Ilmor....... Without a doubt.

Five years running twin V-10s without motor problems.

Resale value of Ilmors??????? I would buy them again.

They sounded awesome.... I would definitely look into them based on what has been discussed in this thread.

if thats true, that would help them become a larger force. they need something out there bigger than 725

Although I would like to see some bigger power from Ilmor its a questionable investment from their standpoint

The market for Marine engines above 700 HP begins to dwindle considerably.

Becoming the sole engine supplier for Mastercraft was likely a better tooling and production investment than would be a an 800 series engine and a smarter move.

I thought I would hate the sound from hearing the vipers and the v10 pickups, but the marine version sound great wound up. I have been looking at boats with either merc525s or Ilmore 600s and it appears to me the Ilmores are asking more $$$. Personally Id take the Ilmores because of the CMI header issues and the Indy drive vs the Bravo.

the sound of those things gives me cold chills..

the 710 and 725 are the absolute nicest natural marine engines out there. Period.

i saw them at desert storm a couple years ago. i always wondered about the "seemingly" lack of slope coming out of the headers and including the tail pipes.

maybe the v-10's don't suffer from reversion as much as the bbc's???

i don't know but it's my favorite for certain.
