Default New here looking for some info on Formula with 502's

Hey all, I am new here and am currently looking at a used 1993 Formula 303 with twin 502's, 500 plus hours on the engines. Anything I need to be aware off with this boat and /or engines. What is the horsepower of these engines if they are stock ? sorry if questions are dumb to you experienced folks but I would like to get any info I can before going any farther. This is a freshwater boat.
Thanks, Mark

At 500 hours I would request a compression test since valve work is likely needed. The bottom ends should be fine though. The 502s were rated at 415 HP. Since it is a 93 I would also want to make sure the transom and stringers were solid and dry.
