Is that true? That must be new. Last year the 496's came with 2 year if installed by a "Diamond Mercruiser" Manufacturer and 1 year if they were not a "Diamond Mercruiser" Manufacturer. All a Diamond manufacturer is a company that installs more than X amount of motors a year. Fountain, Donzi, and Baja are all Diamond
The reason I know that was that Pat was trying to sell me on a 496 33 when I bought my boat. To upgrade to the 5 year extended it was 3K per side at in late 2006.
Sorry for the incorrect info. For some reason I had it set in my head that the 496's had a 5 yr. warranty.
I think Brian told me he had 5 yrs on his 496's. I didn't realize it was an extended plan that he was referring to.

I thought this thread was about building a 39 footer.
Just take that stupid swim platform of the 43 and you'd be there.
Besides Thunders have flat transoms and recessed forward decks..that's just how it is.
What ever you build... it needs to be able to be staggered even if it means getting Harry and redesigning or moving the step.
I believe today to be competitive speed is more important than size. But the real trick is to have both!!

Just because it works well for others, does not mean it will work well for all.
