My 87 with 496HO's runs 67-68, but I suspect the X dimension may be higher than a boat initially built with bravos.
|
I dig it, would rather it be ho but if the rest of the boat is clean and the price is right it could be a good setup. Well with a cam swap...

Buddies cafe had 496's in it. Ran high 60's.

So......high 60's with very reliable setup. Forgive my ignorance, but a 525sc (or larger) will yield a few more mph top end? And with that, suffer much on reliability, not to mention the added expenses: fuel, insurance, maintenance. Again, just asking. If midrange power (power band), time to get to top end, and general badassery is the difference, then it makes some sense. |
Might even be able to swap cams without removing mills. Nice!

I had 525SC's in my gun. They were warmed a little but it's run 75 with 3A's. And yes, the mid range (boost assist) will be quicker than the 496s but who cares? Those 496's are turn key. |
65 seems a bit high when Rebar's 90 mph cafe with big power and 3s can be had for less money....just sayin'
good looking cafe though, good luck with the sale. |
Some of us feel that way but honestly I've found a lot more buyers for stock power bravo boats than even a mild powered #6 boat for under 100k it's crazy
|
Well I'm out!!!
