Merc had one in their booth at the show yesterday. Didn't look to long. No blower or turbo on it. I believe it is a replacement for the 425ho mag. They had quite a display of all their stuff including all their new package's. I noticed that stuff they were not going forward with was not there like the 1200sc's, but I did not notice if they had a 496 on display or not.

1) They are kind of a ***** to rig with tailpipes and Captain's call as the manifold/cc exit is about a foot farther aft than any other engine.
2) The cc definitely makes the engine compartment VERY hot. Heat in the box slows you down; no matter what engine you've got.
Other than that, they appear to be great motors.

Is the CC required now? If you have a new boat built that is equiped with a CC are you required to always have one? Not that it would be easy for anyone to check up on you.
