Just curious what is wrong with the power you have?

It doesnt like idling for miles on the intercoastal when the boats at our house in FL during the winter. Freakin manatees screw everything up

How about running on one at higher RPM? If you put donkey dongs on it, it won't be so loud as to draw attention. Run the port one out, and the starboard one in to keep the hours even. Run them as high as you can without creating an attention grabbing wake, maybe 1250-1500 rpm.

I no that cobra motor's run rich " carb's"
but at 4000 rpms + they run great :)
