How much of a premium/discount would be reasonable between a 525 / 496 package on the 35, everything else being the same. I've seen 525 equipped 35 Lightnings offered around $150k, so how much should be discounted for the 496 if any?

Recieved and back at you! Forgot to note in the PM that the boat is in a boathouse in Alexandria Bay. Check your PM's and give me a call.
FYI, there is no comparison between the 35 Lightning and a Formula 353. Been in both, hands down to the Fountain! Guys wifey must be a blonde.

Nice Boat
This is the way we ordered the boat for the customer back in 2006, it has been like this since new. Ran low 90's light load, high 80's with load.

Inquiring about a 2007 35 Lightning w 496HOs. The boat is advertised by Bald Knob Marina, told it's a one owner boat, appears to have headers which came with the boat from Fountain. Was this (headers) a Fountain option? Does anyone know this boat?

Called the owner - the boat now has XR lowers vs the -2 shorties and he said it runs 75 mph with a full load and about 80 with light fuel and just the driver on board.
Sharp looking boat but it is way underpowered.

Sounds like it needs to be looked at.
If you spoke with Chris? the owner of the boat someone should look at it if purchasing as the speeds are way off from when it was new. The full stagger 525 boats will run 102 and this one ran high 80's with load when we delivered. The older side by side 500EFI boats run 88 and with the CMI headers on this stagger the HP is not to far off of a 500EFIHP.
We still have performance report if someone here buys and needs it.

80+ mph w 496s in a 35 - can't argue with the value here, however will there be any problems with these headers vs standard manifolds for the 496s? I've read some horror stories of the CMI headers leaking and damaging 525s. I like what I'm hearing about this boat but want to get a realistic idea of what it will cost down the road. Thank you TeamShogren for the info. btw I saw one of your 2008 35Lightnings in Georgian Bay (Ontario Canada) yesterday - nice boat.

496 With CMI
I feel the header problem has been made out be worst than it actually was/is because of the way problems may have been addressed to the consumer by the mfg. Honestly, in freshwater boats, we have seen so few problems and most of the problems we did see were in 2005 and early 2006 model years. The headers on this boat were installed in 2006 and have not been a problem to date.
This is actually a very cool boat but if it only runs 75MPH there is a problem or it's in Guardian Mode.
Have a great weekend.
