After seeing the finished 28 SS Nordic with the 1350 on the SEMA thread I couldn't stop thinking about what a dam near perfect high performance cat this boat will be. You couldn't really ask for a better all around super performance cat for Havasu. That package you will be able to flat hammer on it with really not much to worry about. Not to big, single that seems to be almost bullet proof with maintainence, big enough to handle some decent water, and fuck that things going to be quick and fast. Nordic sure is putting out some nice stuff.
In the next month or so it will be interesting to see what the Eliminator 28 Speedster with the singe 1350 will be like. Comparing the two if it happens, will be a great thing for all of us to see. From price, performance, ride and handling capabilities, and really which one runs harder. I believe the Speedster is a true 28 bottom, is the Nordic? Need to compare apples to apples. It would be interesting to see if the 8 drive were to be replaced with a 6 drive and see if the mph and acceleration picks up. If ya really think about it by the time you price out a real 1400 hp motor from a reliable engine builder and add a 8 or 6 drive system to it your dam near the price of a Merc 1350.
Consider the price, I hear and don't hold me to this but the Speedster is just over 300k and the talk sounds like the Nordic will be close to that, again don't hold me to this. That's a shit ton of $ for a single engine cat. Hell you could go get a couple year old Skater DCB MTI for that. I got to say and this is after owning a few twin engine hi dollar cats I think the single 28 is more appealing to me and I'm talking for Havasu. Half the cost on maintenance, and I bet both will run dam near if not more, 150.
Thoughts?
