Default upgrading power

starting to plan on upgrading power next year and I need some input. I don't want to do any glass work to the transom or change drives so what can I do to my 09 dominator as far as power and have room to put in 600 to 650 hp. I have 496HO's and X drives now.

Bo-g is right Raylar or Whipples, check their websites out. Or you can get the new 36 with 525s and not turn a wrench.

If you’re going to add bigger power I would look into upgrading the drive to an XR…

Talk to Dean at the Bravo shop he can get you running straight!!

The money spent up front may be well worth it!!

thanks...i bought the boat because it was turn key and should be very dependable so when I upgrade I DO want to stay that way. I guess I could go ahead and look into a new 36 or and F-4 with ilmors or 700sci's
