Default Need Advice: Looking into buying a Heat

Hello Everyone,

I need your professional option....

I am looking into getting an open bow Heat and not sure which motor to purchase. I have looked at new one and used ones but everything seems to have the 496 HO. I have even thought about ordering a shell and installing a motor and drive. I could probably save a few bucks this way and get more HP for the money. Any suggestions????

I am looking for something reliable and yet fun to tool around with. I don't want to wrench on it all the time but don't mind doing upgrades once and a while. I am new to the sport...always been a gear head for cars and bikes!

I checked out a 05' last week with about 150 hours on the stock 496 HO. Clean boat but $65,000....

Thanks for your help and I hope to hear from you soon!

Talk to bobl. I heard he's selling his and can set it up with any power you might want.

I'll sell my boat any way you want it. It's a 2004 Midcabin. Right now it has 900EFI, ITS,XR drive with full hydraulic steering. If sold with this engine it will be totally refreshed with 0 hours. I have a line on a 500 EFI that I will probably install if I don't get a buyer beforehand. I'm asking 89k with the 900. I'll take 76k with the 500 EFI. I'll also sell it for 65k with everything but the engine. Check out my web site for a video of the engine dyno session. www.fullthrottlemarine.com

Cobra, Also as an FYI, the new owners of Nordic don't want to sell any boats without power. They'll install yours, but they want to be able to control what goes out the door. Give me a call to talk further. 830 6935591. I'm a Nordic dealer
