Keep in mind you may have exhaust/ hatch clearance issues if you stray away from what you have w/o putting inserts in your hatch.

Has anyone seen or heard of 496 ho's on a 32?

Why do you want to go with the 496's so bad?

I would think they would look just like the 35EX that has them, the 32 just doesn't have as much room in front of the motors.

BTW

Other then the intake and header height, 525's are the same size as a 502. Does your 32 have the hatch insert?

525's is my vote. Very nice motors and the boat would run very good! I don't know much about the 496's besides that they are not mod friendly with out internal upgrades so my research stopped at that since I like to modify.

yes factory made a few with 496hos

They are? I figured the breather sticking out the front would make the 525's longer.

Id be open to putting 502s back on it if I could find some. Im not a mod freak and from what I hear 496s run veru smoothly and are as fast if not faster than the stock 502s. 525s are a bit outta my price range

Hey john, we know where this gentleman can get 525's with whipples and bravo xr drives!!!!! Only problem is they sure were not reliable!!

I had stock 502s in a 29 which has the same engine bay size and it was tight. I dropped in a set of 500 efis with lightning headers and was amazed how much more of the bildge and engine bay we could see. changing plugs is easy as well as anything else . I can actually see my bilge pumps and could never see them with the 502s. lightened up the azz end now the boat sits at least 2 inches higher out of the water. overall a great alternative to the 502s plus better performance
