I can’t keep up.. Is this the new target for the 450?
I'm really curious what a boat could do with just one 450.
130's a good number, so I'm sure somebody will be gunning for him. That's what makes the next guy faster.
That should be a good one to see. Low cost is a relative term. The motors are a bit rich for my blood, but eventually the bigger motors won't be the top of the food chain. I figure learn what I can now, maybe put it to use later.The new eliminator 25 with a single 450 would be very interesting to see how fast it runs and how low the cost is new
I think it would be a turd. Maybe 65-70The new eliminator 25 with a single 450 would be very interesting to see how fast it runs and how low the cost is new

I bet it will outrun a 525 25, I don’t think those are exactly turds lolI think it would be a turd. Maybe 65-70

Do you know what prop was used? I was hoping that boat ran over 100.22 with a single 450 would be tasty, it did 94 with the 400.

I LOLed when I read “low cost new” and “Eliminator”.
That would be fast for the price though..

140k ish would be my guess

Lol. It has no where near the torque. The 25 isn’t a small boat. The outboard setup is 700 lbs lighter than a 496 bravo one setup. 496 is a 70 mph boat. Barely enough to get the hull working. So this set up given 700 lbs less would maybe do 80Ian dropping a bomb and walking off.. Well done sir.

I retract My previous statement.
now twins on the other hand. Now we’re talking!

There is a twin 400 being built now, should be interesting.

As well as the biggest difference between I/O and outboard...... The CG being MUCH further back allowing the hull to free up with less air speed.And it makes 25 hp more then the bbc as well. And also a bravo is not a surface penetrating drive while the 450 is so you can run a bigger prop and trim to a point that would exceed the 24.5” max trim of the driveline of a bravo. Thus making it more efficient as well.
Last week I was told they can’t get any 450’s yet. For awhile it was cod with merc following the bankruptcy but possibly that has changed now with the new owners. A hull can only go so fast up to its design limitations, there comes a point where it becomes an airplane and your just wasting money.I believe they jumped to 450’s. You have as much experience as anyone with these hulls. What’s your guess on top end in the 25? The norm seems to be in the 7-10mph pick-up with the 450 vs 400. I would think the extra RPM’s of the 400 would be better VS the 450 torque. The 450 should spin a larger prop out of the hole but it’s not a 30’+ boat so I’m not sure it’s needed.
Either way, pretty cool time in boating. Looking forward to seeing some numbers.

If have to assume the cost and efficiency of the twin 300R would be right there and better than a single 450RThe new eliminator 25 with a single 450 would be very interesting to see how fast it runs and how low the cost is new
Randy in FL has one on a 22’ Liberator...dunno if he’s got his hands on the right prop or water conditions yet but I’m pretty sure he was already north of 120...with one hand on the wheel and the other holding his phone to video.
Tuff guy, eh?
Damn, that’s a nice number, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it still get better. I have folded. Tons of us just won’t keep up, but it is sure cool to see!

Why is it that when the Nordic came ran they gave us the first number then have pretty much went ghost since? Dcb released there’s and so did dw. Why the secrecy from Nordic now? The suspense is killing my friend is why I’m asking...

I know Bully has been over the top busy since Powell & doubt he has had time to test.
The Nordic 35 is a BIG boat with a narrow tunnel by today's standards. I hope Bully gets it to 130 but that seems optimistic to me.
I absofrickunlutely LOVE that all these manufacturers are running outboards like crazy now, even if theres ZERO chance I can buy a new boat anytime soon, nor would I want to, we love our boat.

Not a cat but hallett is currently building a closed bow 210 with a 450 strapped to it!I'm really curious what a boat could do with just one 450.

A 210 with a 450 should be real interesting. That seems like a light enough hull that it should have good acceleration.Not a cat but hallett is currently building a closed bow 210 with a 450 strapped to it!
Love to see that, that be one bad boat!!!A 210 with a 450 should be real interesting. That seems like a light enough hull that it should have good acceleration.
If a 300 or larger should happen to, "fall of the truck", There may be some glass work and fabrication going on in my garage...have a 21ft open bow that could be a ginnea pig
serious?450HP inboard should run that and then some..Outboard with same power and HIGH X dimension will always be faster..I think it would be a turd. Maybe 65-70
