96 views and no replies??? How about a PM if your shy, I need to know this for legal reasons. My 496HO blew up after only 48 hours and I am getting the runaround now from certain folks related to my motor, So I could really use the help.

That's a bad deal kenny...
Sorry to hear that.
Shouldn't it be warranty as I believe your boat to be under a year old :confused:
Just for the record a friend recently bought a 496HO new complete for $11,000 but obviously thats not dealer cost....

Well for starters I paid 3k too much for the first one, Yes it's warranty but i'm going to court anyhow, I want to look at the Ilmor V 10 they are 23-26 k but getting good reviews so far. I would like to check out the Vortec..... Yeah it's messed up, especially since my whole family has been Merc for the better part of 25 years.

Larry Peto of Larry's Speed & Marine in Tucson sells a complete 572 like the two Charlie Guest runs in his 29 DCB for about 22 grand. 1 year warranty, 650 horsepower. Call him at 520.623.5373, tell him Craig from Phoenix sent you :)

Still nothing new Ken, on the engine?

If your engine is under warranty and hasn't been modified, why are you going to court? As an experienced merc tech, I have never seen Merc not cover an engine unless it was modified. Anyways, just curious. I hope you get the issue resolved. Keep us posted

I've herd that its easier to get top secret government documents than it is to get a dealer price list on motors.
You notice that no one who works for a dealer has stepped up "to help out a fellow boater" like they usually preach.
It's all about the bottom line my friend!!! Good luck Kenny

Sorry bro... I would help but I chose early on not to run Merc power.
If you are looking for re-power, I don't feel that anyone need look any farther than Marine Assault. That is where I stopped looking...

496 HO, with B1 drive (standard) is right at $16K, OEM. Only until July, and then, BANG, up again!

I seem to remember that the HP525 was somewhere around $45K back at the boat show when I talked to a Mercury rep. HP500 about $4K less. That's with a XR Drive attached. Those were list prices though.

Thanks for the posts guys it's much appreciated. I have a new plan for the motor, Phil Jr is going to get the new 496HO dialed in and then it immediately will be put up for sale, odds are it will have a longer then normal warranty period, possibly 2 years so it will be a good deal for someone. Looking real hard at the Ilmor MV 10 motor I just need to find a couple of people to give me a thumbs up. I love the Teague 800 but I think it's priced a little high but thats how it goes when you have a hot product, fair enough. If anyone wants first crack at this HO just send a PM and we can work it for ya.
