Your boat was built by the Bower Brothers in Miami. They built a rock solid boat all hand laid. They closed after a few years not because of lack of sales but because they were catering to a certain market the Feds were watching. They reopened a few years later under the Corsa name. Same great boat. They also built a 31 and 41 under the Corsa name. You have a rock solid hull and it has a great heritage.

Are you still looking for a dual carb setup? I have an extra 750 cfm merc carb, but you're probably looking for something with a little more kick...

I'd dump the blower and go with a 496 stroker kit, big hydraulic roller cam and single carb.
But that's just me. I like KISS motors

I personally prefer a big single carb. They're way easier to tune, you don't gain much by running duals, and it's usually cheaper to buy one good carb than two smaller carbs.

I am assuming this was the plug for the newer 26' with the splash rail around the top of the hull. Bought it from eastern airlines liquidation sight unseen. It had a 1/2 to 3/4 of gel coat faring material on it and a piece of wood with a million screws for the spalsh rail in it. It took a ton of effort to sand it down, but turned out good. It's good point was there was a brand new ls7 motor in it with rotten merc accessories hiding it.
