Good read on ILMOR

[east tx skier]

Ya and new and improved muffler bearings, upgraded flux capacitors and more powerful
dew- hickeys!!!


ILMOR is impressive. INDMAR has been a constant and has helped drive MC forward over the last 25 years. MC will set itself apart from the others like they always have and will. As a dealer we have opened our doors to ILMOR but certainly will maintain our relationship with INDMAR. They have been and will always be an asset to our dealership

MC had a mid year swap from PCM to INDMAR in 1986. INDMAR is celebrating its 25th year with MC hence the logo!!!

Easy there with those exclamation points, Jim. Just having some fun.

Just think how many people will be selling these boats as 25th Anniversary boats soon!

i will not be jumping onto the ilmor bandwagon. Maybe after 5+ years, and its proven that these new engines hold up like the old, then i'll consider...

[jason95gt]

Ilmor has had years of success in offshore racing along with just their engine knowledge that there is absolutely no need to wait and see how they hold up. Everything these guys do is top notch.

Also find it a little funny there is concern about Ilmor HP. Why advertise? The Indmar's have been over rated for years!

Just wanted to make sure everyone understands that Indmar does not advertise horsepower on our engines. You will not find HP listed on our website or in any of our product literature. The horsepower numbers associated with our engines are chosen by the boat manufacturer, not by us. We supply measured HP information to the boat manufacturer and they decide what HP number they want to use. They can choose any number they want that fits in their marketing plan as long as it is within plus or minus 10% of the measured HP. If our engines have been over rated for years you would need to take that up with the people that assign the numbers.

Off shore and ski boats are two very different beasts. One clear difference is that you don't get to break down the engine after every run on the ones that go into the ski boats. I'm sure they're a great builder but they wouldn't be the first manufacture to have a bad vendor-ed part shipped to them. These will also be production motors at a very different price point than the ones being installed in the go fast boats.

With all the bold statements being thrown around I certainly would hope they have zero problems.

Very enightening. Been hearing the 'controversary' for a few years and this now comes to light. Thanks for all of your input here.

It is certainly usual and customary for many TT members being resistant to change. Why would I want this "Windows?" I can operate DOS just fine, I cant imagine anything better."

Unless you unload that 08 and get an 11 your opinion doesn't matter.

Took delivery of a 197 with an Ilmor engine last week. Only had it in the water for a short period of time, but I'm impressed. Looking forward to giving it a workout next spring. Only issue I've discovered, there were no valves to shut off hot water to the heater core. Five bucks and a trip to Lowe's cured the issue.
