Hey DPT,Yes it is. 496/XR We should know some numbers pretty soon !!! Dave

Can you get a pic for us once it is out of the box.
Thanx,
DPT

I will if I get back down there before it goes in the boat, otherwise I will definatley post some pics in the boat. Dave

Kool!!! Thanks Wardey. Is this a pleasure boat or is it being set up for the new F1 class????

I think the plans are to be in Miami. I know everything is at Grant's to finish the rigging. Really looking to see the speed numbers of this boat with that package. Should be really fast.

Yes a few boat that he has rigged or maintained have one. His rigging is pure artwork. That's not cheerleading its the truth.

KOOL!!!!

I think we will get some updates from Wardey after his next visit down to Grant's shop. I am really anxious to see how well it runs in an F1 configuration/Poker Run. Should be a phenominal running machine with the history of how well all the SVL's he has built have done.

Here's some rig pic's as of today. Dave

Thanks for the pics Wardey. Just curious if you got any pics of the 496 out of the crate rather then in the boat??? Is it much different in appearance to a standard 496 from Mercury??

Hey Dennis, The 496 is the standard engine for F1 from Merc. The 425 Innovation is the engine I think you are wanting to see. It is a stripped down version with out fresh water cooling. Dave
