am wondering what the differences are?

Is this a new boat? Congrats either way!!!! I had a 2002 with modified mercs. Ran 95+ with 800hp and upper 80's with almost 650hp. Those motors sound strange but I would love to have them (and that Indy drive). Will be a 90+mph ride too!

Congrats
Can't wait to see the performance. I wouldn't buy a new build with anything but Ilmore's. Will it have Indy drives? That will be a great package.The Fx that was built was quite a machine.Did you order factory direct,or thru a dealer. Good luck,and keep us posted. Welcome too BTW.

Thanks, It is a new build with Indy Drives, and it was ordered through a dealer. My current 382 has 525's, and I'm anxious to see what the new boat will do.

I've had both and it will be hard to own another boat that doesnt have Ilmors. Our 650's and Indy's have been great. Good luck with the boat!

CONGRATS! Sounds like an awesome package! You don't mention what stage they're at in the build, but it would be great if you could keep us formula guys up to date by posting some pics as you get them of the progress...

It's not a Formula but it is an ILMOR Indy Upfit! Project came out nice, real bullet proof pkg!
