Looking at a used Nordic Heat. This boat has every imaginable upgrade and Extremely well cared for. (Could eat off the bilge area) with a Bristol condition survey. It would be a no brainer for me except for one big item. It has a Whippled 496 ho.
Has 100 hrs on rebuild. The motor was pulled and rebuilt with all forged internals and has full receipts so appears to be done fully correct. It passes leak down and compression tests. Out drives have upper XR and lower Imco scx
The owner has literally spent over 100k on the rebuild, custom trailer and other upgrades in 2018. I’ve been looking at building a new Heat with a 600 sci but can’t justify the cost new. Trying to decide on this or keep looking.
I’d be ok repowering to better power a few yrs down the road (Still money ahead on brand new)but worry about this blowing up before then. I’d like to get 2-3 years out of it to save my pennies. Thoughts?
