FYI....my Mercedes blows away any BMW or most Ferrari's, Porsche too except the turbo. :drink:

No offense intended towards you Mercedes owners Nort. The 1%'ers have already taken enough abuse of late. :)

Yeah but for some reason they aren't any faster than the Merc 700's. Sunsation found this out in their F4, boat does burn less fuel than with 700's. Sunsation built a light cabin (no liner, no frill PR interior) on their Ilmor boat to better balance the lack of transom weight as well. They also built a 28 with a single 625 Ilmor that went to Greece.

I like the workmanship on the Ilmors, the V10 looks great also but not sure why more of them aren't out on the water....

I cant speak for Sunsation but the Ilmor's are about 2 mph faster in an Outerlimits and I believe the same in Hustlers.

Taking 600 pounds out of the back of a boat will have a huge effect. If the boat is properly rebalanced, or is tail-heavy to start with, it should run well.

The 43 Sunsatiom with Ilmors is faster then their 43 700 Merc boats.
