I bought this boat last year and finally decided to upgrade my sound system. I started having charging problems and was told it was my alt that i needed more amps. I had trouble finding a high amp alternator untill i came across MEAN GREEN HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATORS. They are just getting into the boating industry and i sent them my alt and they build me a 150 amp...WOW... For $599 it was worth it its been over a month and no problems.

Hmmmmm...

$600 for an alternator??????????

Run enough of the correct batteries and you shouldn't need it. Keep one battery for starting the boat and run the stereo off the others.

i tried new batterys and everything but these guys made it real easy they had my alt back to me in a week it was well worth it i think

Nope......he said only $599!

Is this your company or a friend's?

I mean how big a system did you put into a $5,000 boat ???? Normal working alternator on a 454 should have put out plenty of juice for 2 amps and 6 speakers with sub?? Hey chief that alternator is going to do you no good unless your running the motor anyway. Sounds like you got ripped off.

that is exactly the amount of speakers and amps i put in u really think i was ripped off i mean it solved my charging problem

I guess I just have to question, how much juice your original alternator was working to begin with??? I may have been a little harsh earlier and for that I apoligize, but I had 8 speakers, 2 amps, and two 10" subs running off one battery stock alternator on a 1998 454 stock, and never had a problem, normally its the batteries that can't keep up, not the alternators.

If you are happy with it, it doesn't matter what it cost, I mean over half the chit I buy for my boats is over priced, but its what I want.

I would suggest in you getting a back up battery and jumper cables to cary with you!!
