I can see how it does get out of hand, especially with the bigger hp. I'm leaning towards new merc 496's, keep it all stock. I doubt I'd be buying any kind of exhaust hardware like that. I'd like to take the apache up to you and Leon to get a better handle on what I can expect to pay for parts on the rigging. Can you guys do a new wiring harness? Sorry for the hijack VV

All I can say I have a $10,000.00 deposit just for labor to get started. When that runs out they will call me. So anyone that guessed less than that are out unless of course they give me money back.

[QUOTE=Velocity Vector;2654917]I'm going to sweeten the thread a little. Tell a friend, Winner gets a $100.00!

Look at the parts listed below: ??? POST>>How much is it going to cost for just the labor turn Key??? Taken out the old and putting in the new I want you guy's to take an edcuated guess on how much the labor will end up costing on the project, all I can say is it is $95.00 per hr.

To make it fair I'm staying out. When I get the final bill I will post the winner. Good Luck hope you win!
One guess and make it a good'en

3 Rules:
1. If you go over the total your guess doesn't count!
2. If for some reason there is a tie the earler post will win.
3. Once your $$$ guess is posted you can not edit it.
VV

Default Question?

It's assumed that they are doing all the mech rigging, but are they doing the electronics, intercom etc as well?
