Pretty hot boat right there!

fun boat,friend of mine

I dont remember if I say it on craigslist for Facebook market place in the Connecticut area but there is a 29 with big power for sale up there.

hi guys. hey, anybody know about the type of maintnence a 525 efi and a 500 efi is required? i keep hearing youve got to like rebiuld the top end every 300 hours or so? if thats true what is the average cost in doing all the stuff? thanks for any input...

Rule of thumb is 250hrs on the top ends and 500hrs on the bottom. That’s several seasons of boating in the north. Can’t comment on the cost because I do all that stuff myself. If you’re less of a hands on type a 496 or other “black” motor might be better for you.

500efi can a lot longer with out maintenance, almost double that.

hi guys. i may have a line on a 29 fever with a 496 ho. anybody out there know if thats enough hp for that boat? you guys maybe know the top end or how long it even takes to get on plane? thanks for any input.

Not enough HP.
High 60s mph.
Takes longer than it should to get on plane. Even longer with a big load.

In terms of cost of ownership you would probably come out cheaper on a 32 fountain with twin 6.2's. Always thought that was a good package. Or for that matter a Formula 292 with twin 6.2's. Parts are cheap, probably never have to rebuild.

I'll be putting my 2002 29 Fever with a 500 EFI on the market soon. It's a very clean boat. Call or text me at 205-585-8408 if you want to talk about it.

What kind of speed are you getting?

It's not a stock 500 EFI but looks the same. The only exterior changes are with CMI sport tube headers instead of the E Top's that came on the 500's and aluminum heads. It's been completely rebuilt and now is 540 cubic inches with around 700 hp and a bravo xr. I'm getting a little over 80 mph but I don't like the prop so there is possibly more in it.

Thanks for the info!
