Yes, go EFI. After all of my expenses, it would have been the way to go, one of a few regrets on this build.

Should have went EFI and Whipple instead of Carbs and 14-71s, oh well, keepin' it old school i guess.

No blowers for me that's for sure. Think it will have more power then the bottom and drives can handle.

I can sale carbs and full MSD systems for the motors. All the stuff is new and the carbs are fully built tuned

I made the change to EFI at the same timing as you're at, and I am glad I did. I'll shoot you a link to my builds if interested. They came out great and reliable.

After talking to the engin builder it will be about 5k per motor. Would rather take that 10k to finish the boat. Paying cash so no note and debt free is the way to be. Going mechanical fuel pumps also. Making it simple and ez. May have to crank on them and docking may be harder with the size and build of the motors but can work around that.

Going to go with the same purple on the motors as the gauge bezels, grab handles and dash writing have

That's the plan. But that being said its been the plan the last two years. lots lf obstacles were hit along the way.

Well I hope to see it! I was busy with work out of town last year and his was the first we missed in about 5-6 years. Only other one we missed was when they had 25mph winds across lake and we could get there from Slidell! A friend in a 40ft skater only made it to madisonville!

Good luck!!
