Hmmm. I was hoping more. On another note, what do you guys think of the whipple kits for the 496. I thought that, and my labbed props may get lucky and hit 78-79?

Brand new 496 HO's were on the market last year for under $8K. I saw several advertised and could not believe how low they were priced.

As with anything they are only worth what someone is willing to pay. You may find a buyer for more $$$.

Talk to Bobby Todd aka "Crayola Crazy" about the Whipples on the 496. He has done it twice now and I think if he could go back to square one he would have build complete new motors.

Good luck

What model boat ?

Buy or build another set suited for what you
want to accomplish.

Get the $$$ out of the 496's while you can.

Supercharging them makes them pretty much
worthless in the eye of a potential buyer.

A friend of mine has a pair of pro-charged 502mpi's
in a 36 O/L, that he's trying to sell, and he cant even give the boat away......every one is scared of the engines/superchargers.

Not anything new, but the old reliable stuff is still there. Hair dye & gold chains are ALWAYS targets.

The Hammer X has to be one of the ugliest boats ever to be made.
