You pick the engine !
 

Just want to get some insight on some of the engine builders I'm looking for something for the Nor Tech 36 cat 700-800 hp.
I'm finding a lot of options. resale is key since it seems i never keep a boat to long. what would you choose? keep in mind a limit of 50k for both engines :eek: I know they are many more, just a few that came to me. lets exclude merc. on this one.

Thanks Jeff

Re: You pick the engine !
 

Zul or Jc or Tommy, all good picks. Parn's Merc 800's would be great they only have a couple of hours on them.

Mercury.....

Thanks Eric!

Re: You pick the engine !
 

for resale I would look at just 6 , mercury, Illmor, Richie Zul, Cheif, Eickert, only problem is for 25k all except the 525 mercury will have to be used.new and in the 625-650hp will put you between 30-35k with headers, 700-750hp will be in the 35-40k range. the supercat motors running 7400 rpm's would not be wise, stay naturally aspirated., Nortech makes a very good 625 that you could get in that price range , call Ron he is very good and will treat you right and educate you a little on his motors.

Build it yourself from here and get a good assembler! ;)

Re: You pick the engine !
 

Colllyer performance. HOMETOWN BUILT.....

Re: You pick the engine !
 

I think he said he wanted them built for $50K. If ZUL will build 2 700 hp engines with headers for $50K then where do I sign up for them?

Re: You pick the engine !
 

SARIS!!!!! :evilb: :cool: :D

Re: You pick the engine !
 

can you say.....waaaaaazzzzuuuuuppppppp

Re: You pick the engine !
 

I am a Nor-tech dealer. I have a pair of Merc 1000SC's that I can sell you for $40k. Then you have a faster Merc-powered boat below your budget. If you want to go with smaller horsepower and are concerned with your bottom line at the end of the day, go Merc or Nor-tech. You may spend a little more now, but you will sell your boat faster and for more money.

JC Performance :chick:

Re: You pick the engine !
 

What do you know.......egg beater! :evilb:

Re: You pick the engine !
 

I know there are very few big blocks that can hold the sticks to the dash as long as me....when I find um I look to see what they are running. JC Perf or Zuls is what I usually find :drink: :chick: :drink:

Re: You pick the engine !
 

For that $$, JC or Mesa Balancing.

Re: You pick the engine !
 

have you looked at innovation in sarasota fla, they built some stout pieces as well as full race engines and have a pretty good warranty.

Re: You pick the engine !
 

Thanks! the 1000s are to much for the Arnesions, i will give Nor tech a call & see what they can do for me.

Re: You pick the engine !
 

Two names come to mind.
1. Tyler Crockett Racing near Port Huron MI.
2. Innovation Marine in sarasota.
Both have a long history of building some great offshore racing power.

Re: You pick the engine !
 

AHHHHH, so you can read the JC Performance sticker on the back of my boat!!! :D

Re: You pick the engine !
 

Kieth Eickert or JC Performance!! Kieth is building the motors in the baddest nortech ever built the new 47 epoxy!! Ballistic!

Re: You pick the engine !
 

Customryder,
Is the Donzi history?

Re: You pick the engine !
 

I am working on a new project. A friend of mine introduced me to Keith Eickert. When I spoke to him on the phone I felt like I was meeting a celebrity. I have to say, he is a very nice guy! When I told him what I was doing he agreed to help. After talking with him, it took me 16 hours to decide to let him do the work, have the engines pulled from the boat, got someone to rent a trailer, and got the motors to Eickert shop 200 miles away. I guess I didn't want to give him a chance to change his mind. He is going to see what he can do to bump up the power. Also change what ever he has to raise my RPM redline to over 6500. I'm excited to see what he can do with these. I'm going to need every bit of HP he can get out of these.

Re: You pick the engine !
 

In the past kieth has had problems with people that wanted to "help" him.. no matter what he has always been a class act!.... the real KIETH EICKERT is back!! and back to stay!

Re: You pick the engine !
 

Definitely Eickert

Re: You pick the engine !
 

I prefer to build my own, just wish I had a full machine shop so I could do more of the machine work.

Re: You pick the engine !
 

Eickert will build 700+hp for 25K w/ exhuast?

Re: You pick the engine !
 

If you are going w/ custom... go w/ someone local.

Re: You pick the engine !
 

not sure on pricing but i know of a few boats in my area that have great success with Sterling, 1200's and 1550's. i saw the post from Double R too, they have a lot of stuff to look at. isn't Innovation now Nor-tech engine builders?????
