Default 496 engine cover

I have a 2001 Fastech 271 with a 496. Looking to purchase a Mercury 496 engine cover.

DWStrick,

I have one that I will be ready to let go of once my 496 rebuild is complete, as I'm gonna to make a new custom one. It has a slight modification to accommodate ducting for a ProCharger, but it will virtually unnoticeable at a casual glance once installed.

I've already offered it to someone else, so it's his if he wants it when the time comes. But we know how those things go, so it will be available otherwise.

I'll PM you just to establish a line of comms.

Thanks. Brad.

Thanks Brad. My Fastech only has 135 hours. I purchased the boat in October and noticed the engine cover was missing. The Marina must have taken it off too install the captains exhaust.
Let me know when you would like to sell and I can send money via PayPal

Thanks Dave

Dave,

I’ve reached out the other guy. He’s got first refusal. I’ll give him a day or two to respond. After that, $100, plus the ride. Sound fair?

Thanks. Brad.

DWStrick, SecondWind,

My bad. It was $100, and it still should be. Somehow, I got $150 stuck in my head, which is what I offered it to AShipShow for, plus the ride, which worked out close to $75. His priorities changed a bit, so he declined. I need to extend that same offer to hime. When I hear back from him, if he still declines, it's available for $175, shipped.

Trying to keep it honest.
