Nordic 35SS Twin 450 getting wet. TODAY !

[AZMIDLYF]

Bully, how much difference would you notice running the 400Rs in the cooler winter air? These 450s should wake up as well.

 

[Bigbore500r]

Iron merc bbc with a bravo is around 1100 lbs fully dressed. Alumn heads ain’t getting you any where near 720 lbs

Aluminum heads, intake, tubular headers.......I think you could get close in N/A trim

 

[hallett21]

Every build that is brand-new with new power has a complete learning curve. I remember all of my different projects over the years. Always and adventure....thats the fun part.
And then when you do something no one else has ever done that's the dessert with ice cream.



I'm extremely happy how the first splash went. Two guys hundred gallons of fuel . Freaking ugly miserable hot shitty humid air....yuck

Next test sesión will be early AM.

Pretty damn cool to watch you build these things. Saw you running the 28 2-3 weeks ago. My brother and his buddies had their jaws on the floor when you passed us at the mouth of the river [emoji1303][emoji1303].

I imagine Merc likes to be a part of your setup since you seem to be the poster child of getting every last MPH out of their stock motor. That and you actually run your boats.

Wishing you all the success on this one

Fuel systems
Ignition
Closed circuit cooling system
Power steering
Oil coolers

Not gonna happen at all. You know all the shit you need to make it run that bench racer forgers is needed in weight totals lol

 

[Tom Slick]

I'm sure that this has been asked and answered before, but I'm curious what the cost of the 400R and new 450 are?

Beautiful new boat. Congratulations!

Jaco Marine shows them being about 15k difference. I believe that’s literally motor only though. Rigging, controls, etc are extra.

Oh you assumed I was running all that? Maybe I was running a mag, no alternator, no PS, raw water cooled, and a big ass set of fucking zoomies. Bench race that shit!

I was refering to the powerhead itself. Meaning a BBC on it's own is approaching the weight of the 450 assembly. I think that's where wires may have gotten to be crossed? I only know weights of V8 motors from springing cars. The only outdrive I've messed with is an Alpha...and just that upper and lower were pretty heavy.
In my defense, to date my motor building and racing has been with wheels. Going fast on water seems to be exponentially more expensive

Huge difference in winter....I’ve seen as much as 12 mph in some boats

[lake p.a.l.]

Guys, please remember this is a BIG boat. It dwarfs my 30 Skater.

Sorry, DA PACKER GAME IS ON....

May have had a couple adult bevvys.....



You're Jerry, you're brother is Brian?.....





I know it bugs the hell outta me when folks mix up my brother and I....





Not the diminutive "masheenist".......

 

[monkeyswrench]

Did the Nordic get scaled with or without power? It looks massive on the trailer, but super sleek and light at mach 5 going by the camera

Wouldn't it be easy to tell you and your brother apart?...You're the one with a beverage in your hand, or in a boat

It would.... my brother doesnt drink.....
Ever.

Not sure why, he just doesnt.


Also, he doesn't boat.


Let's get back to the new Nordic, and the all new power plant....
I'll place my bucks on Saturday morning having some legit #'s, but you wont read about it till Saturday afternoon.
Most folks that care will be out on the water, and will read the results on Saturday night.



Just my opinion of the events to come of course.........

If a certain large boat with twin 450's should happen to head up river...I will report back
I always look when I hear the distinctive sound of twins hauling ass!

You'll know EXACTLY what it is when and IF you hear it. The song they sing is quite distinctive....

However, that being said, I doubt they'll make it that far up river. Too much to get done to venture that far.....

Back to the monkeyswrench question...was the Nordic put on a scale pre-rigging and post?

Love the sr-22 and the way they do the interiors. Almost like a dcb or cig


Are you going to the High Sierra Fly In next month

No I’ll be deep into aerobatic training.

Yes it will

 

[dntnosht]

That’s a damn good looking truck, great looking boat as well. I’m expecting to hear 124 when merc is out.

Why would you expect 124 when its 115 degrees and humid?? Won't even get close to that number until its in the 80s

 

[monkeyswrench]

It should be mid to high 80's if they can get it launched early AM like Bully was saying. That should help. Another set of props should help too. I don't know if that and a few hundred more rpm will net a 24mph gain, but should definitely gain some regardless.

[02HoWaRd26]

Yes it will

I’m sure it’s obviously not a real comparison right now as the set-up isn’t par yet, however after having seat time in the 35 w/ 400’s and the little you ran this one so far, can you give any actual opinion on the 450 being worth the $$,$$$ differences not yet?

Maybe he’s been hanging around with RD too much? Looking forward to seeing what this thing can do

 

[Tommy Gun Images]

Can’t wait to see this thing in Powell! I can’t remember feeling more humidity then I felt at sunrise this morning in Havasu. I know it’s not the conditions you guys were after but I hope you guys can get the setup nailed down [emoji1303]

112 at 5400 in stinky humid weather, wow that’s impressive

 

[Blackmagic94]

Jesus 112 and you almost 1000 rpm more left in it.

 

[FreeBird236]

I saw you cruise through the channel, looking good.
