Looking For Used Late Model 28' Heat
 

Prefer fresh water boat with stock power. Cuddy Bow models would be a big plus. I have a stout ProCharger motor to drop in after upgrading drive and steering.

I would love to hear from 28' Heat owners running big power.

"Nordic Heat" is running 650+ in his. He's got a ProCharged 540, I'm sure he'll chime in here. I just sold my 2001 28 Heat this past June...too bad, it's a nice boat.

How does this hull handle big lake sloppy water?

Great in my opinion. I've been out in Lake MI 3 - 4 footers and all sorts of slop.

Warrior,

I have a 2003 open bow Heat for sale. Boat is new with 496HO power. Go to www.unlimitedperformancemarine.com. We also have several closed bow models.

Thanks, but I already have one. 2003 closed bow. I've been thoroughly satisfied with it (which is unusual for me).

2002 Nordic Heat
 

I have a 2002 Closed Bow with a 2003 custom triple axle trailer. It has a 496 HO with about 45 hrs. I really need to sell it because I am looking for a wakeboard boat. I will give you a good price on it if interested.

Volvo rules, how big a motor are putting in? I buddy of mine has been running about 700 hp in his Heat and it runs great. He's making some modifications this winter to get it around 800 hp.

I've got a brand new 2004 Heat that I built a 650HP, 555CID Merlin for. Haven't had it in the water yet so I'm not sure how it runs. It has an ITS/XR drive package.

Warrior, what kind of speed is that heat with 700 HP getting?

Volvo....Have you considered ordering a new Heat without power? You can rig it with whatever drive package you want.

Volvo Rules, I have a friend with a 2000 28 Heat, open closed bow, 502 Mag. for sale. You can reach him at 317-506-4834. His name is Scott.

He's seeing around 80 - 85 depending on the weather. Most of the year was spent playing with the setup (new drive, labbed prop, etc.) I'm not sure what his final numbers were.

bobl,

Thanks for the info. Can you order direct from factory, or can you recommend a dealer to work with. I'm in Atlanta.

VR

You can not order Nordic boats from the factory. We are a Nordic dealer located at Jamestown Ky. on Lake Cumberland. Just a 5 hour drive north of Atlanta. Unlimited Performance Marine www.unlimitedperformancemarine.com

Hey Daytona25, tell Scott we still have the 28 he was interested in.

Hope all is well

Nordic Gary,

No problem dealing with you. Does this still mean that I can order a new Heat cuddy bow with no power?

VR

No power, no problem. Most people order the minimum power to get the drive already installed. You generally come out ahead the stock engine can be easily sold for a good buck.

Eternal Warrior,

My motor is a blueprinted 502 with all the good stuff that dyno'd at 802 hp and 742 ft-lb of torque. This motor ran in front of a Volvo DPX for years without torque related drive problems. I love the stuff, except for the lack of gear and prop options.

25Daytona,

I spoke with Scott and he's emailing me pics of his 28 Heat cuddy bow. Thanks for the tip.

VR here you go.

Hey VolvoRules,
Bobl IS a Nordic dealer. Check your logistics, he's in Texas and can order and rig the boat any way you want it. You could even pick it up in Havasu when done if that worked better for you. Power, no power, one of his custom engines, IMCO drive only, ITS drive only, whatever; ready for your motor.
