FYI I always check the secondary throttle plate adjustment, a good starting point is 1/2 turn open from closed

Any boat I have will get an LS before a carb motor getting converted to EFI 😁

I have built a few LS motors now and done the swap in Jeeps and trucks, next LS swap will be a boat! Just not this one. I have a bare 18' slickcraft hull that will someday get an LS and an underpowered 23' power play (powerquest) that will hopefully get an LS sooner rather than later.
