Dave,

The newer hull sets 5-6" taller out of the water is a pretty big difference. Did Nordic change the bottom? Thats a big difference in weight or bouyancy. I bet it would take 4-5 large adults on the back to sink it that much. Maybe Gary can find out if they changed something.

Keep us posted

Linnie,
We have spoken with the dealer that ordered the boat and owned/operated for two years and he said nothing was ordered differently.
There were many coments from different people last year about how two boats alike sat so different when bouyed up side by side.
Hell I would have ordered a new one if I thought it would be 7 mph faster
Dave

You will be very happy with your Flame. I had a buddy of mine who has not run it one until last weekend, telling me how fast the acceleration was with 500EFI's. A little tweaking next year and you will never look back at a Heat.
