Thanks for the comments guys,
Make no mistake, I've spent alot of time dialing this engine in. Countless timing and jetting test runs on the lake after work.

I was a little concerned after some of the comments BUP made regarding the tone sounding like a 4 cylinder. (because in my head I knew what he was saying made total sense) So when we first fired her up, I walked all around the boat and just listened. I totally agree with liquidlounge regarding the crossover tube and I will say this: the cadence of a V8 can be heard no matter where you are standing.

Does it sound like twin 502s, no of course not. That's not what this is.

But for those in the know, an experienced ear can pick out the difference between a 383 and a 350. The 383 just has a different tone.

And I really like the mufflers. They knock down the "shrill" sound that I've heard on other boats. They make for a more throaty-bassy sound, which is what I was after. Where sophisticated meets rowdy.
