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.

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!!!

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

This.

Ilmor. Would not think twice about it.

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



+ however many we are up to at this point :-)

Ilmor rocks!

All my Buds get me fixed up in Key West???????????

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. "
