yes i would like some more speed but im more concerned with getting the boat out of the water with a load in it.how much to do some mild upgrades to the motor?

There is all kinds of stuff you can do. I would start by have the top end worked, heads, intake, cam, exhaust, ECU re-mapped. The intake/exhaust are the biggest power robbers on that motor as well as the 502. Good engine builders have some tricks for the intakes, but not much from what I have read.

Look at the post a couple down in the Boat by region-Mid Atlantic treads, "Engine builder of Monty Cline" i think is what it is named. I talked with that gentleman about upgrading my 502. He said for $3500 he could boost my engine up to a little over 500hp. That is a good price, then you will need exhaust $1500-$2k and ECU re-Mapped for fuel/timing/AF.

Long and short, I would say $6k and you will have a good package with decent power that wont trash drives.

Someone else may know a little more than me about the 454s and can advise as well.

Hope this helps.

Take it over to Performance Marine in Bolton, get price for upgrade and pick up with Checkbook in hand. Seriously though for EFI stuff those are the guys to talk to in your neck of the woods and is totally work the phone call if you buy the boat and are looking for more power

Sounds nice....I wouldn't worry. In my experience people usually don' t stick to their word. If someone just said they were gonna buy it the guy most likely will never hear from them again.

Take money with you.....he will move on the price if you flash the cash!!!

It worked for me!!! Good luck!!!
