You might have more fun with the 500's.They might not be as fast as ,but should go a lot farther with less trouble.And a good base for upgrading later if needed.Besides 90 still beats a lot of boats.Good luck.Side note M D G has some he went through for a few dollars more.:cool-smiley-011:

Definitely makes more sense, about the same as the Whipple kits then sell of your 496's and recoupe what you can. They will add to the value of your boat, the Whipple kits might even hurt you at resale time. You likely would even get away with the standard Bravos. I had 500's in the last Fountain with standard Bravos and never had any problems. You should run high 80's with that package.

That would be the best route to take,user friendly and a good feature for re sale value and the boat will run in the high 80s with no problems and they should not eat up the drives.

Well I called MDG and the motors were sold. You guys keep your eye's peeled. I feel it would be the best route to take,user friendly and a good feature for re sale value and the boat will run in the high 80s with no problems and they should not eat up the drives.
