Mercury wasn't using the 496 platform in 1997. When he posted about looking at it I think it was a HP500 carb based motor.
Ah.... Curious to see the ProCharger setup, then. I'm sure it's a carb helmet, but still curious. Thanks. Brad. |

All I know is so far the past two owners have had zero issues with the engine and Procharger. Everything seems to be very well taken care of, maintenance is up to date and documented.
It's a Brave One drive with a 28p prop. How would I know if the intake is being restricted? |
Congrats
Enjoy |

Congrats This isn’t an inaccurate statement. But I was referring to the hardware that seems to be right in the belmouth of the ProCharger’s intake. At the end of the day, though, if it runs well, it runs well. Thanks. Brad. |
I'm sure the OP is excited about sharing his new purchase that he's obviously taken his time on with everyone and not wanting someone to pick it apart. It's his first performance boat that looks really clean and has a great motor that looks well maintained. He shouldn't be thinking about anything but enjoying his new boat that has given the previous 2 owners trouble free fun, just saying.....
