Yeah, we’ll rectify that! It is only at two barrel carb, but it is plenty for this motor and boat. We are still in break-in and can only go to 4,000 RPM, but it is noticeably quicker out of the hole and onto plane, and feels much faster. My son wants to do a 4BBL conversion and run through-hull headers. That boy is a fool for making motors squeal.

It all started with a LEGO set at Christmas when he was 3 or 4. It became a contest to get him the biggest most complicated LEGO set and see how long it would take for him to get it together, and then how long it would take for him to modify it and make it even better.
