Looking for a Boat Bling 496 flame cover

[go4broke]

My wife bought me a pair of covers for my 496's on ebay for Christmas. One is the correct flame cover, the other is stock. The seller has no more to sell. Does anyone here have one they would sell? She is upset at not having a gift for me, I would like to see if I can fix it for her. New or used ok.29268

Wow, that is awesome looking!

[go4broke]

Yeah, its beautiful. Unfortunately it is different than the stock cover (no holes) so I can't have one painted to match. I don't want one cool engine and one nerd engine.

I have a carbon fiber one with no holes.

Welcome to Hotboat! You're right, you can't have a nerd engine ;)

Nice, where did you find this cover...

I bought it at CP Performance.

Yeah, I was gonna say...they still make aftermarket 496 covers...pretty sure they do..right?


Edit: Went to ebay, did a search for "custom 496 cover" and this came up...not sure if it is the one you need, but it does say there are two available......Hmmmmm......

And by the way it wasn't cheap....I actually laughed when they told me the retail price because I thought they were kidding. :yikes: Luckily that's not what I paid.

Thats part of the problem. The ones still on ebay will cost me $800. I can buy billet for that money. The ones the wife tried to get me were $159 each.

Thanks for all the welcomes! I like this place.

Well, as I like to say...any port in a storm. You could always pm the guy through ebay and make him an offer. It has been my experience that when it comes to sellers on ebay, what they want vs. what they will take can be and most times are two separate things....fire him off a message..see what happens....<B>

[go4broke]

Thanks for all the help guys. The seller now says he can get a second one, but wants nearly double the money to get what he already promised and my wife paid for. I feel like its a shake down, so I am sending them back.

I like the cover Tishimself put on his 496. You should buy two of these. ;)

Now that's just not cool IMO. Sorry to hear this.

Any pictures of your boat? (:

[go4broke]

Grads, you are 100% right!

Sweet boat! I bet that thing really handles the rough stuff. What kind of speeds are you seeing?

[go4broke]

67-68 gps with 5 people, 200 gallons, and 700,000 pounds of kids stuff. If I put on lab 26" props, 3 ounces of fuel, no passengers or gear, 2-3' chop, 70.1 gps. Not bad for an under powered straight bottom floating hotel room.
