What I meant by my question was how available are parts for a product a few years after it goes out of production. IF there is enough demand for parts then the aftermarket guys take over. IF NOT then the product dies a slow death. ( BLACKHAWK DRIVES ) for example.

I would buy it if the overall package is a good deal and YOU like it. The 625 is a GREAT engine and ilmor stands behind thier product.
Let's face it this hobby cost money, doesn't matter if a part is not produced currently or not. If it's not one thing breaking its another. There's NO cheap way out when it comes to SPEED!
Enjoy your new boat!

I just bought a Formula 382 with Ilmor 725s and I am very happy with them so far...and yes, I know of the fear of the discontinuation of the motor package I also own. However, I have emails from current Ilmor employees and have had conversations with current Ilmor employees and they will be supporting the product and they also state that while they have discontinued the product as of now, this doesn't mean they won't bring it back when the market may call for it. If you would like PM me and I can give you names and numbers of people who work there who would be more than happy to squash your fears of buying something that will be supported. And it will not be by aftermarket folks, but Ilmor people themselves.
