Does anybody have a 232 with a 496 MAG HO in it? Just wondering how fast........

thanks.!

C'mon guys, nobody has this combo? A friend of mine is dropping one in his, and I'm dying to know what it's gonna run.......!

How bout a 502Mag. Anybody have a 232 with that?

Madmax, long time no talk. Maybe you should buy the 496 Mag HO out of my new boat so I can put in a 525 for next year.

Well, I don't know 100% what this combo will do, but in comparrison a 25OL weighing 4750LB and a 24* bottom will attain about 67-68 with a 496HO. I would venture to guess that a 232 weighing 3900LB having a 23* bottom would be seeing mid to high 70's with the 496HO.

Hey Voodoo! Ya know, depending on the speed this combo will produce, don't rule that out. I haven't seen one with this motor in it. I know a 272 will do about 68-69 with it, so I would think a 232 would fly.

How many hours do you have on it now? Used your boat much this year? We've been up to LaCrosse a few times, and at the Ozarks for a week, so it's been a good year.! Only a few weeks left tho........

Baja Daze.........that sounds prob about right, maybe a lil high, but that was kinda what i was guessing also. Just hoping to find someone that has one....!

I have 2002 232 /496mag (375HP). below is a copy of an email I just sent Darin of Houston Propellers. I don't have a GPS so not sure what I'm running.

With a 502 Mag, 25P Mirage Plus, 70mph (GPS)
Chines after 68mph pretty badly.

What prop are you running there? Looks like good speed out of 496 MAG.
