Need to repower my boat.
Is the new mercruiser 496 (HO 425 HP) a better engine than the old 502.
If yes - whats the difference.
The 496 costs 2000 dollars less.
Anybody of you tech-freaks who can explain to me.

Stockholm - Sweden says Hi to all of you out there.

It's part of GM's Vortech engine family..don't know much about about the 496 specifically but the other engines in the group have great power..very durable..and run very efficient..
