Sounds like your Flame is very HOT!:drink: What speeds are you seeing and how does she handle @ those speeds? Dean |

You're right, there are some very attractive deal out there now. You must be looking a Fountain or a Cig. Whatever you get you will love the staggered after playing in the engine compartment of the Flame. I traded mine, huge convenience factor if a dealer has the one you want. I wouldn't put any more money in the boat. I would trade it in with the engines it has for the boat and power you really want and sell the 500's out right for beer, gas money and poker runs.:drink:
Thanks for the input, and I hear ya on the trade vs. selling out right convenience factor. I've watched your old 35 and a couple of other 35 sit on the net for sale for over a year?:eek: They are great boats, they just don't seem to have a "Cult" following like some other brands...... I sent you a PM. Thanks, Dean |
Do you need a cult? I found those cult members are pretty superficial. I look at it as how much fun I have, not who I travel with. Just my 2 cents. each there own.

Nay, I nevered needed a cult, I pretty much go my own way. Anyway, looks like we are going ease up on the new boat thing, and keep the Nordic. It's paid for and it's a great boat. Just going to repower it....:drink: Thanks, Dean |
In my book, the 35' Flame, like most Nordics, are by far best bang-for-buck. Period. Not to mention, I think still among the top-tier "best looking" boats on the water, at nearly any price. A day on the water never passes without someone commenting on how nice my Heat looks, and without me feeling the same way. My $.02.

I agree, they are great boats, and my boat is fast for the power it has, (79 MPH w/ 502MPIs), they have a very effiecent bottom. I just have new boat fever with all the deals that are out on the web.:drink: Dean |

Dean, The fastest I saw last year was 101.6, when we get up around 90 mph you need a little tab it will start bouncing from side to side. I don’t do it to often I've been through motors and drives. We just like to boat around and have a good time. Like IN2DEEP said they are "best looking" boats on the water for the $.
WOW, that's cooking! We too are just into boating with our kids and friends. I wonder what speeds I would see with ~ 600 hp motors? Congrats on your set-up, BTW, what HP are your motors? thanks, Dean BTW, what do you have for a boarding ladder?:eek: I can't seem to find one that I can mount to the swim platform, we use a "Rope Ladder" off the ski pylon! |
