Just finished my Ilmor training on site. Biggest thing I saw was that their people are there because they want to be there, not just a job, there enthusiasm for their work is huge. That is hard to find.

Focus on the small block V8 and matching outdrive is taking priority over new big HP stuff for now.

For all the ski boats they are putting engines in it should be.

Maybe $4,000, but that's MSRP. NOWHERE NEAR a $20k difference.

based on what Ian told me a couple months ago, I would say that if a dealer/ manufacturer told U more than that then they R try'n 2 screw the pooch!!!

The Ilmor 725 Indy is only a few thousand more than a 700 nxt.

And I would choose the Ilmor for the reliability of n/a.

Ilmor. Would not think twice about it.

More power, less weight, great service, reliable, good looking, Indy drive, nice sound, fuel efficient.

This.

Looks like the Merc is actually a bit more expensive.....

"The Ilmor 725 with the Indy drive is not cheap, though it is less than a comparable Merc package.Retail price for a single engine/drive is $86,800, excluding propeller. Count on about $6,250 for a Hering forged stainless prop. However, a Merc Racing 700 SCi/NXT carries a retail price of $90,903 excluding prop. "
