Thumbs up Ilmor marine.......

can they be any better? I have owned my V-10 powered Eliminator Daytona for 6 years. Boat runs just like day I bought her. 2 shootout trophies (96mph both years), but runs 92mph no matter the load, and I've held the boat WOT for 21 miles before without the oil even getting hot (it was warm though lol).

Nick at Ilmor has always personaly answered my phone calls and emails. Parts ship out fast and are correct.

Looking foward to another summer and Ilmor has a customer for life. Going to upgrade to the 700 this winter.

I do think they are great and great for the high performance market as they offer more than BBC's. I would love to seem them continue to expand and offer something with even a little more power.

The 570 is a great idea and I really hope it catches on as to me its got a lot more going for it than the merc 520, 540, and 565

CLA- I 2nd everything you've said about ILMOR & Nick. I've owned 2 ILMOR powered cats & the service & support have been unmatched. The Indy drive retrofit they assisted me with was 1st class & performs flawlessly making my boat that much more of a bulletproof package.

On a side note save the $$ on the 710 upgrade & just buy my boat!!

The all white Outerlimits 40 had close to 300 on their 650's but had them refreshed last year.
