Isn't there a pretty good difference in room between the Rage and Heat? I've seen both but can't recall how much difference.

I was thinking the same thing until Pat posted pictures. Compare post #5 (Rage) against #1 (Heat), the distance between the seat back and engine are identical!!
I thought the SC install was just a bolt on as you can purchase Mercury's HP600 SCI as an option from Nordic on both the Rage and Heat. BobL told me the 502 ci block is shorter than the 496 ci. I fell over when I checked Mercurys website and found an 11 inch difference between the two !!

Here are a couple of pictures of a Nordic Rage with a Whipple that are in the classified section. They show how the finished installation/seat/hatch works.

LOL!! Hey Bent!! I've been looking at both with BobL, the attraction of the Whipple has a couple of advantages (IMHO)
Best HP/$$ spent ratio
Easy return to "stock" when selling the boat
The negative side is tearing up the drive, steering(?) and 91 Octane gas price....
I wanted to talk with you yesterday.. PM me your tel number..

The Heat is deeper so the deck lid may not need to be cut(as much). Just have to work it out. I thought someone on here had a Heat with the Whipple package.

I rigged a 496HO Whipple in a Heat this past year and had to have the identicle work done as Comfortably Numb.
It does not fit without seat mods.
