Re: 496 h.o.
 

Hydro,, I got those prices DIRECTLY from Raylar's site.. Heads alone are worth 500 hp and will cost ya 3 k if you can do the work yourself,, if not probably 4 k. Want the whole kit and kaboodle your looking at 6-7 k per motor...

Is Raylar 500 hp at the crank or the prop ??
is an H.O. 425 hp at the crank or the prop.

I think Merc. rates their's at the prop and raylar at the crank,, so the heads alone are worth 50 hp ??

Re: 496 h.o.
 

I heard Merc and Raylar HP numbers are at the crank. Merc is actually a little lower from what I was told (410-430hp). You need to make sure you understand the Raylar HP figures, he is pretty good with details on all combinations of options and I am sure the figures that get tossed around are NOT with the stock exhaust. Having said that I would bet he can give you the figures w/ stock exhaust and head change.

On the pricing, it seems like we need to get Trick Marine involved to get us some good pricing.
