Need some boat buying advice

I am looking at an Advantage 32 with the 496 Mags, not HOs. Vintage @ 2001. Can anyone tell me what I can expect at WOT from these 375HP engines as opposed to the more common 496HOs? I think its safe to assume 28p props. Also does anyone have any remarks on the difference in price one might expect to pay on a well maintained 20 year old Mag powered twin vs HO? Thatks for any help you can offer.

Oh BTW in case you are wondering why I dont post this in the Advantage forum, well its because it seems that currently I am the only one posting there and I cant answer my questions.

You'll see low to mid 70s instead of low 80s. The condition of the boat will determine the price more so than the motors, but I'd pay $10k more for the 496HOs.

Thanks Lars. Can you offer similar insight into the same boat with 502MPIs?
