Another question...where should the 4 barrels be coming in? (Previous efi owner) Sounds like about 4k but that seems pretty high.

If you have any questions about the engines call Jason at Performance Marine/Saris Racing Engines, he did all of the work to them....about 5-6 years ago i think, has notes on every boat hes done. I think we put a new dash In it too?

Michael McMan owned the boat at the time, he ordered the upgrades.

Hahaha! We had virtually the same boats Steve - your 93 to my 95 your TRS's 525 hawks to my 3as and 525sc's. both notched transoms... I saw some porpoise that had to be dealt with now and again. Like I said kick the drives out and start to push the drives in while you felt the drag then back out...dealt with the same thing with a straight bottom'd #6 tiger with 1000's and cafe with 500's and bravos.....every boat had a sweet spot on glass. Bottom line? They don't like glass. They like 4's to start with. Seriously...big water boats, bottom line.

Try spinning them in see if that will help or put spacers in.

Might try swaping side for side and see what happens. If it doesnt help i can live with it til #4s, #5s or Arnesons become a reality.
