...and yes....we should get back to the RAYLAR info. I am curious about that as well.....sorry for any derailment here.

Re: Mhale00 & Raylar Kit
 

Thanks......all our NORDIC clients have been very very happy with the performance of the boats. So far so good.

Re: Mhale00 & Raylar Kit
 

One word in this sentence explains that LMAO!!!!!

(he must have found a ProCharger laying around :drink: )

Re: Mhale00 & Raylar Kit
 

JEEZ....so negative!

BTW ...... No changes in layup / lamination

Food for thought since you like the mag tests so much......POWERBOAT tested a 28 with a 496HO in CA at sea level in salt water and got 70.9 MPH. What is your elevation in Salt Lake City ?

Re: Mhale00 & Raylar Kit
 

Sorry LIOPA, don’t mean to sound negative; Just friendly conversing :drink:

I know personally what hp it takes to run anywhere remotely near 90 at Havasu and it won’t be found in a naturally aspirated Ilmor. I also know Lonnie :rolleyes:

Great run on the 496HO at sea level and on salt. Neither Steve (INDY) nor others have been able to duplicate it nor will a mere100 hp add 10 mph to that impressive number.

We live at 4500 feet and boat between 4500-6200 feet. Your customers Heat would do good to approach 70 in these parts. It’s quite a humbling experience when boaters come here. Note though, all the test I have listed in this and other threads do not include any high altitude numbers for obvious reasons.

Also, I’m not totally unfamiliar with saltwater…see below :evilb:

Re: Mhale00 & Raylar Kit
 

Understood Dave,

All I can say and post is what these guys are getting on GPS.
....and yes have seen it on board myself.

I am truly surprised others have seen such low numbers.

The offer is always open for anyone to come out for a ride if you visit this area. We are trying a new prop on that 28/525 boat this weekend. I'll let you know what happens.

Paul

NICE 25 BTW....what was in it?

Re: Mhale00 & Raylar Kit
 

Hey Dave,

The 525 BTW is very under rated by Mercury Racing. They DYNO higher out of the box than the stated 525 HP....more like 540-545. The 496 HO is on the money at 425 HP...so the gain is closer to 120 HP. On the Nordic, Ultra, and Velocity 28's 12-13 HP = 1 MPH in these parts. Which makes more sense on the speeds being seen here.

Re: Mhale00 & Raylar Kit
 

I have heard about 1mph/17hp which is about 6mph for an additional 100hp.

Re: Mhale00 & Raylar Kit
 

So to do 60 MPH you will need 1020 HP :eek: LOL :D

Rage, here is some very reliable info...
